George Clooney<\/a>‘s tipping his cap to the robbers who shook down the Louvre in Paris … showing respect from one professional thief to another.<\/p>\n

The actor spoke to Variety at AFI Fest earlier this week … and, the he talked about the thieves who pulled a fast one on the iconic French museum — with Clooney even expressing a joking pride.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Louvre-getty-1\"<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Clooney said, “If you\u2019re a professional thief like I am, I was very proud of those guys.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s all one big gag — Clooney also calls the theft “terrible” while expressing shock at the robbers’ brazen actions — but, it certainly conjured up questions about the upcoming “Ocean’s 14.”<\/p>\n

George, Julia Roberts<\/a>, Brad Pitt<\/a>, Matt Damon<\/a> and the whole crew are getting back together for another daring onscreen heist — and George also said \u00a0they should consider robbing the Louvre since everyone else seems to be doing it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Louvre-sub-getty-2\"<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

ICYMI … the Louvre closed after a major heist last weekend that led to thieves walking away<\/a> with 9 pieces from the jewelry collection of Napoleon and Empress Eug\u00e9nie — a loot of inestimable value. Eug\u00e9nie’s crown was found broken outside the museum.<\/p>\n

Video later came out showing a robber sawing through<\/a> a glass case in the museum, and the museum’s director — Laurence des Cars — offered to resign in the aftermath … though the offer was ultimately rejected.<\/p>\n

Anyhoo … sounds like George has gotten the creative juices flowing for “Ocean’s 14” thanks to some real-life thieves!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"George Clooney Jokes He’s ‘Proud’ of Louvre Thieves … Should Heist Be in ‘Ocean’s 14’???
