Crawford, Clooney ad based on real life

Cindy Crawford says the tequila ad she starred in with George Clooney was based on an embarrasing real life incident involving the Hollywood star.

Supermodel Cindy Crawford says a tequila commercial featuring her caught in bed with George Clooney was based on a real life incident.

Crawford's husband Rande Gerber is best friends with Clooney, and the two own beverage brand Casamigos Tequila.

In a ad created last year for the liquor brand Gerber comes into a bedroom, only to find Clooney lying next to his lingerie-clad wife.

Crawford has now told Entertainment Tonight that the idea for the commercial was based on an embarrassing real-life incident.

"I woke up at, like, midnight and I snuck into the guest room, and I saw Rande laying face down on the bed with the lights still on. So I was like, 'Hey babe, you gotta wake up.'

"And 'babe' turns his head and it wasn't this babe (Gerber) - it was George! We were both so shocked. Then I started looking for him (Rande) and was like, 'I just got in bed with George in the guest bedroom!'"
