Back in the day, George Clooney worked on Rosanne Barr’s sitcom. He wasn’t quite so hot then – he had sort of a pillowy, Farrah Fawcett -esq hairdo going on – but he was still George Clooney, which means he could still make the ladies want to drop their panties. George has been doing some last-minute promotion for his box office failure Leatherheads, and gave a pretty funny interview to Rolling Stone where he talked about his early acting experiences.
Hand it to George Clooney: He’s sexy, he’s funny, and he’s not afraid to share embarrassing stories about how Roseanne Bar hit on him. The actor, who sat down with Rolling Stone movie critic Peter Travers Wednesday night at the Picture House Theater in Pelham, N.Y., following a screening of his latest movie Leatherheads, revealed secrets about his early days working for Barr on her sitcom Roseanne – as well as his thoughts on Paris Hilton and bombing at the box office (which, he readily acknowledges, Leatherheads did). Choice quotes below:
Travers: “I have this quote (from TIME magazine) to read aloud from your former boss Roseanne Barr. ‘He can drink too much and still while standing in a bar parking lot at 3 a.m. discuss the world with such passion and good sense that you actually stop imagining him nude.'”
Clooney: “Don’t you want Roseanne writing your obit? I worked on her first series, and when I met her she said, ‘You’re really good looking, why don’t you take me out behind the stage and make me stink.’ She was unbelievably kind to me at a time when no one was.”

That’s… um… quite the quote. I don’t think there’s anything I could say about it that wouldn’t be wildly, wildly inappropriate. Not that that would generally stop me… but I think it’s raunchy enough that we don’t need to add anything to it. No word on if the Cloons actually took Rosanne out behind the Warner Brothers lot. But I’m guessing that if he’s sharing the story… and he got the job… he must have gone the way of the casting couch.

She don’t need George to stink,,all she has to do is sing the National Anthem. There are a lot of haters of George on this site,,mostly the same critical women who dont miss a chance to comment on EVERY story posted on this great site. I won’t give them credit by naming them but George is the ideal man to the rest of us men. Dates young sexy chicks,,loaded with cash, toys and homes,,,not to high and mighty to laugh at himself and as demonstrated in this article,,always has a classy, humorous, response to interview questons…YEAH BOOOOOOY (in a flava flav voice).
This particular critical woman is very fond of George actaully Kevin, he is wise and thoughtful and strong. And I don’t find him all that attractive but its always odd when everyone is supposed to like a certain celebrity, like you have no choice. George is ok by me…
His looks freak me out because he looks JUST like my brother. But I love his sense of humour and wit, so were I to ever have the chance, I’d take it for some pillow giggles, but he’d have to have a bag over his head.
😯 …threw up a little in my mouth there…. 😳
sexy man.
His interviews are always fun to read. His photos are always yummy to look at. His movies sometimes are good, sometimes not.
However, he needs to change the “girlfriend” soon. This accessory he carries everywhere bothers me because she actually talks!
as someone who comments waaaay too much, i’d like to point out that i like george. (i keep trying to comment less, but it’s like crack, very addictive.)
He’s good to his friends, and doesn’t try and hurt anybody. Yep he sounds terrible to me.
What happened to nut lady, still must me working th drive thru. 😉
Hey Wif….Where’s that brother of yours live? 😀
thanx
Casting couch? No, instead this appears to be a classic example of on-set flirting… and it’s Roseanne fer christs sake! She was putting it gently to the handsome young George, so to say.
Any person with brains, looks, talent and a little cash will always be an easy mark for the insecure and bitter. Hollywood could benefit greatly from a few more Clooney’s and his understated grace, wit and eloquence.

I love George Clooney! I think he’s a talented actor, and he’s attractive in that older guy sort of way.
Plus, I know someone who worked as his personal assistant, and he’s really a sweetheart in real-life. He sends her flowers on her birthday, and he’s donated autographed group shots from various films for a charity that she’s involved in.
Plus, he interviews amazingly well. Which is either a sign that he is just that good about not over-sharing (a rare gift in Hollywood), or he has a great PR person. You never hear him say anything bad about other people. That is extremely cool.
