My Secret Life: Kathy Lette, 54, novelist

'I regret turning Clooney down'

SATURDAY 02 FEBRUARY 2013

My greatest regret… "That I didn't sleep with George Clooney when I had the chance. I was living in Hollywood writing on the sitcom The Facts of Life, which was Clooney's first TV role. "I'm a writer," I said to George at the time. "I don't go out with actors. You put other people's words in your mouth when you never know where they've been." I am still impaling myself on my pen".

Australian author Kathy Lette admits she turned George Clooney down for sex

The Daily Telegraph September 07, 2009

AUSTRALIAN author Kathy Lette has revealed she once turned down Hollywood's most sought after bachelor George Clooney for sex.

Lette told The Mirror newspaper that she met Clooney when she cast him in his first TV gig more than 20 years ago. At the time, Lette was writing sitcoms for Columbia Pictures, and gave Clooney his first role in 1987.

"I turned down George Clooney for sex. He was cute-as, and he asked me out! But there was always hostility between the writers and the actors, because the actors earned more," Lette said.

"You put other people's words in your mouths, when you don't know where they’ve been.

"Years later, living in London, now with two babies and covered in vomit, I had a visit from one of my writer friends. We were watching ER and I was like, 'Wow, look at that Dr Ross. Isn't he gorgeous?' And she was like, 'That’s the guy you cast, who asked you out.' I screamed, I cried, I lay in the foetal position on the floor. I should probably call George up now and say, 'About that date...'

Lette's comments come as she slammed men around the globe who cannot dress appropriately for their shape or age.

"Jack Nicholson in a thong, with a huge beer-belly hanging over the top is a premium example. That is a look we call 'The veranda over the toy shop' in Australia," she said.

"So whenever I see that or someone like Sean Connery’s man boobs, I roar with laughter. Male egos are so big that, no matter how much flab a guy has, he will always see a love god in the mirror."
