George Clooney Testifies In Court

Oscar winner George Clooney testified on Friday in Milan at a trial against two men and a woman accused of co-opting his name to promote their fashion line, the not-so-subtle GC Exclusive by George Clooney.

The former Leatherhead is suing the trio for roughly $3.88 million for using his name to promote their line without his knowledge or approval. Under questioning, he was shown documents by the defense of paperwork that seemingly bare his signature, and explained that most were fakes and the ones that resembled his actual signature were actually photocopies of autographs he’s handed out over the years.

At the end of the hearing, Judge Pietro Caccialanza thanked Clooney for his time and said the proceeding, "has lasted as long as a movie." –ANDREW BANKIN
