Clooney jokes about adopting Pitt's kids

George Clooney has joked about adopting Brad Pitt's children while speaking at a press conference to promote his new movie.

When asked about starting a family, Clooney referred to co-star Jason Schwartzman, saying: "Just having Jason here next to me, I feel like a father."

"He just got married, by the way, so I feel like a grandfather in many ways. I'm jumping right into it."
