During an appearance onThe Late Show with Stephen Colberton Tuesday, Feb. 18, Clooney said that despite co-writing the film and the play,memorizing his linesfor the Broadway show has been “a nightmare.”

“I don’t remember my kids’ names!” joked Clooney, who shares 7-year-old twinsAlexander and Ellawith wifeAmal. “I’m 63!”

“It’s weird. When I didER, we’d do 12 pages a day of medical dialogue and you could just come in and whip it out. I was 30 years [old],” Clooney continued. He then demonstrated his recall of the phrase “supraventricular tachycardia,” which he said he’s “never gotten wrong since” doing the 1994 drama. “Now I can’t remember anything,” he added.
