This is not a drill.
This might be the best news we’ve heard all year. George Clooney is set to star in a Downton Abbey in a special charity episode this Christmas.
The Sun revealed that the ACTUAL GEORGE CLOONEY has already shot his scenes for the episode, which will air during ITV's fundraiser, Text Santa.

It's been confirmed that he'll play an American who is attending a wedding at the estate, but a spokesperson for the show has declined to reveal any further details.
A source told The Sun: "This is the biggest moment in Downton history and shows it's now the biggest drama in the world. All the plans have been shrouded in secrecy because George was determined for his role not to leak out."
George apparently accepted the role after becoming friendly with Downton star, Hugh Bonneville.
The pair met on the set of The Monuments Men earlier this year, with George apparently telling Hugh how much of a fan of Downton he was, and joking about appearing in the drama. Next thing we know, it's actually happening.
