— -- Looks like George Clooney is stepping back in time.

Clooney, 53, will appear on "Downton Abbey," ITV, the network behind the show, tweeted today.

"Confirmed: George Clooney has filmed a special scene for @DowntonAbbey for ITV's Text Santa," the network wrote.

According to ITV, Text Santa is a special "annual charity appeal, raising money and awareness for six UK based charities each year. Text Santa’s aim is to ‘Help Someone Near You’ by supporting charities who offer practical, tangible help to vulnerable people in the UK on a local and national level."

The bad news is Clooney will not be a regular on the show, but he will appear later in the season, around the holidays, according to People magazine.
