George Clooney is a famous actor who comes from a family of storytellers, and the characters in his family must have helped George develop his character acting skills- because they sound like characters straight out of a Wes Anderson movie.
Take his kooky uncle Chick and equally nutty uncle George for instance- those two characters loved to swap war stories and scare young George and his sister Adelia by deconstructing uncle Chick.
George talked candidly about his wacky uncles in a 2011 interview that was turned into an animated short by Blank On Blank, watch and see where Clooney learned to play kooky characters.
