Clooney Praises Daring Louvre Heist, Teases New Ocean's Film

In a recent interview, acclaimed actor George Clooney, who is famous for portraying the character of expert thief Danny Ocean in the Ocean's franchise, shared his thoughts on the high-profile Louvre jewelry heist that took place last month in Paris.

Clooney, speaking at the premiere of his latest film on October 23rd, 2025, stated that he was impressed by the thieves' apparent success in pulling off the daring $100 million heist from the world-famous art museum. "I wonder if they're going to catch these guys," Clooney said, adding, "I mean, they seem to have done a pretty good job of getting away with it."

The actor, who is set to reprise his Ocean's role alongside co-stars Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and Don Cheadle, revealed that the new project is currently in the works and is expected to begin filming in 2026. When asked if the next Ocean's movie would mirror the real-life Louvre heist, Clooney jokingly responded, "We should rob the Louvre. But somebody's already done it, man, I don't know."

Clooney's comments suggest that the daring Louvre heist may serve as an inspiration for the upcoming Ocean's film, as the actor's character and his team of skilled thieves are known for pulling off elaborate and high-stakes robberies.
