George Clooney to guest star on 'Downton Abbey' special: report
George Clooney will make an appearance in the world of British period drama 'Downton Abbey.'
The Oscar-winning actor will guest star in a 'Downton' related short film special, set to air during the holiday season, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The special will air on U.K. network ITV, as part of an annual televised campaign that raises money for six British charities.
Clooney's role has not yet been revealed, but sources tell British tabloid The Sun that he will be an American guest at a country estate wedding.
The 'Monuments Men' star, 53, will star alongside Hugh Bonneville's Lord Robert Crawley and Michelle Dockery's Lady Mary, according to the Sun source.
'It's amazing it's taken four months for someone to find out,' the insider said. 'This is the biggest moment in Downton history and shows it's now the biggest drama in the world.'
Clooney, who is set to tie the knot with fiancée Amal Alamuddin in Venice this month, has apparently been a longtime fan of 'Downton Abbey,' and became friends with Bonneville when they worked on 'Monuments Men' together.
