RENEE ZELLWEGER - ZELLWEGER SCOLDED BY CLOONEY ON SET

ZELLWEGER SCOLDED BY CLOONEY ON SET

Actress RENEE ZELLWEGER has branded her co-star GEORGE CLOONEY a "spoil sport" - because he would never let her fool around on set. The pair star together in Leatherheads, a romantic comedy set in the world of 1920s football, but Zellweger was constantly told off by Clooney - who also directs the movie - for playing with the replica pigskin balls. But the 38-year-old insists she "couldn't help" herself when it came to throwing the balls in her period costume. Zellweger tells Parade magazine, "I had on my hat with the feather, and my little high heeled buckled shoes and gloves while I was throwing the pigskin, but I couldn't help myself. "When I gave it a toss, the director, that would be Mr. Clooney, scolded me and said, 'You put that thing down. What am I going to do with you when you miss and take one on the nose and we've got a close up? Put that ball down.' I thought he was a spoil sport."
