George Clooney And Callum Turner On Their New Film

I have a little experience rowing from one class and gave up because it was a lot harder than I anticipated. Callum, was the preparation for the film what you expected? And George, did you ever attempt to train with the boys?

George: Am I stupid?! Ha, no I did not train with those guys!

Callum: George was on the speedboat alongside us.

G: In a parka with a beer! By the way, if that was an Olympic sport, I would win.

C: You would be a gold medalist. It was excruciating actually. It’s an arduous process, and we’d improve at different rates when the whole thing is about being in complete unison together. It took us about six weeks to work out how to do it. After about four, George came down with Grant and we were –

G: Shocking, just shocking.

C: It was awful.

G: Ray Charles could’ve done it better. We were like “Oh my God, we’re never gonna get this thing done.”
