Why was he arrested?

ilikecandyandrunning · 16/03/2012 19:39

Oh Yabu by the way... I don't get the appeal of George Clooney at all

FlipFantasia · 16/03/2012 19:40

YAdefinitelyNBU - I didn't think I could heart George more...and then he goes and gets arrested for such a good cause!

GreatBallsOfFluff · 16/03/2012 19:42

YANBU He looks so yummy in those handcuffs Grin

purpleprudence · 16/03/2012 20:07

George Clooney in handcuffs - PERFECT

GrumpyCrossPatch · 16/03/2012 20:37

YADDDDDDNBU - he is truly divine.

HTH Grin

Faverolles · 16/03/2012 20:39

He may be in handcuffs, but he still prefers menz :(

Hassled · 16/03/2012 20:42

I think he wanted to be arrested, but I too love him just a little bit more. Here.

SauvignonBlanche · 16/03/2012 20:45

They shouldn't have handcuffed his Dad.

SparkyMcSparrow · 16/03/2012 20:45

YANBU!
George Clooney in handcuffs.....

OddBoots · 16/03/2012 20:45

Sounds like he might be a decent chap despite the Nespresso/Nestle adverts.

gilmoregirl · 16/03/2012 20:46

oh George (wistful sigh)

One of his best looks was him coming out of prison in oceans eleven wearing his tux

MrsTerryPratchett · 16/03/2012 20:49

He never seems to take any of his lady friends on these jaunts so I think it is strictly father/son activity. I did not spend quite a long time thinking about being in the back of a Police van with George, oh no I didn't.

roundtable · 16/03/2012 20:52

He doesn't make me swoon, but I do think he's luffly! Well done George!

GrumpyCrossPatch · 16/03/2012 21:01

Oh God MrsTerryPratchett I will be completely unable to think of anything other than being in the back of a police van with His Georgeness now. That's this weekend wasted....

MrsTerryPratchett · 16/03/2012 21:04

WASTED, how is that WASTED? Sounds like a fine weekend to me.

GrumpyCrossPatch · 16/03/2012 21:38

Sorry, was busy round the back of the van....

Ponyofdoom · 16/03/2012 21:43

I love him now, what a hero. How disgraceful to arrest him for a peaceful protest though..

MrsTerryPratchett · 16/03/2012 21:51

Ponyofdoom he wanted to be arrested. Look how the news has picked it up. The same week, he met with Obama over this and not a peep. Slap some handcuffs on him and he's all over the news.

crypes · 16/03/2012 21:59

Do you realise that by going on and on about how sexy he is and 'handcuffs' and stuff you are all belittling the important work he is doing and sabotaging the important political message his trying to get across! Its not a Holloywood film, he actually really did get arrested.

LadyFingers · 16/03/2012 22:01

George Cloony is so very gay I just can't lust after him. But HURRAH for George.

crypes · 16/03/2012 22:03

Gay! omg really? He seems to have a lot of girlfriends and a wrestler one.

MrsTerryPratchett · 16/03/2012 22:18

I don't think we are devaluing his work. I have banged on and on about Sudan and simultaneously fancy George Clooney. Young people don't get involved enough in politics and issues generally. One of the reasons is because it is not 'sexy'. Paris Hilton don't care, I don't care. George knows that his being an attractive film star is WHY he is useful to this cause. His father is the knowledgeable, committed one and George comes with him to raise awareness. Same reason Angelina works for the UN and so on.

I spent my entire childhood and teenage years talking to whoever would listen about Third World debt. Bloody Bono starts and it is immediately an important issue. However am I glad a bad musician got involved? Yes! Because now more people care.

Punkatheart · 16/03/2012 22:19

He is not a nice man at all - trust me on that. I have a very personal reason for hating the man. However, I do commend his work in Africa - even I can't criticise that.
