But like us, stars need to eat, and their food choices may be more similar to our own than you\u2019d expect. Clooney\u2019s favorite sandwich is a prime example.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_4-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> In a segment on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Clooney revealed what his perfect sandwich looks like, and it may resemble your typical go-to on a beach day. Here\u2019s the breakdown.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_8-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;I like a ham sandwich,&#8221; Clooney shared. &#8220;Ham, lettuce, tomato, a little mustard on it, a little toasted, maybe a potato bread.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_10-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> A classic ham sandwich on potato bread? Pair it with a side of chips and we\u2019re dreaming of the perfect meal by the pool. But highlighting fresh ingredients like lettuce and tomato gives it just enough crunch, and they\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/9-best-foods-to-help-you-stay-hydrated-11764621\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">hydrating foods<\/a> that make perfect sandwich toppers for hot days.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_12-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Colbert notes that Clooney\u2019s pick for the &#8220;best sandwich&#8221; is similar to Tom Hanks\u2019 pick, which is &#8220;ham on swiss, no tomato, lettuce and mustard.&#8221; Sorry, Tom, but we love the inclusion of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/are-tomatoes-good-for-you-8636976\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">tomato<\/a> in Clooney\u2019s sandwich, as it adds fiber and antioxidants to each bite.\n<\/p>\n<p>Abbey Littlejohn<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_17-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> This humble sandwich is just five ingredients, and it\u2019s easy to recreate at home.

At EatingWell, we believe that any food or drink can be included in a healthy eating pattern. So, while a daily ham sandwich might not be the most nutritious choice, there\u2019s nothing wrong with enjoying it once in a while\u2014especially in the middle of summer when a cool, refreshing sandwich is ideal. Or try toasting it like Clooney for a crispy bite.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"George Clooney\u2019s favorite sandwich is a ham sandwich with lettuce, tomato and mustard on potato bread.
