Three members of the Zimmers come face to face with George Clooney

The band members travelled to the US to star on Jay Leno's show

Clooney was on the show to promote his latest movie Ocean's Thirteen but happily took time out to pose for photographs with the band members back stage.

The Zimmers, who have a combined age of 3,000, were formed as part of a BBC TV documentary and their version of The Who's My Generation was an instant a YouTube hit.

Alfie has said her new found fame: "The whole experience has brought me back to life. I was stuck in a rut and now I feel alive again."

"I just hope any groupies can't run too fast - I'm surprisingly light on my feet for a fat man, but I'm not the swiftest."
