It was no laughing matter for funnyman Bill Murray and A-list movie star George Clooney when they took a trip to the zone devastated by the earthquake in Italy. The two were in town for the Group of Eight summit in L'Aquila to lend their support to reconstruction efforts in the wake of the natural disaster that took place three months ago.
Clooney, who owns a home in Italy and is reportedly planning to buy another as well as begin filming a movie there, told press, "It's surprising to see a city that has sustained so much damage and I think (the film) is the best way to lend a hand and boost the economy."
George also took the opportunity to raise awareness about another cause near and dear to his heart, "It's important that the world leaders gathered here do more for Africa, because so far they haven't always done what they should have done." Well, just look at that little multi-tasking do-gooder.
