Two coffee brands are fighting over George Clooney. Then again, who wouldn't?
Nespresso, which has employed Clooney as its pitchman in international markets since 2006 and launched a U.S. ad featuring Clooney and Danny DeVito in November, is suing coffee company Israeli Espresso Club over ads employing a Clooney lookalike.

In addition to Nespresso, Clooney has also served as pitchman for Omega watches, appeared in bank ads in Norway, and is the face of his own Casamigos tequila brand in the U.S.
