Dang. I've seen some pix of George looking all silver and grizzled, but this is the first time I've really seen him looking downright old. I think it's cause his pants look too big. Like he's getting old-man skinny. He is in Italy right now, the home of some of the most awesome food on the planet, so hopefully, he'll get around to eating while he's there. Or maybe he just lost his appetite when asked recently by a reporter about his upcoming Nestle TV commercials. The journalist was among a group of press, who were chatting with George about his film at the festival, Michael Clayton, and decided to quiz the the actor on his choice to star in the TV ads. George, not amused, responded by saying:
"I'm not going to apologise to you for trying to make a living every once in a while. I find that an irritating question."Oh my God, I can totally understand him getting peeved by being asked that, but seriously, he's even starting to sound like an angry, skinny, old man. I wish he would have called someone a "whipper-snapper."

More photos of George Clooney hanging with some fans after the jump.

this is clear evidence that this dude is either on smack or crack. rumors have been around for years, but with the way he looks here, i don't doubt it at all.
Kate says:
I'm just sorry the reporter didn't ask Clooney why he has chosen to represent a company that has been heavily criticised by the World Health Organisation for their immoral practises in developing and third world countries. http://endevil.com/blacklist.html

Crack is whack George....
Nancy says:
It may not necessarily be drugs. The was a photo a few weeks ago of George with a new, rather large scar across is stomach (check the archives of crazydaysand nights.net). My guess is he had surgery and we are witnessing the after effects. He's lost more weight since Cannes, so I don't think its a drug problem.
janbo says:
My thoughts exactly, Kate. Wonder what his buddy, eco and human rights minded Brad would have to say about George's affiliation with Nestle?
Kate says:
@Janbo: With the amount of jet fuel that Brad eats up, he really wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

"I wish he would have called someone a 'whipper-snapper.'" God, I'm still giggling!
skinny fat says:
George doesn't look so good. Makes me sad. Very very sad.
green cardigan says:
He looks alright to me. Maybe a little worn out and thin, but otherwise fine. I'm sure he has a crazy work schedule and he seems to travel a lot.
I also like that he has let his hair go grey like that without doing a nasty Grecian 2000 job on it.
kellie says:
He looks a little like Anthony Bourdain with a beard in the first photo.
Lolly says:
Oh my gawd - I actually started giggling out loud reading this. I don't even know why. Perfect writing, my friend. It's over 90 F'g degrees, I'm 9 months pregnant, feet up in a chair, miserable, and you got me laughing. Holy Shiz - you rule. Thank you!
Ms Diva says:
WOW :O George looks exactly like my Father. I'm being serious.. same hair, same beard, same build. That being said, my Dad is 51! This makes me sad too! I guess at least he's not one of those celebs.. you know, with the plastic face.lol...I used to have the biggest crush on GC back in the day... sigh :(
ZeldaF says:
He's just living La Dolce Vita!!! So many Italians are really, really, really thin. Thin is in! I've been to Italy many times, and always feel like an Amazon next to those people. Don't get me wrong, I JUST LOVE GLI ITALIANI, but they are pretty thin! I think George is just, fitting in. When in Roma! Further to which, I'd still LOVE to see his grizzled ass climbing thru my window any time!!!

Next thing he'll say... Get off my lawn!

He looks like Billy Bob Thornton.

Clooney should have told them to get the fuck off his lawn.
