George Clooney jokes he's "proud" of Louvre thieves as he teased Ocean’s Fourteen.
The actor passed his verdict on the real-life theft, which targeted the Paris museum last week, on Thursday as he attended the Los Angeles premiere of his upcoming Netflix film Jay Kelly.
“I wonder if they’re going to catch these guys,” he told Variety. “They seem to have done a pretty good job of getting away with it. I mean, it’s terrible… but as a professional thief like I am, I was very proud of those guys.”
Clooney, who famously plays Danny Ocean in the Ocean’s franchise, also confirmed to E! News that Ocean’s Fourteen is officially in development, with plans to reunite Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and Don Cheadle. Filming is expected to begin in 2026.
“The script is in great shape,” Clooney added. “We’re just working out schedules now.”
When asked whether the sequel could mirror the real Louvre heist, he joked, “We should rob the Louvre, but someone’s already done it. Maybe we’ll rob Adam Sandler instead. He’s got some crown jewels, I know he does.”
Jay Kelly hits select theaters November 14 and arrives on Netflix December 5.
