Like his character, Clooney says he has worked around the clock, at times to the detriment of his friendships and family relations. And while he doesn't fire people for a living, Clooney says he had his fair share of layoffs before becoming a Hollywood star.

"I spent a long time unemployed and when you are broke and unemployed, when you finally start working you don't wanna stop," Clooney said. "Sometimes when you do that you'll end up missing your family, your friends, people that you care about."(Photo: AFP)

The movie received warm applause at a press screening at the festival, where it is running for Best-Picture award. It is director Reitman's follow-up to Juno, which won in Rome in 2007 and went on to become a Best Picture nominee at the Oscars.(Photo: AFP)
