Some handsome men are like diamond bracelets. they show up on some woman's arm, and you admire them, but they never really seem worth what youd have to pay. Others are like Swatches; cute, disposable and interchangeable. In this taxonomy GC is a heirloom
First he has the elegant patina of age.
Second, as a man and movie star, he's more of a talking point than a bauble.
Third and most crucially, if he's not yours already, short of murder, HE NEVER WILL BE
Onscreen (and by many reports off) Clooney 45 AND Hollywood's hardiest bachelor, is one of those guys whose charming to everyone and close to few ( 😭 )
If that is deliberate , its genius
Nothing makes a star plummet to earth quicker than overfamiliarity.
Its no accident that Clooney's most famous roles are men with a history. He plays a lot of ex-cons (Out of Sight, O'Brother Ocean's) and won Oscar for his portrayal of the controversial Robert Baer in Syriana
THIS IS A GUY WITH SECRETS 😳
Secrets the right woman-------- whom every woman in the audience thinks she is----------cud unpack
Frankly, with that air of mischief (which he earned) and those looks (which he didnt) he cud coast.
