OlderGeorge Clooney & Renee Zellweger - “W” Magazine December 2007
Leatherheads costars Renee Zellweger and George Clooney share the cover of the December 2007 issue of W magazine. Inside, Renee jokes that they’ve been married for 28 years. “Twenty-seven,” says Clooney. “We lived together for the first year.”
The first bunch of quotes are from Clooney’s interview with W, the rest of Renee’s:
On backing Barack Obama in the next Presidental election: “I spoke to him two days ago for a half hour. I think that he’s in that sort of doldrums, that midelection run, where you’re still trying to define what it is that you want to be.”
On borrowing shots from directors he admires: “I sent apology letters to Mike Nichols and Sidney Lumet after Confessions because I just directly stole shots. But then I told Joel and Ethan that I’ve stolen shots from them, and they’re like, ‘Yeah, we stole that shot from Capra.’”
On rewriting the script to “Leatherheads” to accommodate his age: “You can’t try to hide your age and you can’t try to pretend it isn’t there. You have to use it as a tool.”
On Renee’s role in the upcoming film “Leatherheads”: “In movies, so often the guy gets to be the one with all the answers. In this one, she’s the smart one. Which was incredible acting on her part.”
On directing Renee: “She’s my friend, so I can be really direct. I can say, ‘That’s not a good angle,’ and not try to manipulate her, saying, ‘Well, maybe you’d be looking off over there because the moon is shining.’”
On encouraging Gawker.com readers to post fake sightings of him: “They had 6,000 locations for me in the first day.”
On working with master directors like Joel and Ethan Coen and Steven Soderbergh: “[They] taught me everything I know. If you plan it out and work really hard, then it’s much easier to make films.”
Renee on her fear of letting Clooney down in “Leatherheads”: “…He doesn’t even know how important his opinion has been to me over the years. I don’t want to disappoint him.”
Renee on Clooney’s direction: “I just get so proud that my head pops off. George is such a confident director, and he has no idea. And he’s a nice person. It gets boring hearing that, but it’s true. Every once in a while you get the real good guy. You’ve got your Jimmy Stewart. You’ve got your Paul Newman. Now you’ve got your George Clooney.”
Renee on Gawker.com encouraging readers to post stars’ precise whereabouts: “Oh, I log on every day to see where George is. Oh my God, get your things! He’s at Barneys!…The problem with that is with his schedule these days, the sightings were all true. He was in all 6,000 places that morning—before lunch.”

What an ugly cover. They look like they just rolled out of bed.
George is a plyboy. His profile was found on a millionaire dating site WealthyRomance.com last week! It is said he has a major crush on hot chicks on that site!
They look good together. Clooney should dump that dirty Vegas go-go girl he’s hang around and get together with Renee.
If he is a real man he needs a real woman.
She’s sooooo bautiful at this cover!!
I’ve always liked RZ and GC…and I must say, when you want to see a man sport a tuxedo…GC wins my bet all the way….he’s handsome and I’d date him…
