George Clooney is used to charming a crowd, but this time it happened inside an Italian courtroom where he testified against three Italians who are accused of fraudulently using his name and image to promote a fashion line.
Looking as dapper as the movie star he is, Clooney caused a scene outside of the Milan courtroom, where fans shouted his name and clamored to get a pic.
The three Italians are charged with fraud, forgery and possession of stolen goods, after the defendants photoshopped pix of George and forged his signature on documents in an attempt to sell their fashion line.
Clooney kept his cool on the stand, even cracking a few jokes, according to the AP. "This is the first time I've ever seen him," Clooney said, when shown a picture of the only defendant in attendance, adding "So I'd like to say hello, nice to meet you."
The case dates back to 2006, when Clooney first realized that someone was doctoring photos of him.
Don't mess with George!
