SPIN's Sarina Bellissimo caught up with George Clooney for an Irish exclusive interview this week.
The full recording will air on Plan B this Saturday from 10am.
But here's a sneak peek to keep you going until then.
Sarina spoke to George about his new movie Midnight Sky, life in lockdown and spending time with his family.
They also talked about his love for Ireland and learning he has loads of relatives here.
The Hollywood megastar even mentioned his good pal Matt Damon.
In case you've forgotten, SPIN bagged a global exclusive interview with Matt while he was in lockdown in Ireland.
George said he spoke to the Contagion actor about his experience in the Dalkey.
To find out what Matt said, make sure to listen to Plan B this weekend for the full interview.
Midnight Sky
Sarina's interview with George comes ahead of the release of his brand new Netflix movie Midnight Sky.
It's a post-apocalyptic tale about a lonely scientist in the Arctic named Augustine (Clooney).
He races to stop Sully (Felicity Jones) and her fellow astronauts from returning home to a mysterious global catastrophe.
Sarina also caught up with George's co-stars Felicity Jones, David Oyelowo, Demian Bichir and Kyle Chandler.
Felicity and David
It turns out Felicity's character in the movie wasn't supposed to be pregnant.
But when Felicity herself learned she was expecting, they wrote it in as part of the storyline.
Sarina asked her how she felt when she had to approach her bosses and tell them she's pregnant.
She responded, "It's a joyous occasion coupled with, oh my God am I going to lose my job?"
"And those two things shouldn't be coming together," the actress insisted.
She said George's reaction to the news was, "an absolute relief."
Felicity said he was, "completely modern with his approach," adding that they just, "embraced what was happening."
Sarina went on to chat about how David's character was supposed to be called Captain Harper, but that changed.
He approached the filmmakers and they agreed to change it to a Nigerian name.
David said it was important to him because the characters were, "representative of earth's last hope."
"As a very proud African [himself]," David wanted to see part of his heritage reflected in the movie.
Kyle and Demian
Sarina asked Kyle why this was a movie he really wanted to be a part of.
"Once I read that script, and you know that it's with George, and the people he's gonna have... you jump with joy and say, 'I would love to be part of this!'"
Sarina asked the actors what the benefits of ageing the characters were.
Their characters in the film were supposed to be younger, but they decided to make them older.
Demian explained, "These guys represent the wisdom you only get with age."
"And the experience that you need especially when everyone depends on each other up there floating, literally in the middle of space, the universe."
"I think it's great and it works very, very nicely and it also tells you that there's life after 70," he laughed.
Tune into Plan B on SPIN this Saturday from 10am to hear Sarina's Irish exclusive interview with George Clooney.
