George Clooney: I Am Not the Godfather

He’s the Cary Grant of our times and that’s saying a lot.

Porgie probably made the story up to drum up some interest in his new dud of a movie. He knew darned good and well the razzi were going to report what he said. He could have said at the time that he was joking, but it kept his name in the news for a few days, “…and by the way, I have a new movie coming out on April 4!” That’s what famewh#re’s do and Porgie is nothing if not a first class famewh#re.

I meant himself.

At least someone still believes in god. Unlike the rest of the scientology crew. What do these children of science have? Bill Nye the science-father?

It was obvious he was joking. I don’t see anything wrong with George being George and I’m not going to dissect and find “motives” behind everything

Thanks JJ. I’m a GC fan and it’s cool how he, BP, MD and DC all enjoy what in my opinion is a genuine friendship amongst themselves. I pat them all on the backs for always willingly giving of their time & support to each others various humanitarian works, and I love the Rat Pack pt 2 offscreen/onscreen comraderie. I adore George’s dad more, but GC is up there lol.

George is show business royalty.

His cousin Migeuel Ferrer isn’t too shabby either with his branch of the tree.

Somebody Has to Be in Control
The effort behind George Clooney’s effortless charm.

George Clooney was at home in Los Angeles one afternoon in mid-January, a few days before he flew to Sudan in his new role as a United Nations “Messenger of Peace” (an appointment that overlooked reports of a recent public scuffle with Fabio, the leonine model). Clooney, who is unusual in being both very famous and, apparently, at ease with the fact—he can sometimes look like a spokesman for celebrity itself—was sitting on a long pale sofa, alongside Sarah Larson, his girlfriend.

His manner—nonchalance underpinned, it seemed, by vigilance and self-scrutiny—carried the suggestion that almost any divergence from banter was unforgivable artsy narcissism.

This is probably the performance for which Clooney, now forty-six, is still best known, even as he has become a Hollywood emperor, not to mention a left-leaning activist and a friend of Senator Barack Obama’s. Clooney is America’s national flirt, a pitchman on talk shows and red carpets who, against the background hum of the world’s lust and envy, is lightly ironic, clever, and self-deprecating, with furrowed brow and bobbing head, and a gyration in the lower jaw suggesting something being moved around under his tongue.

Clooney is one of a very small group of people who, when asked to consider the most satisfying parts of their lives, begin to describe business meetings: “Sitting in a room with a bunch of people who don’t want to make a film that you know is the right film to make. You’ll say, ‘You guys are going to hate this.’ I never thought I’d be in a position to say to someone, ‘I know you don’t want to make this movie, but if I’m doing it for free I can get it done somewhere.’ ” One can imagine the avidity with which Clooney began a career in film directing. He said to me that directing was “a thousand times” as satisfying as acting; “I consider my life as being a director.”

I think Clooney’s jokes are getting stale!

Interesting “hey fans” I am a regular at all the Clooney sites and I never heard the behind the scenes chatter. What is your source of information? I understand Clooneystudio closed her site down for lack of time to commit to it. As sad as we were to see it go, we respected her decision and wish her well.

Thanks for the new George thread Jared. I saw the video where George answered the paps question about being the new baby’s God parent. It is funny to me anyone is making a big deal about it. Looked like George gapped off his question and responded just to shut him up. :-)

I can’t imagine the Jolie/Pitts would need God parents for their children. If they don’t believe in marriage, can’t imagine Christening their child would be high priority to either of them.

God parents are in place so if anything happens to the parents, the God parents would step forward, I can’t imagine George with 5 children suddenly. Hopefully if the Jolie/Pitt’s do have God parents, they will choose the members of Brad’s family over their celebrity friends.

thank goodness!

tiger #44 “Godparent ” is not a legally recognized relationship in any of the United States. It is strictly an honorary position. If you want your children’s godparents to raise them after you’re gone you have to put it in a legal will.

haha yes I know Nonny Mouse.But, thanks for the legal tip.
