One of our most prominent heist-related voices has broken his silence on the shocking theft at the Louvre this past weekend. His review? Good for them. “If you’re a professional thief like I am, I was very proud of those guys,” George Clooney joked to Variety at AFI Fest on Thursday. While in real life, the acclaimed actor hasn’t pulled off any high-stakes capers of his own (at least as far as we know), he’s successfully swindled millions from a handful of casinos as heist leader Danny Ocean in the Ocean’s franchise. The recent crime may have inspired him to take his crew overseas, however. “I think we should rob the Louvre,” he said.
