George Clooney Is 'Very Proud' of the Louvre Jewelry Thieves

""They seem to have done a pretty good job of getting away with it," he told on the red carpet. He added that he had watched "the film" of the thieves' seven-minute robbery and escape, joking that he should've been in the bucket lift. The heist was "cool," he added, before correcting himself and making an unconvincing face: "I mean, it's terrible.""

""Ultimately, as a self-described "professional thief," Clooney said he "was very proud of those guys." He acknowledged the comparisons of the theft to the plot of the Ocean's franchise as "pretty funny." "It really was like it, in the middle of broad daylight," he remarked. "Crazy. With all the tourists there, you know?" Apparently, we won't have to wait too long to see if Danny Ocean can one-up real-life robbers.""
