Brad Pitt and George Clooney Walk Red Carpet for Charity
Brad Pitt and George Clooney appeared on the red carpet Tuesday night to bring awareness to their charity, Not On Our Watch.
The charity, which was launched last year by the stars and some of their Ocean’s Thirteen colleagues, uses their star appeal to bring attention to human rights abuses, but it isn’t so easy to get even two of the founders together because of filming and family demands says executive director Alex Wagner.
“Scheduling is very difficult. Two of them happened to be in Venice at the same time because of the ‘Burn After Reading’ premiere … so there was a brainstorming session,” she said.
Clooney discussed the issues and where the charity puts its money at the fundraising dinner on Venice’s Giudecca island, which was attended by some 200 industry insiders and Italian VIPs, Wagner said.
Not On Our Watch has raised more than $7 million to help victims both of the humanitarian crisis in the Darfur region of Sudan and the cyclone in Myanmar, also known as Burma, according to Wagner.






I know I should be applauding their fundraising efforts here, but I’m having problems concentrating…Clooney AND Pitt in TUXEDOS? It’s almost lethal!
