'It's this beautiful Lincoln Town Car and these scraggly, dirty women': Shailene Woodley remembers the time George Clooney sent a chauffeur to fetch her from a 'sh***y' Milan hostel

George Clooney once sent a luxury car to pick Shailene Woodley from a '*sh**y' hostel in Milan, Italy.

The actress, 29, remembered the time her The Descendants co-star, 60, invited her to visit his Lake Como home while she was backpacking around Italy while talking to The Hollywood Reporter for their latest issue.

Though Woodley and a friend were roughing it between trains and cheap hotels, they got a treat when Clooney sent a professional chauffeur to fetch them in a 'beautiful Lincoln Town Car.'

Friends in high places: Shailene Woodley told a story about George Clooney sending a luxury town car to pick the actress up from a 'sh***y' Milan hostel years ago in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter

'We're staying in some sh**ty hostel in the middle of Milan, and he was like, "Send me your address. I'll send a car,"' she recalled.

'I was like, "No, we'll just get a train." He was like, "Give me your f***ing address." So I gave him the address and we come outside, it's this beautiful Lincoln Town Car and these scraggly, dirty women with our backpacks.'

Clooney purchased his 18th century Lake Como villa in 2002 and spends much of his time living there with wife Amal and their children. 

The Big Little Lies Woodley actress said she was 'grateful' for all the experiences being a young actress granted, telling THR: 'That was a sweet, funny moment in life where I got to experience so many different worlds from such a young age, the really big lives and the really small lives.' 

'I feel so f***ing grateful that the perspectives that I've been given now as an adult have all come through my desire as a young person to not spend all of my time in L.A. trying to pursue a career or to be something that I wasn't.' 

Shailene previously praised George back in 2014, calling him like a 'second dad' in an interview with Splash Magazine.

'He’s like my second dad. He’s got my back,' Woodley said. 'I’ve never met somebody in the industry who’s more grateful, who pays it forward without talking about it in the press or speaking about it to anyone else.'

Shailene also opened up about her personal life to THR, revealing how she and fiancé Aaron Rodgers waited 'months and months' to announce their engagement. 

'When we announced that we were engaged, we wanted to do that only because we didn't want someone else to do it before we did,' she told THR of the big reveal, which happened while Aaron was accepting his MVP award in February. 

'And we didn't do it for months and months after we had become engaged.'

Even after sharing the news, the couple continued to be coy about their romance.

Shailene said: 'The reaction to it was really a lot, and so we were like, "Let's just politely decline to talk about the for a little while and live in our little bubble."
