Clooney 'gets married' in Venice

George Clooney has finally tied the knot, after accepting a joke marriage proposal at the Venice Film Festival.

George Clooney has finally tied the knot, after accepting a joke marriage proposal at the Venice Film Festival.

The actor was answering questions about his new film with Catherine Zeta Jones, Intolerable Cruelty, when an Italian TV journalist sporting a white veil asked him to marry her.

When Clooney replied: "All right, come here," the woman approached him with a cameraman doubling as a priest - who then produced two rings.

"Finally, finally married!" Clooney said, although he added: "My fear is that he really is a priest."

Clooney kissed the journalist, laughed and had a sip of celebratory wine before carrying on with the press conference.

Intolerable Cruelty, the Coen brothers' latest film, stars Clooney as a divorce lawyer and Zeta Jones a serial divorcee. It is not in competition at the Venice festival.
