TOBACCOVILLE, N.C. (AP) - A group of kids on spring break thought setting up a lemonade stand near George Clooney's movie set might be a good business move. They were right.
The star paid $20 for his lemonade, which 10-year-old Carter, six-year-old Chandler and five-year-old Chase Fontaine were selling for 25 cents.
Clooney made his way over to the lemonade stand Wednesday afternoon after shooting scenes for "Leatherheads," a movie about the early days of professional football that he is directing and acting in.
The boys' mother, Courtney Fontaine, offered Clooney the lemonade for free. He had posed for pictures with her and some other women.
But Clooney insisted on paying, sending someone over with a $20 bill. Chandler enjoyed telling people afterward that Clooney's representative didn't want any change.
Before long, Carter had made another sign that read, "George Clooney was here!" and planted it at the road.
The movie, which is being filmed mostly in North and South Carolina, also stars John Krasinski and Renee Zellweger. It has a December release date.
Big F-ing deal i do the same damn thing here all summer long with the kids that has this entrepreneurship,and by telling them that they could achieve what they set there minds too.and i don't have a F-ing agent Douche Bag saying nothing.
I say Flox this LIb and the tiny horse he came on.What is he looking for cheap publicity???

Actually I'd say he was just being a nice guy. I'd be happy to get a $20 for a $0.25 drink! Besides, most celebrities would have taken it for free.

@Kosh your right, must be a crazy lib - no capitalist would refuse the change  Meh he was just being nice person, he knows he has millions of bucks and this kid has shit. That 20 bucks will probably buy a toy car he's been wanting so what's the big deal?? |

And you don't consider that nice? I'm sure he knew the $20 would mean more to them than it did him. So why not do something nice & give it to them.

The kid probably will frame the $20 bill and keep it and a photo as a reminder that George Clooney was nice enough to do that for him. If I were his mom I would do that. Of course I would've done it for the $2 Kosh left too! An act of kindness goes far!

LOL Yup, most of us would have only given $2.00! But no need to frame the $20. Mom will be framing the pics he posed for with her & her friends! |

With this story being made public, the photo and $20 bill could be worth a lot on ebay? Some people will buy anything if it is on ebay...
