George Clooney invites Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie round to avoid media attention

Hollywood star George Clooney invites Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and their kids round to avoid media attention.

George gets pal Brad and his family round to his villa in Laglio, Italy, if he wants to avoid cameras.

The 49-year-old, who is currently dating Italian TV presenter Elisabetta Canalis, told British newspaper The Sun: "My life over there takes me away from the circus aspects of being a celebrity and that's a pleasant change for me."

Although he admits Laglio is turning more touristy these days but it doesn't bother him.

The American star said: "I don't really worry about that though.

"Whenever I want, I can always stage a diversion and invite Brad and Angie and their 15 children to come over."

And the actor thinks he has got to where he is today from luck.

He said: "The problem with famous people in general is that they actually think they are geniuses.

"You get famous and you think, yes, of course I should be famous and I’ve earned it all – you haven't though - you got lucky, I got lucky."
