The 2025 Tony Awards lit up screens across the world on Sunday - but it was the drama behind the scenes that really set tongues wagging.

On a night where Nicole Scherzinger and Darren Criss won Broadway theatre's biggest awards, snubbed best actor nominee George Clooney was seen having a deep chat with Tony-winning producer Oprah Winfrey.

The 64-year-old Oscar winner - who returned to his signature silver locks - looked somber during the intense chat as Oprah clutched onto his hand and put on an animated display. 

Winfrey's best friend of 49 years - CBS Mornings co-host Gayle King - was seen intently listening by her side. 

George was also seen cracking up laughing while chatting with Succession alum Sarah Snook during a commercial break.

The Australian 37-year-old went on to win the best actress Tony for her Broadway debut in The Picture of Dorian Gray.
