"Sleep now!" Washington quipped. "Because you won't be sleeping then!"

Driving home the importance of this, he continued, "SLEEP NOW! I'm not talking to George, I'm talking to his wife. Sleep now!"

"He's gonna need support, and not from an actor," Washington, 62, added. "It's going to be a real performance. He'll see, but it's beautiful. We have twins and they're grown now, but it's a miracle."

Last week, ET also caught up with George Clooney's pal, Matt Damon, who was thrilled that his friend would soon be a father to twins. "I've never had twins. He has it coming," the father of four joked. "I had them one at a time and that was plenty."

"It's going to be a huge challenge, I mean, one baby cries, wakes the other up. It's going to be on in that household," Damon, 46, added. "[But] he doesn't sleep a lot anyway. He'll be alright. I'm serious, he's got a hell of a work ethic."
