George Clooney is the new sexiest man alive according to People magazine, but is he deserving of this two-time honor? I say that in order to be sexy you have to be able to make a commitment – potbellied pigs do not count. Clooney is a notorious cad who has been linked with all sorts of women, but never for very long. His standards seem to involve the proximity of the woman to him at the time.
He broke his neighbor Teri Hatcher’s heart after just a couple months of dating, prompting her to reveal her childhood abuse to Vanity Fair in a vain attempt to get back at him. He was also linked with his co-star Ellen Barkin, who joked during a tribute to Clooney that she screwed him. She probably did.
Clooney has a recent on-again off-again relationship with hottie Krista Allen, but he never made a commitment to her.
He dated British TV presenter Lisa Snowdon for nearly five years, ending the relationship in 2005 after both parties said that it was too difficult to maintain a long distance relationship.
Clooney was engaged to French law student Celine Balitran in 1998, but their relationship ended in 1999 after three years together. Clooney did set her up with a house and enough money to live comfortably in LA after they broke up.
And he was actually married from the age of 28 to 32 to actress Talia Balsam, 2 years his senior.
It seems as if Clooney tried commitment a few times and kind of gave up, preferring to spend a few weeks here and there with whomever was convenient.
He may be sexy, but he’s not good relationship material. Indeed, Clooney has said as much. Referring to his relationship with Celine Balitran, he said “I’m actually a much better ex-boyfriend than I am a boyfriend.”
Most of my ex boyfriends kind of seem like jerks to me, and it would never occur to me that they were still sexy. Clooney is the celebrity ex boyfriend that has something about him, but you realize it wouldn’t be worth it to go there.
There is a rumor that he paid Celine over 1 million dollars when they broke up.. and that included an iron-clad confidentiality agreement.
I’m still scared of him with his “backdoor” sex and the asphyxiation stuff. ew.
totally disgree.. Clooney – pls make way for the rugged sex god – Daniel Craig đŸ™‚
sexiest man alive??? That’s a highly debatable claim.
For ladies over 50! What about the younger generation. The peopl at People must be old.
He is way to old. The people at PEOPLE must be old hags. There plenty of young fresh men out there that are way hotter
I think he’s got real emotional problems. Something clearly happened to him when he was a child. I dated a guy who had the same unattainable qualities and it turns out he had been molested by an uncle when he was young. I could be wrong but….
He wasn’t really that hot when he was younger and on the Facts of Life or on ER even. He looks better now, but he has serious commitment issues. That’s just the way he swings…I suppose…unless he’s gay, which might be a possibility who knows with these Hollyweird types really…
Okay…so George is shy about commitment in relationships, but at least he is honest. I think that just being able to get a date with him would be the next best thing to winning the lottery. Well, pretty darn close. Anyway, I think that George will eventually settle down, like Warren Beatty (the eternal bachelor) did with Annette Bening. why? Because she was the one. Like hollywood, couples marry and divorce as quickly as they sip coke or snort it. Better to play the field if you are not sure, then to have 4-5 divorces behind your belt.
