George Clooney
Born 6 May 1961, in Lexington Kentucky - (dad was a news-caster; aunt was 50s singer Rosemary Clooney), Gorgeous George is constantly vying with Brad Pitt for Sexiest Man In History Of Humankind status (and mocking mutual chum Matt Damon for never getting above bronze position), and has all the classic, debonaire charm of a golden-era Hollywood mega-star. Just don’t call up the mullet pics during the jobbing telly days (pre ER doc-to-die-for explosion).
Turning to acting when he struck out of trials for the Cincinnati Reds baseball team, Clooney charted the choppy waters of failed TV pilots and Return Of The Killer Tomatoes to emerge a bona fide leading man, who divides his time between money-spinning crowd-pleasers and thoughtful, political and less bankable outings. Which, for our dollar, is exactly what you should do when you get the clout.
Best Supporting Actor Oscar-winner for Syriana (probably should have won for Good Night And Good Luck), he’s the guy that almost killed the Dark Knight in Batman And Robin, and is currently mourning the death of Max, his beloved pig (and longer-term companion than any of the sexy model-actress types), who was a pressie from former flatmate Kelly Preston, and died on 1 Dec 2006. RIP PIG.
