Actor George Clooney does an amazing job of lip-syncing to the song in the film Oh Brother Where Art Thou as his character performs the song on stage. In this bluegrass film by the Coen Brothers, George Clooney hams it up as Ulysses after he escapes prison with Delmar and Peter and the trio decides to hunt down a treasure.

“I am a man of constant sorrow

I’ve seen trouble all my day.

I bid farewell to old Kentucky

The place where I was born and raised.”
