George Clooney is a true prankster and many Hollywood stars have fallen for his practical jokes. But he didn’t fool Tina Fey.

Tina and her Golden Globes co-host Amy Poehler poked fun at many stars at this year’s ceremony and labeled Matt Damon as “a garbage man”.

Clooney wanted to use this to tease Fey, but she saw right through him.

He explained: “I got stationery made up that says Matt Damon, so it’s Matt Damon’s stationery. So I sent Tina a note saying, ‘Look, I know it sounds hypocritical because I laughed at the George and Leo jokes, because they’re kinda known for that, but you called me a garbage man and it just seems like an easy joke and I don’t want an apology, but my kid calls me a garbage man now…

“And then Tina sent Matt, who knows nothing about this, she sends him two giant baskets of fruit with letter number one, and letter number two.”

Damon continues, “I’m going, ‘What is this?’ so I open letter number one and it’s this apology from Tina and Amy…

“Letter number two says, ‘Dear Matt, if your note is part of some George Clooney prank, as I very strongly suspect it is, you A-List amateurs are gonna have to step it the f**k up… We are not some easily confused starlets you’re dealing with here, we’re grown a** professional comediennes. Please accept this fruit as a token of our sincerity. Best wishes, Elizabeth Tina Fey, Amy ‘Boston’ Poehler.'”
