George Clooney and Noah Wyle’s friendship goes back to the ’90s when they both starred in the medical drama “ER.” Despite the former leaving the show in 1999 to focus on a career in movies, Wyle gushed about their long-standing bond in recent interviews, calling him a “touchstone figure” in his life. The two recently reunited at the 2026 AARP Movies for Grownups Awards, where they presented each other with their respective awards. Clooney won best actor in a film for his role in “Jay Kelly,” while Wyle won the same award in the TV category for “The Pitt.” See how the two have evolved through the years.
