Julia Roberts and George Clooney recently had a conversation with Today where the duo talked about their roles in the rom-com Ticket to Paradise and how they found the kissing scene awkward because of their long-standing friendship. The actors couldn't help but joke about the scene. "It's kinda ridiculous," Roberts said, answering Hoda Kotb's question of if they laughed during the act. "It is like kissing your best friend." To which Clooney responded that he was named the sexiest man alive twice! “Wait! Then you go, 'Wait, my best friend is George Clooney, ’” Roberts replied.

"It's when my wife and kids come by to visit," Clooney said, smiling. Roberts went in on the joke and played along, saying, "I mean, it was the first day they came to visit. It's like, 'Papa, oh, Auntie Juju.' It's, like ,'Get 'em out, get 'em out!'" "It's really bad," Clooney said, keeping up with what he started. "'What are you doing, Papa? What is that?'" The jolly duo later closed the joke and said Clooney's kids were actually not present during the kissing scene. "No, they weren't around," Clooney revealed, laughing.
