Actor George Clooney’s latest interview with GQ surprised people on social media. In the interview the actor revealed that after the massive success of his film Gravity in 2013  he received a percentage of the profits. To thank his friends and repay them for all the help and support they have given him since so many years, Clooney gifted 14 of his close friends with $1 million each. In the interview Clooney said, “I thought, what I do have are these guys who have all over a period of 35 years, helped me in one way or another. I slept on their couches when I was broke. They loaned me money when I was broke. They helped me when I needed help over the years. And I have helped them over the years. I thought, you know, without them I don’t have any of this. And we are all really close. How do you repay people like that? And I thought, Oh, well How about a million bucks? I just thought if I get hit by a bus, they’re all in the will. So why am I waiting to get hit by a bus?”
