George Clooney made a name for himself with ER, but before that, he performed low-key foot operations.
During George’s recent appearance on Live With Kelly and Mark, the Jay Kelly star told cohosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos about the job he had before making it big in the industry.
When he was 18, the Ocean’s Eleven star worked as a shoe salesman and had to remove corns from elderly customers’ feet!
George stretched his own doot out as he mimicked the customers, saying, "That's a hammertoe!"
When it came to the women, they suffered from corns. And the actor was there to help.
"We had this thing — people would come in, old ladies would have a corn. A bunion. Corn," the Oscar winner said.
Describing how he went by removing them, he shared, "You had a little plastic corn with a Mr. Potato Head, and you had a stretching shoe that had holes in it. You first sprayed their foot with blue powder on the corn, and then you put it in, and you looked, and then you put the thing and you stretched the corn hole. You stretched the corn."
Ripa asked, "So, you were the original version of cornhole?"
As the audience laughed, the actor smiled and replied, "Yes, I am."
"That's probably not how I want that to be phrased. I know you do. No, it's good for you, good for your show!"
George Clooney's Jay Kelly is streaming on Netflix.
