George Clooney threatens to 'murder' Brad Pitt

Actor George Clooney has reportedly threatened to 'murder' his Ocean's 13 co-star, Brad Pitt - if he steals the limelight in their new film, 'Burn After Reading'. The pair have acted together before, most notably in the Ocean's movies - but Clooney is worried his performance will be overshadowed by that of Angelina Jolie's other half, Brad Pitt.

Clooney said: "I'm working with him right now on this Coen brothers movie, which kills me because he's going to steal the movie and I'm going to murder him." But Clooney insists it's not just Pitt who he worries about - adding he'd love to "kick Matt Damon's ass." He explains, "It's a weird thing, but you try not to compete in art. It always seems kind of strange. I could never do the things that he does, ever. I do have some competition with Matt Damon - I'd like to kick his ass," Clooney smiled.

Meanwhile,  Brad Pitt recently scooped the top gong at the Venice Film Festival for his role in movie 'The Assassination Of Jesse James.'
