George Clooney was in Italy to host a charity event for Not On Our Watch, and will stay for the Venice Film Festival.
Clooney, joined by friend and fellow actor Brad Pitt (who was also slated to co-host the event but couldn’t make it), will walk the red carpet at the premiere of the latest Coen brothers film, Burn After Reading, in which they co-star.
Burn After Reading will open the festival.
George Clooney’s Not On Our Watch Gala was on Tuesday night, the Venice Film Festival opens August 27.
