Acclaimed film and television actor George Clooney previewed his upcoming Broadway debut in "Good Night, and Good Luck" on Thursday and admitted that he feels nervous to step on the stage.
His latest appearance came as rumors about him and Amal Clooney potentially heading towards a divorce have been circulating.
The rumors were fueled by their busy schedules and the physical distance between them due to professional commitments.
Clooney, a two-time Oscar winner, said he has not done a live theater show since 1986.
"I haven't done a play in 40 years ... so it's terrifying," the actor told reporters in New York. "Yes, George Clooney gets nervous."
Clooney is the co-writer and star of "Good Night, and Good Luck," a play adapted from his 2005 film of the same name about broadcast news legend Edward R. Murrow and his work during the witch hunts of Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.
"The fun part about this is we get to do a play about a subject matter that's very close to our hearts ... which is telling the truth," Clooney said.
"Good Night, and Good Luck" runs on Broadway from March 12 to June 8.
Amal Clooney, a noted human rights lawyer, has been based in Europe, particularly France, with their twins. This geographical separation has led to speculation about the strain on their relationship.
Although no journalist asked any question about the rumors, George Clooney did not look like a man who harbors fear of being separated from his children and his beloved wife.
