George Clooney and Renee Zellweger!!!

Unread post by lutherjw »

Before everyone goes crazy, let me start with a bit of backstory. :lol: Last summer, George Clooney and Renee Zellweger filmed a movie called 'Leatherheads' in Salisbury, NC, which is about five minutes away from my house. I attempted to get some autographs during filming, but the security guards would not let me anywhere near the set. :(

Now that the movie is finished and is about to release, Universal set up a "Whistle Stop Express" tour to promote the film, with George and Renee stopping at four meaningful cities to the film. One of the stops happened to be Salisbury! I didn't know what to expect, especially as the local paper was instructing fans on where to stand to be able to "catch a glimpse" of the stars. They were supposed to ride a train into the depot, then get off and go inside for a press conference. This was supposed to occur at 11 AM today.

Obviously, I decided to go and try my chances. When we (my mom and I) arrived at 9:00 AM, only a handful of people were there, so I grabbed a spot in the front row. The promoters were giving out posters, T-shirts, and hats to people that had arrived early, so I got all three. By 11, the crowd had grew to about 500 people packed like sardines. 500 may not seem like a lot, but for our little town it is. :lol:

To my surprise, George and Renee spent about an hour signing autographs for everyone in the crowd! They were both extremely nice and friendly, and I got a poster signed, while my mom got a poster and two pictures signed.

I took a ton of pictures, some of which are below... You'll have to check out the album for some more and high-res versions of these shots.

Overall, it was a great experience that I won't soon forget! {thumb2}
