Sandra Bullock On Meeting George Clooney For First Time: He Played Matchmaker

Sandra Bullock and George
Clooney have been friends for decades – hitting it off from the moment they
first met.

At the β€œOur Brand Is
Crisis” Los Angeles premiere on Monday night, the Oscar-winning beauty
recounted to Access Hollywood how she first met her friend and β€œCrisis” producer.

β€œIt was just pretty
funny… he was drunk,” Sandra told Access guest correspondent Scott Evans
on the red carpet, laughing. β€œI know, shocker – the man owns a tequila
company. Anyhow, he was doing Buddy Hackett impressions at a friend of ours’
house.”

Sandra was with who she
β€œwould have liked to” have had as her
β€œboyfriend at the time,” a friend of George’s – and George became the
perfect wingman.

β€œWhen I came out after I
spent time with George, George went to him and said, β€˜If you don’t marry her, I will,'” she said. β€œGeorge is not gonna
marry anybody except for Amal. He was waiting 30 years to do that.

β€œBut that was sort of
the thing that sort of got him to just hang with me, the boyfriend,” she
added. β€œSo we were together for four years after that, thanks to
George.”
