George Clooney’s Reputation Precedes Him
Over the years,George Clooneyhas gained quite a reputation as a prankster. From Brad Pitt to Matt Damon, no one is safe from the wrath of the star when they are working on the same project. Although this has always been all fun in games for everyone involved, it would seem that one of his co-stars was not on board the train.
In 2013, Clooney starred alongsideSandra BullockinGravity, a sci-fi film set in space. It is safe to say that the shoot was quite challenging for the film, with quite a lot of floating around and complicated stunts. With this in mind, Bullock was not interested in getting pranked alongside it.
This film was so hard. Pranks had no place. There was never down time. How are you going to prank someone who’s hanging from a scaffolding with 12 wires, rigged up all day, and so we had a truce at the very get-go because that just wasn’t the appropriate place to prank someone.

Sandra Bullock Had A Good Reason For The Ban
Although some might think that Sandra Bullock set up this rule for all her projects with George Clooney, this wasn’t actually the case. In the interview, the actress mentioned that it was not the pranks that made her uncomfortable, but the setting of the film itself.
Considering just how much stuntwork and energy was put into the film, it is safe to assume that shoot days were extremely tiring and tedious for all cast members. With this in mind, the actress believed that pranking would not be the best thing to add to the equation.
