George Clooney would hate to be Brad Pitt.

The actor couldn't cope with the "nightmare fuss" surrounding his 'Ocean's Thirteen' co-star's relationship with Angelina Jolie.

Clooney said: "The fuss surrounding me is fairly controllable. I couldn't put up with, for a second, what Brad Pitt puts up with. When he and Angelina are together, it's crazy - I don't know how they do it. I've travelled with them and it was a total nightmare."

The 46-year-old star also revealed he has a lot of respect for another 'Ocean's Thirteen' co-star Matt Damon, because he is interested in political issues.

Clooney told Britain's Hello! magazine: "Matt is a great guy. He is one of my closest friends. He is ten years younger than me and I'm impressed to see he is much more concerned politically and socially than I was at his age.

"He also has a great sense of humour. We can spend entire evenings together saving the world and laughing our heads off.

"The other day he sent me a very serious article about actors who earn more than $20 million a movie. At the end, the writer said Matt was the only person these days you can really build a project around because his films generate millions of dollars. Matt had added his own little message at the end, saying, 'Take that sexy guy!' "
