George Clooney is refusing to fly as a passenger with close friend Brad Pitt - because he doesn't trust his piloting skills.
Pitt qualified as a pilot earlier this year but so far Clooney has spurned his invitations to take him up in the sky.
The 'Syriana' actor was put off being a Pitt passenger after watching his 'Ocean's Thirteen' co-star try and land his plane.
Clooney said: "I saw Brad landing his plane, he was bouncing all over the runway. There's no way I want to experience that."
It seems Clooney is getting more wary as he gets older.
The 45-year-old star recently confessed he is scared of cell phones.
'The Good German' actor is paranoid that new technology, such as camera-phones, can document his every move and possibly ruin his career.
He said: "It's not that actors have all gone crazy, it's that there are just so many different sources now.
"You know, everybody's got a camera on their phone now so, all the time, any mistake that anybody makes, you're going to have it on film. And boy, there have already been some dumb mistakes."
