George Clooney revealed that he still hasn’t gotten over the day when the director of “The Godfather” thought he was drunk during a screen test for the 1992 horror film “Bram Stoker’s Dracula”.

“I gave a terrible audition for — and this will make you laugh — Francis Ford Coppola,” George Clooney told Entertainment Weekly.
“I thought I had done really well. I called my agent and asked, ‘How did it go?’ And they said they’d just heard back from Francis Ford Coppola, and he thought I was drunk,” the actor revealed.
In the end, he wasn’t drunk, and that upset George Clooney. “I was just very relaxed. I was taking Percodan,” he added.
In a 2016 interview, the actor told the same story, explaining that he was using method acting at the time and actually had to drink to portray an intoxicated character.
George Clooney did not get the role in the gothic drama based on the 1897 novel by Bram Stoker.
