George Clooney explains why he got cold feet about starring in TheNotebook.
."Basically, I was going to play him as a young man, and it was funny. We met and said, 'This is it. It’s going to be great.'", got cold feet after watching some of Newman's flicks in preparation for the project.
"He’s one of the handsomest guys you’ve ever seen," he explained."We met up [again] and I said, 'I can’t play you. I don’t look anything like you. This is insane.'" "We just wanted to do it because we wanted to work together, [but] it ended up being not the right thing for us to do," Clooney added. Though the pair never did get the chance to share the screen prior to Newman's death in 2008, Clooney has an abundance of memories with the late actor.
"We had a very funny relationship, late in life for him," Clooney said."I directed a movie that just completely bombed called. [Newman] was still racing at the time, and raced a car, and crashed it. So, he took a photo ofand superimposed it on the crashed car, and said, 'I was driving your car in the race.'"
