You don't see a lot of 60-year-old women with 20-year-old men onscreen. PITT: You will in Benjamin Button. [Pitt is currently shooting The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, in which his character ages backward.] Sixty and 20 to be exact. CLOONEY: You're playing 20? Really? DAMON: There's a lot of cgi. [To Pitt and Clooney] Is it true that you were...
