However, the actor was forced to withdraw from a press junket for the movie as well as skipping an intimate dinner with the movie’s cast and crew yesterday evening.
Sources close to the star told The Hollywood Reporter that he became unwell during the afternoon which prompted his withdrawal from the event.
He was seen boarding a boat outside the Hotel Excelsior around 4pm where he was advised to rest amid his condition.
The Sun has contacted a representative for George Clooney for comment.
He had been spotted with his wife Amal Clooney earlier in the day in which he showed no signs of discomfort.
The married couple appeared relaxed as they strolled around the Italian city.
George appears opposite Adam Sandler in the new movie, Jay Kelly.
Gushing about his co-star previously, George said of Adam: “I kept telling the cast, ‘Don’t call him Sand Man. Don’t talk to him like he’s just some goofy comedian. He’s actually a really beautiful, wonderful actor’.
“Because of what his pay check is, which is doing big goofy comedies, when he does these other, beautiful, Uncut Gems kinds of movies, it reminds people of that.
“He’s not just a good comedian.”
