Some time ago, George Clooney surprised the residents of a small town in Madrid by being seen walking through its streets riding a donkey. This municipality, according to reports, boasts an unbelievable gastronomic offer.
It was on September 24, 2019, when the residents of Navalcarnero, a picturesque town of 28,000 inhabitants (28,000) south of the Community of Madrid, witnessed this scene.
That day, they were surprised by the presence of George Clooney and Brie Larson, who were riding donkeys through its cobbled streets. Both actors were in the town to film a commercial for the well-known coffee brand Nespresso, for which Clooney has been the face for over a decade.
According to reports, the filming took place in the iconic Plaza de Segovia. This area is characterized by its four irregular-sided portico, which formerly served as a bullring.

That day, George Clooney wore a black jacket, white jersey, sunglasses, and a thick gray beard that gave him an older appearance. Although, according to some female residents of Navalcarnero, he was perfectly recognizable.
Meanwhile, actress Brie Larson, star of Captain Marvel, wore burgundy pants and a white jersey with puffed sleeves. She also showed a relaxed and smiling attitude at all times.
As expected, this unrepeatable and unexpected scene was closely followed by dozens of residents who didn't want to miss George Clooney's visit for anything in the world. This wasn't the only time residents of Madrid had the opportunity to see the actor in person.
In fact, just one day earlier, Clooney had already been seen in Madrid, specifically on Velázquez Street in the Salamanca neighborhood. This is where he filmed another part of the commercial in the Nespresso store.
Back then, the actor was riding a bicycle, wearing a dark suit and the same gray beard. George Clooney's presence in the capital caused great excitement and some traffic disruptions in the area.
There is no doubt that these types of advertising campaigns represent a significant source of income for Clooney. According to estimates from Business Insider magazine, the actor earns more than €23,000 per hour.
