George Clooney just gave a pretty funny interview to In Touch magazine, in which he talked about the pressures of being as high profile – and damn sexy – as he is. And he admitted that looking like George Clooney takes a lot of work – but he’s happy to do it.
Do they [George’s friends] ask you for advice?
Mostly the usual stuff. What does it take to appeal to women?What’s your reply?
I can only talk about my own experiences. With me, it’s the hair. If you have beautiful and strong hair, then you’re successful with women.So you wouldn’t be sexy bald?
In the case of hair loss, it’s all over.How long does it take you to get dressed?
I spend at least three or four hours a day in the bathroom. Being sexy day and night is a big responsibility. And I like taking it!

George also pulls a John Mayer and says that his player reputation is undeserved. And he notes that while he was quick to always profess his hatred of marriage after his divorce, it never even occurred to him that he might have a problem with commitment. Clooney also says that he hasn’t dated nearly as many women as he’s been linked to by the press.
Still, he insists he’s capable of settling down. “For a long time I took every chance to say that I was not going to marry again,” says George, who divorced actress Talia Balsam in 1993. “So I became very careful after a failed marriage. But am I afraid of committing? It’s never occurred to me.”
So you’re not anti-marriage?
What do people say: A good wife at the cooker is worth gold!What’s it like being one of Hollywood’s biggest playboys?
I’m not a playboy. If I had been with all the women that I was said to have been with, I wouldn’t have had the time to shoot one single movie.
[From In Touch; July 14 2008; print ed.]
I don’t know if I quite buy all of that, but I don’t think George discards women nearly as quickly – or as easily – as a lot of men in Hollywood. I’m sure there’s plenty out there that go through women much faster than they can possibly be linked to, even by the aggressive press. Ever since he broke up with Sarah Larson, George has had to defend his lifestyle and relationship choices quite a bit in the media. I’d say “poor guy” or something like that – but clearly he’s still doing fine. And just working on maintaining his sexiness.
Here’s Clooney riding his bike near Lake of Como with an unidentified friend on June 16th. Images thanks to Splash.

Good comparison between Clooney and John Mayer. They might think their player reputations are undeserved, but they are better known for who they date instead of their careers. They’re also both sarcastic, unfunny, and need to stop talking to the press because they sound dumber than all their girlfriends combined.
Someone would have to remind me why I ever saw “sexiness” in either Clooney or Mayer because now all I see are two pathetic dudes trying to play mind games with their ladies and their fans. Both very phony.

I think its the press and the wrong facts in stories that contribute in a big part to George having to defend his behavior.
While I agree Sarah Larson was a bad choice and did tarnish his reputation, still the press kept saying it was the longest and most serious relationship he’s ever had, record breaking, blah blah blah. That is simply NOT TRUE. Sarah was probably one of the shortest, unserious, public relationship George Clooney has had, and most likely lasted longer than it would have due to the motor bike accident. Basically 9 months, (Sept to May)
He lived was with Celine for 3 1/2 years, dated Lisa Snowdown for 2 years then on and off for another 2, he was MARRIED for 3 years, and had several other longer term more serious relationships.
All this in between winning 4 Oscar Nominations for the trifecta of writing, acting and directing, Winning Best Supporting Oscar, Being a United Natons Messenger of Peace, traveling to Darfur, etc.. the list goes on and on.
John Mayer comparison my ass.
Give George a break.

Clooney is so damn funny. I love his wit and sense of humor, like the 4 hours in the bathroom comment. He probably rolls out of bed, puts on that hot grey t-shirt, runs his fingers through his hair (or puts on the cute baseball hat)and is good to go.
He’s such a hottie. Being sexy just comes natural to him.

Anyone who can’t see he was joking in that interview must reside in a group home. Really are people that stupid and humorless? How sad to live lives where you don’t laugh with people but are laughed at.

See now, if John Mayer had said that stuff he would be crucified. I don’t know if people don’t get his sense of humor or what but I think at times people judge him a little harshly.

George is starting to look like Nick Clooney in the face which isn’t a good thing.
His mother was a beauty queen so that will prop his looks up a few years I’ll give him that.
I don’t know about the night time, but his daytime sexiness needs some work.
If he were trying to be sexy in the day time he would be lifting weights (for a more muscular rather than wasted appearnce)instead of just playing basketball with the guys.

The more photos we see of George this summer, the hotter and sexier I think he is. We’ve seen his sexy 6-pack abs, the guns on his arms, his sexy muscular legs. I wonder if the next movie role he is doing next requires him to have such an awesome hot body?
For 47 he looks better than most guys half his age. Add his sexy smile, gorgeous hair and awesome sense of humor and you have the “perfect” guy.

I think the comparison to Dark Dick Rot Mayer is obscene, Jaybird. For shame.
And Clooney is sort of right. Hiring hookers doesn’t equal dating. Thus, he hasn’t “dated” that many women.

I know how George feels. It’s a huge responsibility being so sexy. Love George. Love Mayer. They’re both hilarious.

Sigh, I love George Clooney in so many ways.

Kaiser/ Hippacrat – LOL … I never would have put the two of them together until this article, but after Jaybird wrote it, it seemed to fit.
Maybe it is the aggressive press at fault because Clooney and Mayer seem to be getting portrayed as tools who run extensive marketing polls to determine the most advantageous lady to date to boost their faltering careers. That kind of blows the whole “sexiness” package for me. Back in the day, I used to like both, but lately their caustic, “I’m smarter than you” sense of humor is just annoying and stupid.

Mayer comes off as an wanna be intellectual who isn’t satisfied with the average celebrity woman. George may be the same, but he seems more down to earth.

Take it from me, being sexy is both a blessing and a curse.

The “unidentified friend” George is biking with is Tate Donovan.
And I’m sorry, but aging men who date Vegas party girls aren’t sexy. They’re sleazy. I wonder if Clooney has any idea how bad Sarah Larson made him look.

Sexy? I think not. I don’t go for ape faces.

He looked his best on Roseanne. His face looks doughy since he gained and lost that weight for Syriana.

Eh. This little interview is kind of endearing. If he’s really not a commitmentphobe, and is just cautious about marriage, that’s cool. But the women he dates!! Ugh. Pornstars and call girls. It makes him look sleazy.

Most of what comes from George is humor and I’m thinking most of this interview is as well.
Also, use of the word “cooker” is prominent in the UK, not in the US. We say “stove.” So I’m calling B.S. on this story.
