GEORGE CLOONEY ON RETURNING TO COMEDY Speaking to Deadline in January, Clooney described Ticket to Paradise as something special adding that he has not done a romantic comedy film since One Fine Day in 1996.

I've done some sort of snarky one, you know and in this one, Julia and I just get to be mean to each other in the funniest way and the minute I read it, I called Julia and I said: Did you get this?' and she said: Yeah' and I said: Are you going to do it?' and she goes: Are you going to do it?' and I said, Yeah, if you do it'.

So it was just one of one of those lucky things, the 61-year-old actor said.

The film is set to be released on 21 October.

TICKET TO PARADISE' SET EXPERIENCE IN AUSTRALIA Ticket to Paradise was shot in Australia and George Clooney said the set was protected by very severe rules but the shoot was quickly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Omicron hit and it was just so contagious that it just spread like wildfire there. Suddenly we lost cast and crew members and it just got to be everyone was going down with it losing like 15 people a day and it just got to be impossible to work, he explained.

Clooney said the COVID-19 shut down would not affect the film's 21 October release date.
