George Clooney in hospital with pancreatitis

Four days before the start of shooting his new movie, George Clooney was rushed to the hospital.

After the tests he was diagnosed with pancreatitis, which could be fatal to his health, as he had to be hospitalized for several days.

“It took me a few days to recover and as a director it is not easy because you need energy,” the actor told the Daily Mirror.

George Clooney has lost 12 kilos to play a survivor of a global catastrophe in the film “Midnight Sky,” which is expected to premiere on Netflix on December 23.

“I think I was trying really hard to lose weight quickly and I probably didn’t take care of myself,” said the 59-year-old actor.

The film follows a lone Arctic scientist after a global catastrophe as he struggles to contact a crew of astronauts to warn them not to return to Earth.
