Taking a break from enjoying the good life at his vacation home in Lake Como, Italy, George Clooney was in London today (October 14) to promote his upcoming animated flick, Fantastic Mr. Fox.

Joined by co-stars Wally Wolodarsky, Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, Jarvis Cocker, Eric Anderson and director Wes Anderson, the 48-year-old actor was all smiles as he attended a photocall for the movie at The Times BFI London Film Festival held at The Dorchester Hotel.

Later tonight, gorgeous George will join fellow co-star Meryl Streep as they walk the red carpet for the opening of the 53rd London Film Festival.

Anderson’s stop-motion kid-flick is adapted from Roald Dahl’s book about the battle between a chicken-stealing fox and three evil farmers.

Despite mixed reviews from critics, expectations are running high for tonight’s screening.

George also stars in two other festival movies, The Men Who Stare at Goats and Up in the Air.
