George Clooney and Ewan McGregor were shook by a huge earthquake while
filming in Puerto Rico
Neither movie star was hurt in the quake - which measured 6.1 on the Richter
scale - but many people on the Caribbean island were thrown from their beds
when it struck.
George, 47, and Ewan, 37, were in Puerto Rico filming anti-war satire film
'Men Who Stare at Goats' at the time of the quake. Guests at the hotel where
the two actors are staying overheard the pair discussing the incident the
next day.
The earthquake was the most powerful to strike the island for 20
years. So far there have been no reports of injuries or damage.
George and Ewan returned to the movie set soon after the incident passed.
The quake came on the 90th anniversary of the most major earthquake ever
recorded on the island, which measured 7.1 on the Richter scale and killed
between 90 and 116 people.
'Men Who Stare at Goats' is set during the early day of the US invasion of
Iraq and looks at a paranormal unit of the US army called the First Earth
Battalion, which reportedly believed soldiers could use psychic powers to
adopt a cloak of invisibility, pass through walls and kill goats simply by
staring at them.
George plays Lyn Cassady, a US operative sent on a secret mission into the
warzone, while Ewan portrays news reporter Bob Wilton.
George has been spotted sporting a very unusual look on the set of the film,
including a brown moustache and a long haired brown wig.
'Men Who Stare at Goats' also stars Jeff Bridges and Kevin Spacey and is set
for release in 2010.
