George Clooney got a bit of a surprise while attending the Venice Film Festival when a fan, announcing himself as a gay man, peeled off his shirt and pants while declaring his love for the actor.

Clooney was speaking at a press conference with costar Ewan McGregor to promote the film The Men Who Stare at Goats when the man stripped down. The man was a journalist…and he hadn’t even seen the film.

Clooney kept his cool, telling the room full of reporters, “There’s a little ambulance on its way.”

The actor kept the joke going throughout much of the rest of the press conference, telling the next journalist to step up to the mike and “take your clothes off before you ask this question.”
