George Clooney is the kind of friend we all could use.

A few years back, a story came out that in 2013, Clooney surprised 14 of his closest friends with a gift of $1 million each.

Clooney never came out publicly confirming or denying the story, until now. In the "Men of the Year" issue for GQ, Clooney confirmed that he DID in fact gift his friends the cash telling the magazine, "I just thought basically if I get hit by a bus, they’re all in the will. So why the f–k am I waiting to get hit by a bus?"

Clooney explained that he gifted his friends the cash because it was at a point in time he didn't have a wife or kids and he never expected to have a family.

He said, "And I thought, what I do have are these guys who’ve all, over a period of 35 years, helped me in one way or another. I’ve slept on their couches when I was broke. They loaned me money when I was broke. They helped me when I needed help over the years. And I’ve helped them over the years… And I thought, you know, without them I don’t have any of this."
