Famous actors read mean Tweets about themselves

If 2016's Oscar nominees have been busy practicing their ‘I’m devastated inside but happy on the outside’ grins should the worst happen this Sunday night, they could do worse than watching Jimmy Kimmel’s latest batch of Celebrities Reading Mean Tweets About Themselves.

A decidedly A-list actor edition, Oscar winners included, Kimmel asked the likes of George Clooney, Sean Penn and Christoph Waltz to face the ire of social media and grin and bear it for the studio audience.

In short, Jessica Chastain looks like Julia Roberts’ ghost, Susan Sarandon reads a Tweet out about her boobs (not from Piers Morgan) and George Clooney finds out he’s actually a “gross ratty old man”.

Watch the best of the action below.
