Downton Abbey star Allen Leech just dished on George Clooney's appearance in the British drama's sketch scene that involved a lot of attention from the ladies.

"I'll put it this way: I've never seen so many female crew members arrive and be on set when they weren't actually supposed to be," the actor told E! News at the Los Angeles premiere of The Imitation Game. "It was very interesting."

The article posted on Tuesday mentioned that Clooney's scene is for ITV's Christmas charity initiative "Text Santa" which is set in Highclere Castle- the same setting as Downton Abbey.

"He was such a lovely man," Leech continued about the Oscar winner. "So intelligent, so articulate as well about not only acting but also world affairs."

Leech then referred to Clooney as "a great man, and a brilliant actor and a brilliant director and it was just so much fun and he had a blast."

Despite the fact that Clooney is not expected to appear on the series, Leech dished a little on his charity project.

"It was great," he said. "And I don't want to spoil it, but it's very funny, I've seen it and the interactions that George has with everyone in the cast are hilarious, so I think everyone will enjoy it and it will be a real treat and it was great of him to come in and do something like that for us."

Downton Abbey Season 5 will air in the United States on Sunday January 4 at 9 p.m. ET on PBS.
