Throughout its 15-season run, ER saw many people come through the doors of Cook County General Hospital — many famous faces before they were even famous. This includes Werewolves Within star Milana Vayntrub. While appearing on , she revealed she was seven when she appeared on a Season 1 episode of ER and recalled what it was like working alongside Clooney.

“George Clooney was on it. The thing is, even at that time, I knew he was attractive,” Vayntrub confessed. “When you’re a kid, you don’t know what it is that makes someone attractive, you just know you need them in your house and like, a part of your family. And so I kept inviting him over for dinner, and I was like, ‘My mom will cook for us.’ And my mom was like, ‘Shut up!’ Because obviously my mother was attracted to him, too. So, there was already a love triangle. But I guess I just stuck with it, hoping that I’d never run into him again.”
While one would think it’d be a bit annoying to always be invited over by a little kid, Clooney apparently took it in stride. Vayntrub shared he “was absolutely the best.” She continued, “He was like, ‘Yeah, kiddo.’ He called me ‘kiddo.’ And here’s the thing. He wasn’t famous yet. ER hadn’t come out. He just had the aura. “
