July 6 (UPI) -- Actor, producer and director George Clooney will be honored at this year's Venice International Film Festival.
Clooney, 65, will receive the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement award at the 83rd annual festival in September.
"I've had so many extraordinary moments in Venice," the actor said. "This Festival is without question my favorite and to be given the Golden Lion is a tremendous honor. It also probably means I'm old, but I'll take it."
Clooney is a two-time Oscar winner whose acting credits include Ocean's Eleven, Good Night, and Good Luck, Syriana, Michael Clayton, The Descendants, Gravity, Hail, Caesar! and Jay Kelly.
