Clooney's love of pranks date back to 'Roseanne'

New York, Jan 17 : George Clooney's notorious practical joking might be new to his now co-stars but it dates back to the days when he was on TV show 'Roseanne'.

Laurie Metcalf, who played Roseanne's sister, Jackie, told The Post's Barbara Hoffman about one of Clooney's pranks.

"He once found some art in a Dumpster, and told his friend Richard Kind that he'd commissioned a painting for him from this up-and-coming artist," the New York Post quoted Metcalf, as saying.

"Then George presented him with this painting . . . I think Richard still thinks it's from some classically trained artist," Metcalfe added.

Earlier, Clooney revealed that once he celebrated Christmas in a cheeky way - by stealing his neighbour's prized Christmas tree.
