Matt took the bait, responding: 'It's really funny. He's got this group of really wonderful friends. For 30 years they've been out here together and really great group of guys.'
He explained the group is giving the Ocean's 11 actor a hard time for becoming an 'old' dad.
'All of those guys, their kids are either in college or on their way and now George is getting started, so it's pretty funny. I think they're having a good time with him.'
Matt also told the daytime host that his friend came to him for some advice before the arrival of his twins with wife Amal Clooney.
