Paris, FranceSun Oct 26 2025
George Clooney has a unique sense of humor. He recently made headlines for his comments about the Louvre heist in Paris. Speaking at AFI Fest, Clooney joked that he was "proud" of the thieves. He said, "If you’re a professional thief like I am, I was very proud of those guys. " This was all in good fun, of course. Clooney also called the theft "terrible" and expressed shock at the audacity of the robbers.
The Louvre heist was a big deal. Thieves made off with nine pieces from the jewelry collection of Napoleon and Empress Eugénie. The value of these items is impossible to estimate. Video footage later showed a robber sawing through a glass case. The museum's director, Laurence des Cars, even offered to resign. But her offer was turned down.
Clooney's comments have sparked speculation about the upcoming "Ocean's 14. " He joked that the crew should consider robbing the Louvre since it seems to be a popular target. This is all part of the fun and excitement around the new movie.
The Louvre heist is a reminder of the importance of security in museums. It's also a testament to the bravery of the thieves. But it's important to remember that theft is never okay. Clooney's comments were made in jest, but they highlight the seriousness of the situation.
