The actor says that the planet is "infinitely more complicated" than in the past, and no longer know who your enemies are and who their allies. Just do seem to understand much more the Lebanese reality thanks to his wife Amal, who was born there.

After a decade of working in television series playing minor roles, the actor George Clooney shot to stardom with his portrayal of a friendly but troubled doctor pediatrician, Dr. Doug Ross on the hit series, ER (NBC 1994) .

With his newfound fame, Clooney went to the movies when I was still in ER, and quickly became one of the great stars of Hollywood with starring roles in "From Dusk Till Dawn" (1996), "Batman & Robin" (1997 ) and "Out of Sight" (1998).

When he left the television studios for the big screen, Clooney went from being a movie star one of the prominent actors of his time, emulating actors like Cary Grant or Clark Gable, while transformed into winning the precious Oscar and Golden Globes. also risked as director and is today a socially conscientious activist.

Renowned for its singleness up to finally case- by having previously failed as a husband. Clooney had many female friends during his career, although it was difficult for him to have these relationships for their celebrity status.

While its success is enormous, Clooney was not a victim of his fame.

Never wear makeup when shooting, he cut his hair and refuses surgically alter their appearance.

Clooney has managed to be faithful to his ideals, as he struggles to keep his face in the same way as when he was not famous.

Clooney was born May 6, 1961 in Lexington, Kentucky.

He married on 27 September 2014 with Amal Clooney, a lawyer for Human Rights. His family is from Lebanon.

DIARIO POPULAR achieved an exclusive interview for the readers of Argentina, which was in an office of the Disney studios in Burbank, California, where Clooney had finished filming "Money Monster" with Julia Roberts, directed by Jodie Foster.

You in the past, as in "Syriana" (2005), explored the main leaders of the Middle East, do you have connections with that world? (laughs).


 'What are you talking about? (Laughter).

Since you got married, I guess your perception of that world has changed, right? (nr: Clooney married a Lebanese lawyer and became a British citizen).

Well, I understand less and less think we all understand and that world is infinitely more complicated than I thought. We have seen that there are forces competing against each other and that our allies are also friends with our enemies, and our enemies are our allies and friends try to understand everything that is great confusion.

What do you think?

'I think we all have difficult times, and we see places in this world that are on fire right now. You turn on the TV and see that we are now having a very difficult time and it will take time to resolve. Amal and I talked almost daily about what is happening in Syria, and it is compounded with what is happening in Ukraine and there are problems in other parts of the world.

What about Lebanon?

Now I have a better understanding of the Lebanese culture. Let me tell you that all is. We had a second party after our wedding and the Lebanese culture. Let me tell you that all is. We had a second party after our wedding and only for Lebanese (laughs), and I can tell you that there are hundreds of them. Lebanese are a great family. So now I have a complete family. It's actually something splendid.

Can you cook?

-Yes. I'm a decent cook and "chef". Listen, I was a single guy for long. I know how to cook. I know how to make a good pasta because I spent some time in Italy and do all kinds of pasta, good breakfasts I prepare and I am a great cook dinner for Thanksgiving (NR: Thanksgiving, whose main dish is turkey).

Does your fashion sense has changed since your marriage? Who pays for your wardrobe?

Well, she is a person and paid for most of his clothes, although there are designers that give the dresses, because they want their names known. But since I met Amal has its own sense of style and have clothes you love to dress and know exactly where they are. It has a great sense of style. Yes, he looks at me confused about my sense of style (laughs). Sometimes I tell me if I will reuse the shirt with the inscription saying Tequila. I answer yes because I'm selling Tequila (laughs). It's funny because out of the house, are always about 30 guys with cameras (paparazzi) who follow me and remind me that I have already photographed with the same shirt. I tell them, "If you stand outside my house, you are going to sell Tequila for me (laughs).

Speaking of fashion, tuxedo used the other night at the Metropolitan Opera House function, I saw you very elegant.

'I have to say something, and that was the only time in my life I dressed with white bow and tail, and I think I'll never use (laughs). Putting it takes a long time and also time to get it out


Why do you think that is so popular?

I do not know, but now I think my wife (laughs). We were in the same hotel as Mick Jagger who was staying at the same hotel and there were many photographers. We waited for him and we leave quietly. But they followed us. I told them all, and my wife recommended him to get dressed in less elegant way (laughs).

They published the Interview today but didn't we read that before?

It does seem familiar.  Ive definitely heard the Mick Jagger reference before.  George gets asked the same questions by a number of press outlets and he tends to give the same answers so it's hard to tell.  I just wish these translations could get the pronouns right.  I'm always confused who is being referred to .......

that's funny! so both Amal and the paps have had enough of his Casamigos shirts and George knows that... Stubborn boy!

Donnamarie, the pronouns are my favorite part of Google translations. They make articles with lots of rehashed information like this one worth reading because they're hilarious! Re-read the paragraph "Does you fashion sense has changed since your marriage? Who pays for your wardrobe?" (Keeping in mind that they're talking to George.) Don't worry about who they're talking about - just try to figure out what they're talking about. My reaction, after I stopped laughing, was "WTF?".

WTF is an understatement.  In two sentences Amal is referred to as an "it".  In the next sentence speaking of Amal "he looks at me confused .....".  And then George must be talking to himself - "Sometimes I tell me if I will reuse the shirt.....".  "And I answer yes".  The man is obviously talking to himself now.  Poor George!
