Do not adjust your computer screen - you really are looking at one of the most handsome men in the world today. This should be the photo that gives hope to anybody who considers themselves to be something of an ugly duckling during their school years. Everything that Clooney could get wrong in this picture, he got wrong. His hairstyle seems to be two different things at once - neither of which are working for him - and he looks like he borrowed the glasses from his mother. We can be fairly sure that girls at Clooney's school weren't as interested in him as they are now!
We all know how this story ended for Clooney. He shot to fame as a gorgeous doctor in E.R., got picked up by Hollywood to make movies, and even ended up wearing the famous Batman outfit once - although that film didn't quite turn out the way he wanted to. These days he's as busy behind the camera as he is in front of it, and is the suave, sophisticated face of the 'Oceans' series of movies.
