George Clooney will make an appearance in the hit British series Downton Abbey.
The handsome star is set to play an American wedding guest in a special show written to raise money for charity fundraiser Text Santa, and which will air at Christmas.

George is reportedly a big fan of Downton Abbey, and is good friends with one of its stars, Hugh, who plays Lord Robert Crawley. The pair became close while working together on Monuments Men.
Earlier this year it was reported that George and his fiancée Amal Alamuddin had chosen Highclere Castle, the estate where Downton is filmed, as the venue for their wedding.

"All the plans have been shrouded in secrecy because George was determined for his role not to leak out," a source told the Sun. "All the other cast members and crew were sworn to secrecy. It's amazing it's taken four months for someone to find out. This is the biggest moment in Downton history and shows it's now the biggest drama in the world."
