Clooney ponders Pitt’s lifestyle

George Clooney and Brad Pitt: Bachelor and family man.

Inevitably, a news conference Wednesday at the opening of the Venice Film Festival to promote their new Coen brothers film, “Burn After Reading,” turned to the birth of Pitt’s twins with partner Angelina Jolie and whether his good friend would ever settle down.

Clooney, 47, put on a look of mock bemusement.

“I am so surprised to hear that question. That is honestly the first time I have been asked that,” Clooney said. “I am getting married and having a child today.”
