London: After almost five decades, "Michael Clayton" star George Clooney brought Hollywood glamour to his hometown by premiering his latest film.

Clooney chose Maysville to premiere "Leatherheads" and was joined by co-star Renee Zellweger on the Red Carpet. His father Nick too attended.

Thesun.co.uk quoted Clooney as saying: "It was a huge part of my life, this town. I'm just like them. I just happen to be a little more famous. They really are family.

"If you're from a small town, you don't really ever shake that. It's the best support system and they're always the biggest critics, which is kind of the fun of it."

Earlier in 1953, George's aunt, singer Rosemary Clooney, brought "The Stars and Singing" to Maysville.
