Clooney’s Eyes
When Elliott worked with George Clooney in Up In The Air, he was asked about the experience. All he said was, “The one thing I remember of that was looking at [George] Clooney’s eyes. Clooney’s got a set of shark eyes, man. I mean, they’re deep and they’re dark. And it kind of disarmed me.”
Meeting John Wayne
Elliot admitted that he is a big fan of John Wayne. In fact, his acting career is greatly influenced by the said actor. Sam Elliot said that he even asked the older actor for an autograph in the set of the movie, The Shootist.
