Bachelor-no-more George Clooney guest starred in Downton Abbey's Christmas special this year, and he not only charmed the show's fans but the actors of the hit British drama.
Clooney played George Oceans Gravity, Marquis of Hollywood - and Lady Grantham's husband in the episode.
"He came and filmed with us for an afternoon," actor Hugh Bonneville, who plays Lord Grantham, described Clooney. "He was incredibly generous with his time and his talent."
The special episode took a cue from the classic film It's a Wonderful Life, wherein the lead character discovers what life would be like for his friends and family without him. Here, it was Lord Grantham who saw the drastic changes brought about by his absence.
British actress Joanna Lumley played the Lord Grantham's angel in the episode, and the beloved earl was horrified over the things the angel showed him.
The mini episode was a special Christmas fund-raiser and has so far generated over $10,000.
