CLOONEY: 'THIS HAS BEEN THE WORST YEAR OF MY LIFE'
Lake Titicaca | Today | Brainhose

Posted on 11/26/2005 5:01:33 AM PST by Brainhose

GEORGE CLOONEY has declared the past 12 months to be the worst year of his life, after dealing with death, depression and health problems.

Among his long list of woes, the 44-year-old actor had to deal with painful spinal damage after gaining a huge amount of weight for his role in his latest movie SYRIANA.

He says, "When I started the movie I had gone through a series of sort of unhappy times. Some bad things had happened in my life and it's also depressing to put on that much weight that quickly. I did it in 30 days.

"So I was really sort of reflecting what I was going through in a way. It wasn't a lot of acting, it was just sort of me playing a part I wasn't very happy in and I wasn't very happy at the time either.

"On my way to Morocco (where Syriana was filmed), leaving my house, there was a rattlesnake wrapped around my dog with its teeth in the back of his head. I had to get a baseball bat and beat the snake until it let go, but it killed the dog. That was the last thing the dog saw, me beating a snake with a bat.

"It was just one thing after another too. My brother-in-law, who was 46 years old, stood up and had a heart attack and died.

"My dad was running for an election that he lost in the middle of this shoot and stuff like that. So it felt like I was having a bad year."

Yeah, George there are years like that, My bad year was 1984. I'll put my bad year up against your bad year and I'll win hands down but I didn't make millions that year play acting in a @#$%^&* movie.

I don't want to preach to anyone, but Georgie, have you heard of Karma? Maybe if you started living a better life all these bad things wouldn't happen to you. And when they did, maybe you'd be better able to deal with them. JMHO.

Boo freakin hoo....go isolate in your Lake Como mansion ...that'll help a bit. I just can't stand Clooney. His little boy coyness just doesn't cut it anymore for me. GROW UP. Here's a newsflash for ya Geogie...Success means nothing unless you have somebody you love to share it with.

It's funny that you mention your "bad year". When I speak with others about good and bad times I often hear about the bad year. I think I'll start a thread about it in chat in order to get some feedback.

Thank you.

----Does he still have that pot-belly pig he had? I remember him saying it was a better companion than a wife would be when asked if he would get married.
