Twenty-four hours as hectic as this could break a lesser man.

But George Clooney was certainly up to the task. After all, basking in admiration is all in a day's work for a movie star.

Roll out the red carpet: George Clooney with Renee Zellwegger last night

So before he thrilled the fans gathered in Leicester Square for his movie premiere last night, he squeezed in a visit to those just down the road at 10 Downing Street.

Gordon and Sarah Brown were delighted to welcome Clooney, who looked Hollywood fresh despite a rather late night socialising with his old friend Mariella Frostrup and his newer friend Jemima Khan.

The Prime Minister, Clooney later said, had been "amazingly helpful" when asked for his support to bring stability to Darfur.

The 46-year-old actor, a United Nations "messenger of peace", has become an advocate for the troubled region.

Then it was off to schmooze with Renee Zellweger, his co-star in Leatherheads, which premiered in London last night.

It was not known whether Miss Khan, 34, Hugh Grant's former girlfriend, was among the guests.

The pair certainly got on famously at a party in Clooney's honour hosted by Harper's Bazaar editor Lucy Yeomans on Monday evening.

Perhaps it was Miss Khan's easy familiarity with the ins and outs of Hollywood. Or her animated political views.

Then again, she was wearing a particularly low-cut top.

She was among a group of six who continued the party at Clooney's suite at the Dorchester.
