When it comes to donation, George Clooney is a total giver. The movie hunk initially was asked by a Kentucky museum to donate his helmet from the movie "Leatherheads." Allegedly was in his best giving mood ever, Clooney got the museum even more, the leather headgear and the rest of the football uniforms.
Clooney is a Kentucky native. He stars in comedy-romance "Leatherheads" alongside the likes of Renee Zellweger and John Krasinski. The film, which already hit the theaters last month, was set in the world of 1920s professional football.
Speaking about Clooney's donation, Curator Steve Henry of the Rosemary Clooney House Museum, a museum in Augusta, Kentucky dedicated to the actor's late aunt, songstress and actress Rosemary Clooney, revealed "We were at the premiere of 'Leatherheads' in March and were told the entire football costume, from the cleats and socks to the helmet we had originally asked for, was ours to have for the museum."
Henry went on adding, "This will be a nice addition. In the future we are hoping to accumulate at least one costume from each of his new movies."
Clooney's "Leatherheads" uniform will be placed among his aunt's memorabilia which will be displayed at the Rosemary Clooney House Museum on June 7.
