I want to be friends with George Clooney. I mean, I always have wanted to be his friend because, who wouldn’t? But now I REALLY want to be his friend if he’s handing out $1 million in cash to his best bros.

Which is exactly what his bestest bro Rande Gerber (aka Cindy Crawford’s husband and Clooney’s long-time business partner) says Clooney did back in 2013.

Speaking on an episode of MSNBC’s Headliners, Gerber shared this ridiculous story about Clooney, reports E! News…

As Gerber recalled, “There’s a group of guys that we call ‘The Boys.’ George had called me and ‘The Boys’ and said, ‘Hey, mark September 27, 2013 on your calendar. Everyone’s going to come to my house for dinner.” When George’s dinner guests arrived they found black suitcases at each of their spots around a table, and the Suburbicon director shared a special message to the men who helped him early in his career. Rande (who is married to Cindy Crawford and is a part-owner of Clooney’s Casamigos Tequila company) explained, “George begins to say, ‘Listen, I want you guys to know how much you’ve meant to me and how much you mean to me in my life. I came to L.A., I slept on your couch. I’m so fortunate in my life to have all of you and I couldn’t be where I am today without all of you.'” “‘So,'” Rande said Clooney shared, “‘it was really important to me that while we’re still all here together, that I give back. So I want you all to open your suitcases.'”

Drumroll, please…

Inside was $1 million in $20 bills.
