The actor's Ocean's Eleven co-star Matt Damon and his wife Luciana are also expected, and George's best friend and business partner Rande Gerber – who has been spotted bringing cases of tequila to Italy ahead of the nuptials – will surely attend with his wife Cindy Crawford.
Ellen Barkin, who is said to have thrown a hen party for Amal a few weeks ago, is also in the frame to be part of the celebrations.According to reports in the US, George and Amal have only sent out 60 invites to guests, which include the bride's family. Her younger sister Tala has reportedly been asked to be maid of honour and Rande is the front-runner for the job of best man.
