This is what 50 looks like …
One of the best looking leading men in Hollywood is turning 50 today. We want to give a shout out to handsome A-lister George Clooney and wish him a Happy Birthday.
The actor, film director, producer, and screenwriter has been acting for over three decades, getting his start in 1978 when he played a handy man in The Facts of Life. He moved on to a semi-regular supporting role of 11 episodes in the sitcom Roseanne. Clooney is best known for his five year stint on the medical drama ER, appearing in 107 episodes from 1994-1999.
George has had some highs and lows over the years. His role in Batman & Robin was panned and he was nominated for a Razzie Award. In 2000 he won a Golden Globe for Best Actor in O Brother, Where Art Thou? He won an Academy Award and Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor for his 2005 portrayal in Syriana, and was nominated in the Best Actor category for Michael Clayton.
The actor had several box office successes as Danny Ocean in the popular Ocean’s Eleven, Ocean’s Twelve and Ocean’s Thirteen series of films.
Clooney, who had one stint at marriage with Talia Balsam from 1989 to 1993, has sworn off the whole wedded bliss thing. His love interest since 2009 has been Elisabetta Canalis. The 32-year-old model and actress was born the year he began his television and film career.
George lives part time at his Hollywood home and is most often seen enjoying his Italian villa on Lake Como in the village of Laglio.
