You’ll get the whole story! Clooney arguably had the best seat in the house at the 2012 state dinner that honored British Prime Minister David Cameron. Clooney found his name card next to first lady Michelle Obama. Cameron sat on the other side of Michelle Obama, and President Barack Obama was seated on Cameron’s left, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
