George Clooney opened the Golden Globes in French on Sunday night, greeting the audience with 'Bonsoir, mes amis' as he took the stage to present Best Picture – Drama. The actor, who was nominated for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for his role in Netflix's 'Jay Kelly', joked about his new country's language, which had recently been mocked by Donald Trump.
Clooney was joined by his 'Ocean's Eleven' co-star Don Cheadle for a playful onstage reunion. Cheadle also showed off his French, wishing Clooney a good evening with 'bonsoir', before teasing him about losing the award to Timothée Chalamet for 'Marty Supreme'.
'Did you win?' Cheadle asked. Clooney replied, 'We're all winners here.' Cheadle retorted, 'Yes, you have. A long time ago.' Clooney responded, 'Not that long ago.' Cheadle then pointed to Chalamet in the audience and asked his age, to which Chalamet replied, '30.'
