Hollywood superstar George Clooney has revealed he was held at gunpoint in Darfur while making a documentary in western Sudan in 2007.
The 52-year-old actor threw light on some of the experiences of his life and his upcoming film 'The Monuments Men' in a new interview with Variety magazine.
"We got stopped in the middle of nowhere, where we shouldn't have been. A little 10-year-old kid came over with a Kalashnikov assault rifle to my head, basically wanted to get us out of the truck," Clooney said.
Following the terrifying encounter, the actor co-founded the humanitarian aid organisation Not On Our Watch with a few of his friends, including Matt Damon, Brad Pitt and Don Cheadle, six years ago.
The actor revealed that the actors of 'The Monuments Men' Damon, Cate Blanchett, John Goodman, Hugh Bonneville, and Jean Dujardin were paid very less of what they usually make in a movie.
"If you pay everybody a full boatload, it's a USD 150 million film. You just can't do it. Everybody worked for super cheap, like crazy cheap," he said.
