GEORGE CLOONEY drew in the crowds as he arrived at a Milan court to testify in fraud case on Friday.
Three people were in court accused of using Clooney’s name to promote a line of clothing without his permission. The “GC Exclusive by George Clooney” line was marketed in 2008.
Clooney testified through the help of a translator.
