Looking back at the great actors from the Golden Age of Hollywood - the stars like Clarke Gable and Spencer Tracey - and it's apparent how few A-list actors working today have quite the same sense of style and gravitas. George Clooney is one of the few who follows in their illustrious footsteps and brings a degree of class to his films. Clooney's effortless suave and sophistication is apparent in many of the films he's starred in - from the mediocre rom-coms all actors of his stature appear to be obliged to star in through to the textbook Ocean's heist movie franchise, few other actors quite manage to exude cool as well as Clooney. He may have apologised recently for his part in Joel Schumacher's much derided Batman And Robin but, on the whole, there's very little in the way of clunkers on his impressive filmography. Away from the mainstream fare his collaborations with the Coen brothers and Steven Soderbergh have seen him stretching into new acting styles as well. Perhaps the most surprising aspect to Clooney's career in the film industry is how talented he's proven himself to be behind the camera - admittedly The Monuments Men was something of a misfire, but Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind and Good Night, And Good Luck were remarkably assured films shot through with intelligence and style. But what of the man himself? The following list takes a look at ten things about George Clooney you probably didn't know.
