George Clooney used the White House and Brad Pitt to prank numerous actors

George Clooney and Julia Roberts swung by Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Thursday, to promote their new film Ticket to Paradise, but they mostly talked about pranks Clooney has pulled on celebrities, like when he sent Meryl Streep a fake letter from Brad Pitt.

“I sent her a letter years ago with a bunch of cds that were a dialect coach,” Clooney recalled. “And I sent it from Brad, a bunch of cds to Meryl Streep. I said, ‘This guy helped me with my accent in Troy, I thought maybe he could help you.’ Meryl said she avoided Brad for like five years!”

Clooney revealed his diabolical comedy has also stretched into politics, ever since he got a hold of Bill Clinton’s old White House stationary.

“The White House stationery of Bill Clinton, Bill Clinton's actual stationery,” Clooney explained. “And I send actors all the time letters from Bill Clinton about how much he loved their movie. Which I guarantee they're hanging up in their homes. So if anyone's watching, take the picture down, take it down.”

While everyone in the audience thought the pranks were hilarious, the people who received Clooney’s fake letters probably weren’t laughing.
