George Clooney screams from the rooftop his love for Amal .One can see how badly had the thunderbolt hit him .There is a lot to admire in Clooney.His looks and acting skills aside,his work on Darfur,his liberal democratic pronouncements (pretensions),his business acumen and the general air of a complete man he carries make him such a huge draw.There is hope that he will run for Presidency some day,or atleast for the office of the governor of Kentucky.He certainly comes across as very presidential in this chat with David Letterman.
Now David is a starry eyed fanboy of George,who has such
strong antecedents and curriculum vitae that its unnatural to not feel a little
mesmerised in his presence.But then the anchorman goes on to make too much of
Amal’s and George’s and his parents’ humanitarian work,esp. with refuges and in
particular with a Yezidi guy who the family has rescued from Iraq.Amal is
certainly a star.I dunt bet on Clooney making it big in American politics,but I
do have a feeling that we might see his British-Lebenese wife bagging a Nobel
or public office in UK one day.
Poor Georgie is hopelessly smitten,so much so that he
admitted that he wud gladly trade his life for hers because its more meaningful in real
terms.George also talks about the baseball ambitions of his childhood days,his
Irish Catholic guilt which might have goaded him towards humanitarian work,how
he started a tequila company and made millions out of it,and how Spielberg once
told him he cud be a movie star if he didn’t shake his head all the time.
This is not Letterman at his best,but Clooney’s story doesn’t
disappoint.It wud have been perfect if Amal had been there as well.
