Will you lose interest in George Clooney once he's married?

Ok ladies, 'fess up now: once our hero is a married man, will you become less interested in him? Vote above, comment below.

I voted yes, only because I've already lost interest in him. The People spread did it for me. Don't mostly lesser celebrities get their cover on People? I've read the words vulgar and tacky on the posts today, and that's what I thought when I saw the article. To me, two intelligent, supposedly sophisticated adults don't have an engagement circus. I think they are both very needy.

actually yes

I am greed

I wrote earlier, how I felt George was shifting his fan base, from what he was to a more "celebrity driven" base.
Then I went out for lunch, this says it all. 
Right next to me was a news stand on todays Daily Express Front Page, was a picture of Amal and George, something about her secret mission.(note; not I or any other UK poster bothered to buy it, we all know the secret mission was not HUMANITARIAN, just the licence I'm guessing?)  
Friend I was having coffee with, said "I'm surprised, usually you would have jumped the wall for that"
I replied "He has become George Cloondashian"  It made it worse that meant it.
So YES, already have.

Not because he is a married man, but it turns out he wasn't from my tribe after all, just pretending.
Love can bring a lot to light.

As long as he's making movies, I think most members of his fan base will not lose interest in his works. I'm super excited for his upcoming films such as Tomorrowland, Hail Caesar and Money Monster.

That smile the eyes and his expressions - oh how can anyone resist?!  Married or not, he is one handsome guy.  Funny as all get out .... he oozes charm, class and chrasma.  So that's a triple crown of a guy in this girls book 

Alison - Rubbish headline but it had the right effect......her (necessary) trip to the town hall.........notice now taken down after required 15 days and in the shredder


And as to the question. No. Of course not.

And even if the way he handled this might have pissed some of you, but I think this will lead to the quiet and happy years in the rest of his life. They were pretty low profile before the relationship went public, and when the buzz calms down and they both return to work and everyone has got used to their marriage, he will get a more "profession driven" fanbase instead of the fantasy celebrity type. I first knew him as an excellent actor and haven't followed any of his exes all those years. Glad we soon won't have to argue or fight about all those women he's dated and it's time to focus on his career. Maybe that's what he wants as recently he admits more and more that he's getting older.With a new phase in his life, he may gain some very different life experience and use it in his performance or directing or writing.
The no-longer-bachelor George Clooney could become a better filmmaker.

im still a fan, i love his films and hope he makes loads more, who he marries doesnt worry me, its not my marriage and not my problem if by chance it all goes wrong.

No I'll not lose interest in George as a married man.
In fact, I'll probably be more interested in him as a married man than a single one. And I certainly will continue to enjoy the films that he makes.
But I'm very interested to see which road he will take
in the future, professionally.
I'm delighted for him that he's found his life partner.
I'm as sure as I can be, without actually knowing George personally, that he's going into this marriage with his eyes wide open and his head and his heart committed to Amal.
I find it fascinating that they have many mutual friends and contacts away from the Hollywood scene.

IMO it's not his fault that the press write such articles as was mentioned by Alisonfan. They are only out to make money by quoting his or Amal's name in their headlines.
The wise keep away from such publications and don't give them their hard earned cash.

Yep. Plus One

Interesting question.  I think his marriage may take the blame for whatever happens in the future that may have nothing to do with that relationship.  Say he becomes "less relevant" (particularly on screen).  Folks may blame that on his marriage when it may have more to do with his own career choices, and the fact that --let's face it ladies--soon he will be closer to 60 than 50 and it's hard to keep leading man status going on his previous scale at that age.  Too many much younger movie goers will not be interested in what he does.

ALREADY HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah that's why he has much potential to be a better director. He once said Clint Eastwood was his inspiration.
As for losing interest, it's just a normal course for every actor and I just hope he would leave more legacy in the industry. Great films and performances live on forever.

If he got another Oscar, he'll no doubt be a legend in film history.Apparently he is not wasting his time so does it really matter if he loses the audience in his 60s,70s or 80s? He will be remembered forever and some great people in human history didn't even get recognition when they were alive.

I will not lose interest in him when he gets married.....I agree with sevens I'm excited about the new movies coming....And yes it will be interesting to see how his future will be as a married man....   But I will not lose interest...  

But ask me again when HE IS MARRIED.... 

I won't lose interest in him as I love his films and married or not he's still damn fine to look at.  I may however have to consider changing my name  

He's a legend for his dating history and his good looks.   I remember the late Roger Ebert mistakenly thought GNGL was a Soderbergh's movie. And I thought then George still has a long to go to prove himself as a filmmaker.

As for the question, sadly, I have already lost interest too.

I don't care about his marital status, I'm a fan of his movies. I find it strange that people may stop being a fan if he marries. It seems like a very juvenile decision. He was never yours, you never had a chance - why not let him be happy?

George's romantic life has always been the least original and engaging thing about him. Until now, it's basically been a continuous-loop wet dream for 19-year-old boys, writ large. So I won't be any less of a fan when (if) he changes that.

But if he starts making different choices of material because of his marriage, or using his filmmaker stardom to defend his wife's defense of war criminals and political fraud artists, well, then I'm out. And I would presume that at that point, he'd really be done, because I'm as loyal as they come; so if I ever get over him, he's beyond saving.

Sure, but I don't think that's the point. George Clooney is a fantasy man and some people may prefer not to fantasise over a married man.

I'm with Way2Old on this. I'd like to think I'll always be a fan. I think he has the potential to make great, relevant films- both in front of and behind the camera. But if he takes up Amal's causes and tries to justify the cases she has taken on he will lose my respect for him as a person. I'll probably still see his films if they are well reviewed, but it won't be the same.

Katie - I think anyone who sees George as their fantasy man can relax. They can just fantasize Amal away and go happily on dreaming.  

I'll be interested cause I reckon the divorce will come quicker than the engagement!

I voted yes.

I loved his single status, he was like a freedom icon for me, living his own life and not conforming to other people's expectations. I found this very appealing and brave.

Now everything changed over night and I am still recovering.

I am never interested in married men. Of course, I will watch his movies but my overall interest in his life will eventually fade.  

Already starting to lose interest.  So I voted yes. No longer do I check latest news on the web for him.

Butterfly - your reason for voting "yes" is the only one that makes sense to me.

The people who say they're never interested in married men confuse me. Most movie stars are married. It is very unlikely that you will ever be involved on a personal level with any of these people. You're not going to break up their marriages. So why not be a fan? What drew you to them originally that somehow changed when they put on a wedding ring? I don't get it.

I voted Yes too. I loved his single status too. And he was my fantasy man.

I loved ER, watched every episode. But I have never been a big fan of his film work. He hasn't been in any of my favourite movies. 

I guess he could still be my fantasy man even if he was married. Sean Penn was my fantasy man for years ( you probably shouldn't read this Lorna). Not only is he one of the best actors in his generation but he is really hot as well. And I had no problem with him being married. I really like Robin Wright and I think she is a great actress. Another favourite of mine is  Russel Crowe, another family man, never bothered me either. I think I like to see both Sean and Russel as family men. 

But George is different, he is the Freedom Icon as Butterfly put it.I find it hard to accept him as a married man. And I can't identify myself with her. It bugs me that he choose her. Why couldn't he have chosen Sandra B  or someone that  I have more "sister" feelings for.  

And the fact they are doing this engagement and marriage in such a celebrity fashion bothers me.

I have been wondering lately if she will take some of the burden off of George.  I think he said he spends hours a day on his humanitarian efforts.  Maybe if she takes over some of those tasks it will free up more time to make movies!

And you might not want to read my response so I've covered it just in case you'd rather skip it.  :-)

Spoiler:

I certainly wouldn't put her in the same category as humanitarian, she's to busy representing war criminals and other scum.

 Well said Cece42, ..., that marriage won't last because of that.

Atalante wrote: Well said Cece42, ..., that marriage won't last beca

I don't know Atalante, he must know who she represents and is still marrying her, I hope he doesn't make excuses for her,that would make some people really go against him.

I wont lose interest in him, but neither will his print go back on my bedroom wall.

I started losing interest in George during the Stacy era. In fact, I only just saw Gravity last weekend on cable, and I saw Batman and Robin in the theater twice! He makes some odd decisions about his public relations, and I find him increasingly sanctimonious as he ages (one reason I am dreading Money Monster - the lecture tour by the son of a newsman on the state of journalism that will replace the press junket).  But I don't blame his relationships for any of this.  It's all George.  Maybe we're just getting to know him better because of the nature of media now as compared to when he first started.  And today's news that he might put his wedding in Vogue - we've reached full-Kardashian at this point.  

Now, Benedict Cumberbatch on the other hand....

I wasn't following Sean when he was married to Madonna. But  he certainly was a very angry young man who was drinking to much and being jealous and sexist.But I think Madonna also provoked him so this was a really crazy marriage to begin with.

 I don't condone men beating their women but I think Sean might have changed a bit since then and is drinking less. I hope at least. 

But he has a big ego and he is a control-freak and he sees women as sex objects.He is very charming but also a Neanderthal.

As the answer to the question in the thread title seems be moving to "Yes", what will happen to this forum
in the future ?

Re: Sean Penn, I think he's a misogynistic jerk too, but Charlize? She looks like she'd cut a b***h without a second thought, pardon my French.  Sean tries that nonsense on her and he might find himself short an appendage or two.

Absolutely nothing. As long as there's someone who wants to talk about George Clooney then the forum's here for them.

Joanna. I hope the Forum keeps going. I haven't lost interest in this place or in George either. He just pisses me of right now.

Missa. She did play Aileen Wournos convincingly.

I hope the forum keeps going, too. I'd miss the posters here more than I'd miss George news. He'll always be in the media so I can read about him in the papers or see him on tv and in the movies., but our COH friends are irreplaceable.

I have bad impression of Benedict Cumberbatch. He was doing some work relating supporting some Tibetan terrorists who want to divide our country. And if George is hanging around with Dalai Lama and supports his causes... I will lose my interest too. Dalai Lama is actually a criminal and I know George met him once but that was arranged by others and he was just there to accept an award. Hope he won't disappoint me.

Losing some of these LOL posts would be the worst result of everyone loses interest in George.  Maybe we can start a section for former fans to keep up with one another?

This is partly true Lizzy, so don't see as much in regular news papers and they are going out. Thought I would have to give up my George, but I cannot. Now I have to add Amal to my prayers also, what affect one affects both.

I will always love george, he is a beautiful man inside and out. Yes, in a way now that he will be getting hitched, the interest has died down. He is no longer a free spirt and will tamed by his wife to be. I love his as a person, he  a very special person put on earth. but married takes away from it all. I really do not like whom he is marrying but it does not matter what I like only what george wants. I will still see his movies and know he still is a beautiufl person, but marriage takes something away from me. bg

I don't know Lizzy...I guess human feelings cannot always be explained objectively. But, you have raised a good question - what drew me to him originally?   His charm and beauty.  

No, I will always be interested in George now I will be interested in his new life with Amal.

Katie, I think there should have been a third box.

Has the "New Changed George" made you loose interest.

I would have had no problem with 2012/13 George getting married, at that time it would have been Stacy.  Married is not the issue for me.

I think for many of us the problem is not the marriage, it's the woman he chose.

Yes, but the fun thing is that we are judging her but we don't even know who she is. We are accussing her of loving the fame and all the attention but how much we know about her to tell something like that? 

For me the problem is the marriage, he could have married someone else and we would have disagreed with his choice, because many of us don't like the fact that is going to get married.
