And then we’d bring her down a cup of coffee.

“We became instant friends,” Roberts said of meeting Clooney for the first time.

I have no reason to not like them.
I just don’t like them and I will never change my mind.’
This is a good one,'” she added.
“I truly just love them so much.
Their friendship is something that is so sweet.
They love making each other laugh and it’s the best thing to be around.”
Of course, Roberts couldn’t give a speech honoring her pal without making a few jokes first.
However, after some laughs, Roberts paid a sweet tribute to her friend, perE!
“I consider George a friend.
We have worked together in many capacities.
We have acted together a few times.
He’s been my producer and my director, all of which he is immeasurably gifted at.
In return, Clooney later gushed over Roberts.
“It has been such a pleasure to watch the woman you have become,” he said.
“… just an amazing mother, an amazing wife, and a great, great friend.
It’s really an honor to have her here.”
