George Clooney was born on May 6, 1981 in Lexington, Kentucky. He has won an Academy Award and two Golden Globes. George acts, directs, is a producer and screenwriter. George has risen to the top of the A-List in American cinema. His quote on the outrageous antics of today’s young stars or rather sluts of the papparazzi are reportedly as follows, "If I were as famous as some of those kids who are on the magazines right now at 21 years old, I’d be shooting crack under my eyeball. We are always going to be that society that slows down to look at the car wreck on the side of the road. I think we’re just in one of those places right now, and it seems to be focused on younger kids Paris(jailbait) Hilton and Lindsay (knife) Lohan and people like that. They’ll get through it, but I wouldn’t want to be growing up around that."
Clooney was rebuked or dissed by Charlton Heston after what Clooney says were remarks he made about Heston that were taken completely out of context. Heston said after making note of the class of George’s late aunt, Rosemary Clooney, "It just goes to show that sometimes class does skip a generation." Now take that you smug son of a who cut your hair last bastard, were Heston’s next words, off the record comments of course, a source reportedly said. What can you expect Charles, from a guy who lives with a big old pot-bellied pig for 18 years, I tell ya! Max, Clooney’s pig, passed away on December 1,2006.
Clooney’s college time was spent mainly on girls and partying. He was reportedly a poor student, not in the monetary sense, but in the studying department. To much pussy and partying usually does that to a play boy with his good looks. But as we all know he was smart enough to run off with a lot of Hollywood’s silver and gold.
Clooney’s dear old father, a politician is well known for saying about himself, “I spent the first part of my life being referred to as Rosemary Clooney’s brother, and now I am spending the last part of my life being referred to as George Clooney’s dad.”
George Clooney’s political sway is liberal. He was quoted as saying this about the Iraq war, “You can't beat your enemy anymore through wars; instead you create an entire generation of people seeking revenge. These days it only matters who's in charge. Right now that's us - for a while at least. Our opponents are going to resort to car bombs and suicide attacks, because they have no other way to win.. I believe (Rumsfeld) thinks this is a war that can be won, but there is no such thing anymore. We can't beat anyone anymore.”
In April 2006, George spent 10 days in Chad and Sudan making a film with his dad to show the dramatic situation of Darfur's refugees. In September 2006, he spoke in front of the Security Council of the UN with Nobel Prized Elie Wiesel to ask the UN to find a solution to the conflict and to help the people of Darfur. In December 2006, he made a trip to China and Egypt with Don Cheadle and others to ask both governments to pressure Sudan's government. He narrated the documentary “Sand and Sorrow.” On March 25, 2007, he sent an open letter to German chancellor Angela Merkel. Clooney, along with Brad Pitt, Don Cheadle, Jerry Weintraub, and Matt Damon, are behind the organisation Not On Our Watch, which focuses global attention and resources to stop and prevent mass atrocities. Very worthy causes indeed. But sadly I really don’t think the majority of governments give a rat’s ass about what’s happening over in Sudan. And that is a real sad commentary on today’s society.
