Biography of George Clooney
One of the most attractive men of our time, George Clooney is an Oscar-winning actor who won fame with his roles as Dr Doug Ross in the TV series “Ambulance” and Danny Ocean in the film “Eleven Ocean’s Friends.”
Early years
George Timothy Clooney was born on May 6, 1961 in Lexington, Kentucky, USA. His father, Nick, has been a TV star and news anchor for many years.
In connection with the specifics of his father’s work, George and his older sister, Ada, often travel with their parents from place to place, traveling to the states of Kentucky and Ohio. In 1974, they finally settle in the small town of Augusta, Kentucky.
There, despite the fame of his father, Clooney leads a rather modest life. The boy grew up in a very friendly family.
For the first time George appears on the screens at the age of five, playing the heroes of a local talk show that his father leads. However, in high school acting skills he has to
Passion for acting
At school, playing sports interested George much more books, but still he was good at learning. A great baseball player, Clooney, at the age of 16, even goes to the professional team of the “Cincinnati Reds”.
Soon George goes to college for the faculty of television journalism. However, not finding out the qualities necessary for this profession, and also not being able to withstand constant comparisons with his father, he leaves studies.
For a while Clooney lingers in Cincinnati, doing everything she had to do. One day, when he was collecting tobacco leaves on the field, his cousin Miguel Ferrer called him. Miguel with his father just shot a film about horse racing in Kentucky, and invited his brother to recall the old days. The film did not appear on the screens, but the old passion for acting again returns to George.

In Hollywood, Clooney works all the time, but he lives in anticipation of a big breakthrough.
Great Breakthrough
Everything changes in 1994, when Clooney is confirmed for the role of Dr. Doug Ross, attentive pediatrician and heartthrob, in the medical drama of NBC’s “First Aid” TV channel.

It is shot and in the tape Terrence Malik’s “Thin red line.”
In 1999, Clooney returned to the “First Aid”, since this time, fully committed to the world of cinema.
Elite of Hollywood
In 2001 Clooney is removed from Steven Soderbergh in the new version of “Ocean’s Eleven”. The picture is such a success – both during and after rental – that this is followed by two consecutive extensions: “Ocean’s Twelve” and “Ocean’s Thirteen.”
In 2002, Cluny’s directorial debut with the film “Confessions of a Dangerous Man” took place. However, his box office was not very high, and he did not arouse the interest of critics.
In 2005, Clooney receives an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in the film “Sirian”, in which he also acts as a producer. In the same year, the actor was nominated for a prize and with another significant project, “Good Night and Good Luck”, in which he not only directed the film, but also co-wrote the script, describing, in part, his father’s experience.

In the same year Clooney brilliantly performs the main role in the family drama “Descendants.” For the role of husband and father, who has to cope with the challenges of fate and put up with unpleasant discoveries after his wife is seriously injured in an accident on the water, the actor receives the Golden Globe Award.
In 2013, Clooney receives the American Academy Award for the “Argo” tape – the production of the book by former CIA agent Tony Mendez “Master of Reincarnation” and Joshua Bearman’s article in the magazine “Wired” titled “The Great Escape”.
Political campaigns
The ardent liberal Clooney often becomes a target for attacks on the part of right-wing politicians. The actor was one of the first who opposed the war in Iraq.
In 2006, Clooney, along with his father and several friends, travels across the western part of the Sudan known as Darfur, filming the destruction caused by the fighting and the desperate attempts of the world community to create camps for refugees affected by the war.
In 2007, at the 8th Annual International Summit of Nobel Laureates, winners of the Peace Prize, Clooney was awarded the International Summit Prize. Next year he is officially appointed as the UN Goodwill Ambassador.
Personal life
Clooney was married to American actress Talia Bolss. The marriage was short-lived, and, after the divorce, Cluny swears that he will never lead a family or children.
In 2011, he begins to meet with American actress Stacey Keibler. But two years later, in 2013, a message appears that the couple broke up.
In April 2014, Clooney, whom the tabloid dubbed “Hollywood’s most bachelor bachelor”, makes the offer of 36-year-old Amal Alamuddin – an Englishwoman of Lebanese descent, a human rights lawyer engaged in such high-profile cases as, for example, the case of the founder of “Wikileaks” Julian Assange.
