George Clooney and John Krasinski: Ask 'Leatherheads' Stars a Question
Filed under: Comedy, Fandom, Interviews, George Clooney, Unscripted
Well, apparently there is a movie god, because Clooney and Krasinski are starring in a movie together -- a romantic comedy called Leatherheads -- and I'm all over this sucker like mud on a linebacker. Seriously, the only way this could top my fantasy-boyfriend-meter would be if Nathan Fillion were starring in it, too. But, ahem, to be professional for a moment: Clooney directed and stars in Leatherheads as Dodge Connelly (great name), a football player in the 1920s, which is just before professional football has become an actual organized sport. His team loses its sponsor and the league is on the verge of collapse until he hires a ringer: college star and WWI hero Carter Rutherford, who may just be too good to be true. Renée Zellweger co-stars as a reporter who falls for them both; and can you blame her?
Well, tie me down and call me Nelly, 'cause we've snagged Clooney and Krasinski for a Leatherheads Unscripted, in which they'll interview each other using your questions. Trust me, if I could stalk... um, attend the taping I would, but you can do the next best thing, and that's ask them whatever you want in the comments section below. Submit any questions by this Friday, March 14, and then check back here on Monday, March 31, to see if yours made the cut. Oh, and be sure to include your first name and the city and state where you live -- but please, no "John, will you marry me?" questions. I mean c'mon, show a little professionalism.

19. John, what's it like being both a movie and TV star? What's in store for Jim and Pam once "The Office" returns? Oh, and what's this rumor I hear about Karen coming back?Is she going to be getting revenge after what Jim, Michael and Dwight did?
Thanks!

Hi John. Do you prefer the style of the 1920s, sophisticated and forever classy. Or the more modern style, laid back and easy?
