Movies George Clooney and Julia Roberts appeared in together

Ocean’s Thirteen concludes the trilogy with both actors returning as Tess and Danny Ocean, placing them at the center of an elaborate casino heist in Las Vegas.

Clarifying common misconceptions
Some viewers assume Clooney and Roberts have worked together in more films than they actually have, or confuse television or guest appearances with feature collaborations. This list intentionally includes only theatrical feature films in which both share screen time as cast leads or significant supporting characters.

Across these titles, the pair has cultivated a screen dynamic that balances romantic tension with the easy, wry humor associated with the Ocean’s franchise.

Their reunion in Ticket to Paradise signaled ongoing audience appetite for their particular pairing.
