George's Oceans 11 co-star and friend Matt Damon has also opened up about the moment he found out about the exciting news. "I was working with him last fall and he pulled me aside on set and I mean, I almost started crying," he told Entertainment Tonight. "I was so happy for him. And I was like, ‘How far along is she?’ And he goes, 'Eight weeks.'" The star joked that he gave George a hard time about telling him the news so early, saying: "'Are you out of your mind?! Don't tell anybody else! Don't tell anybody else! Don’t you know the 12-week rule?' Like of course he doesn't. I was like, 'Just shut up, man.' And then four weeks later, I'm like, 'We're good right?' to which George said, "We're good.'"
