Clooney is often referred to as the or one of the most eligible bachelors in the world.  He’s an Academy Award- and Golden Globe award-winning American actor, director, producer, and screenwriter.

George’s initial success came in the 80s. His first major was in 1984 in the television medical comedy-drama E/R. Though it took place in a hospital, it should not be confused with ER, which Clooney more famously starred in a decade later. Additionally, he played a handyman on the series The Facts of Life.

As for his personal life, George Clooney has been married once, to  Talia Balsam from 1989 to 1993. He says he will never get married again nor have any children, but Michelle Pfeiffer and Nicole Kidman each bet him $10,000 that he would be a father before he turned 40. They were both wrong, and each sent him a check. He returned the money, betting double or nothing that he won’t have kids by age 50.

Looks like he’s determined to stay unmarried but then again never say never when the right one comes along.
