George Timothy Clooney (born May 6, 1961) is an
American actor, film director, producer, and screenwriter. For his work as an
actor, he has received three Golden Globe Awards and an Academy Award. Clooney
is also noted for his political activism, and has served as one of the United
Nations Messengers of Peace since January 31, 2008. Clooney was married to
actress Talia Balsam from 1989 until they divorced in 1993. He has said that he
will never marry again. After meeting British model Lisa Snowdon on the set of
a Martini advertisement in 2000, he had a five-year on-again, off-again
relationship with her. In June 2007, he started dating reality personality Sarah
Larson but the couple broke up in May 2008. In July 2009, Clooney was in a relationship
with Italian actress Elisabetta Canalis until they split in June 2011. Since
July 2011, Clooney has been dating former WWE Diva Stacy Keibler.Clooney has
also dated actresses Kelly Preston (1987–1989), Renée Zellweger (2001) and Krista
Allen (2002–2008) as well as French reality TV personality Céline Balitran
(1996–1999). Often featured in People magazine's "Sexiest Man
Alive" issue, Clooney's marital status and availability are a running joke
among female fans who still fantasize they have a chance to bring him to the
altar. Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum in Las Vegas has a "Marrying George
Clooney" photo-op, in which museum visitors can put on a wedding gown and
stand next to a wax statue of the actor in a tuxedo. Despite his highly
publicized relationships with women, Clooney's sexual orientation has been the
subject of media scrutiny. When asked about the subject in an interview with The
Advocate Clooney stated, "The last thing you’ll ever see me do is jump
up and down, saying, ‘These are lies!’ That would be unfair and unkind to my
good friends in the gay community. I’m not going to let anyone make it seem
like being gay is a bad thing."
