Journey to the top
Some accounts of Georges early years say he rode to auditions on a bicycle. Other accounts claim he rode on a horse. But whether he rode on a bike, a horse or a unicorn, the point is this: George paid his dues in Hollywood.
His first significant role was on a TV comedy called “E/R.” Oddly enough, a totally different show called “ER” made him famous years later. (Patrick Downs / Los Angeles Times)
... when you have a pet pig? George spent 18 years living with a 300-pound potbellied pig named Max.
The infamous bachelor was once married to Talia Balsam, but the couple divorced, and George vowed to never marry again. (Warren Toda / EPA)
President Clooney?
George is such an outspoken liberal that some have suggested he run for office. In response, George famously said, “I’ve slept with too many women, I’ve done too many drugs and I’ve been to too many parties. Clooney backed Barack Obama instead. (Win McNamee / Getty Images)
