Considered as one of the members of a modern-age Brat Pack with the likes of Brad Pitt, George Clooney lets out a few secrets when speaking to The Hollywood Reporter for their latest cover story. Follow below as Clooney spills all the latest deets on his most recent thrills, chills, and and why he hasn't had a drink since New Year's Eve. A statement we can't ever imagine, nor would we ever impose on ourselves!
Clooney can't sleep...The actor/director says that he's in bed by 10:00 p.m. almost every night, though wakes up often throughout the night and requires the flickering of the TV in order to doze off. “Turning off the television causes me to think, and once I start that vision roaring, I have a very tough time getting to sleep,” he admits. "I'm able to numb out," he says, though even with the TV on, “Without question, I wake every night five times.” It was during one of these sleepless spells he wrote a memorable line of dialogue from Ides. "I woke and sat down and wrote the whole scene in the kitchen between Ryan [Gosling] and myself: ‘You want to be president... You can start a war, you can lie, you can cheat, you can bankrupt the country, but you can’t f--- the interns.’”
Clooney won't rule out marriage...“A couple of years ago, [Brad Pitt] really nailed me. He did one of those shows and they asked him when he was going to marry Angie [Angelina Jolie], and he said, ‘I’ll marry when George can legally marry [a man].’” He laughs. “He really got me badly, something I have had to deal with the past few years. But I could give a shit. I have to live in the world that I care about and that’s all that matters.” Once divorced, from actress Talia Balsam, Clooney hasn't ruled out getting married again -- but it's not on his mind either: "I don’t even think about it, really.”
His dad's advice when Fox news called him a 'traitor'..."Fox News and other places were calling me a traitor," Clooney says of his opposition to the war in Iraq. “I called my dad and said, ‘Am I in trouble?’ And he said, ‘Grow up. You’ve got money. You’ve got a job. You can’t demand freedom of speech and then say, 'But don’t say bad things about me.'' And he was right.”
He's most lonely in bad relationships, the public eye..."Anyone would be lying if they said they didn’t get lonely at times,” he says. “The loneliest you will get is in the most public of arenas: You will go to a place and end up in the smallest compartment possible, because it’s a distraction to everybody, and you end up not getting to enjoy it like everyone else.” He adds, “I have been infinitely more alone in a bad relationship; there’s nothing more isolating. I have been in places in my life where that has existed.”
