London: Actor George Clooney thought it would be a good idea to audition to play a drunk character while intoxicated, but his plan didn't work.

"I remember I was very bad at auditioning. I went to audition for Francis Ford Coppola to play a drunk in 'Dracula'. I thought it would be a good idea if I were to get drunk for the audition to get the part," Clooney told OK magazine, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
