Speaking at the movie's BFI London Film Festival press conference, the actor explained that the prospect of working with Royal Tenenbaums director Wes Anderson also persuaded him to sign up for the Roald Dahl adaptation.
"[Mr Fox] was such an optimist and I really thought it was a fun character to play," said Clooney. "I remember reading the script and saying to Wes, 'Listen, I love it. I'm thrilled and excited to do it. I don't know who'll see it because it's sort of made for grown-ups and it's sort of made for kids'.
"You never know how that plays. He said, 'Don't worry about it, let's just go make a movie and have some fun'. I thought that was a great way to approach making a film. For me it's about the process of working with Wes."
Clooney jokingly added: "I didn't enjoy working with Bill [Murray]! We fought a lot!"
"That's accurate, George," replied Murray.
