George Clooney surveys Greer for movie(Greer is less than 40 miles from me, but I doubt I will make the effort to see him. He's not my type and I don't like his politics, but I do agree that he is a
very good looking guy.)
GREER, S.C.- There was excitement in the streets as Hollywood star George Clooney made his way through downtown Greer.
"We were all standing outside and he said hello to everybody. Several women grabbed him and hugged him and I went to take a picture of him on my phone," said Harold Baker, an excited business owner.
Several photos were taken during his visit. Locals say he stopped into several stores to scout out scenes for is romantic comedy 'Leatherheads.'
"He's going to be doing some of it here. He's talking about taking part of our store and re-dressing it into vintage wear and giving it a 1920's look," said one retailer.
A men's clothing store has been in Bernard's family since 1916. Though the shop is historic he hopes the attention of George Clooney will make it famous.
"Women about drove us crazy, wanting to know when he's coming and what time he'll be here," said Bernard.
"We had a lead he was at the top of the street and there he was," exclaimed one fan.
When FOX Carolina asked some of the fans in town what they though of meeting George Clooney, they responded by saying, "he looks better in person."
