In what just might be the most ridiculous thing he’s done since wearing a Batsuit with nipples, George Clooney has just joined the cast of “Downton Abbey.”
Well, kind of.
The Oscar-winning actor will participate in a “Downton Abbey” special as part of U.K. network ITV’s Text Santa campaign, a Christmas charity that raises awareness for a variety of charities, including Marie Curie Cancer Care and Alzheimer’s Society. Details on the “Downton Abbey” charity film are scarce, but Us Weekly reports that Clooney will participate in “a sketch scene” for the special.
