Clooney revealed this interesting tidbit (among others) in his Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on social site reddit.com.

"Mr. Clooney - What is the best prank that a costar/crew has played on you on set?" one fan asked.

Clooney replied, "It was Brad, we were shooting Ocean's 12 in my hometown in Lake Como and he had a flier sent around saying George only wants to be called by his character’s name Danny Ocean, don't look him in the eyes, and it got into the local paper.

"As you know, jokes don’t translate at all, and they called me il divo, and said that I was treating the crew like shit. When it got into the paper I came downstairs and Brad had the paper in his hand, and I said 'You’re mine from here on out.'

"Brad just said, 'Please don't harm my children.' Yeah, he’s done some pretty rotten things."

And that, folks, is how you prank George Clooney. (For the record, the pair are long time friends and supposedly hang out together at least once a year at Clooney's villa on Lake Como.)

Check out the best of the rest of the AMA below.

Q: Have you hung out with Leonardo DiCaprio? I heard a story about how you kicked his a** at basketball.

A: It's true. That was a fun day. It's always fun when you play people younger than you and win. We're playing a bunch of six year olds tomorrow.

Q: What is a hobby of yours that most people don't know about?

A: I'm a cobbler, I like to make shoes."

Q: From Dusk Til Dawn is one of my favourite movies of yours. How did you end up involved with Tarantino and Rodriguez?

A: Quentin directed an episode of ER and Rob and he were working on this project at the time and Quentin came over and said ‘You wanna come in and meet on this project?’ Yeah, are you kidding? I’d get to work with Juliette Lewis and Harvey Keitel and Rob and Salma and Quentin. I was playing a paediatrician on a hospital show and all of a sudden I get to murder people? I thought that was pretty great. I got to spend 8 weeks or so in the Titty Twister, what was the downside?'''

Q: What's the one movie role you're most embarrassed / ashamed about, that you don't mind sharing? Surely the coolest man on earth has something to share?

A: Well I wasn’t thrilled with the nipples on the batsuit. You know that’s not something you really think about when you’re putting it on. You figure all batsuits have nipples and then you realize yours was really the first. Batman was just constantly cold I guess. But I have plenty of other things that I’m really obviously embarrassed about too. Oftentimes it’ll be stumbling out of a bar drunk or something dumb like that but as you get older a major goal in life is try to do less and less embarrassing things. You know, try not to face plant publicly as often as possible.'''

Q: Could you tell us a little more about the full objective of [Satellite Sentinel], and what you've concretely achieved so far with them? (Ed's note: this is Clooney's self-funded project of keeping a satellite over Sudan to help document the crimes against humanity occurring in the country.)

A: I was putting time in the Sudan, with all the conflict in Sudan, and now as they work through trying to make the newest country in the world work, I became very involved with John Pendergast. We were sitting in the desert on a satellite phone and someone was talking about what to wear to the Oscars, and I was sitting among people dying in the desert. It made me wonder how come you can google earth my home but not set up satellites to monitor what is happening here? And John said let’s make it happen. Basically we fund ourselves and we are able to track the true movements and see a lot of the atrocities in real time. We will have images up in a few days, in the hope to try to slow down or make it prohibitive. We’ll give them to the Hague and the images will be used against them. We’ve already given tons of actual atrocities, true movements, bombs being dropped on villages but they would claim it was tribal infighting when of course no tribe has these weapons.'''
