Renée Zellweger Hot for George Clooney
Posted on December 4, 2007
Renée Zellweger recently talked about how handsome her “Leatherheads” co-star George Clooney is and calls him her “confidant.”
She said, “George is so handsome - even more so when he’s playing football with a bunch of 30-year-olds and out-running them on the pitch! He’s not just gorgeous though, he’s also my confidant. He tells me what he thinks and I want to know because I have so much respect for him.”
The pair - who were rumored to have dated in 2001 - have become so close that in a joint interview earlier this month Renée joked they had been “married for 28 years.” George then interrupted her to correct, “Actually it’s 27. We lived together the first year. There was a lot of fighting.” Renée, 38, later revealed they had really been friends for close to 10 years.
‘Leatherheads’ is a romantic comedy set in the 20s which sees George take on the role of brash American Football hero Jimmy ‘Dodge’ Connelly. Connelly is forced to compete with a younger teammate for the affections of hard-nosed reporter Lexie Littleton, played by Renée. “Leatherheads” is slated for release in 2008.
George serves as director and co-star. George Clooney also re-wrote the script, but the Writers Guild of America denied Clooney a screenplay credit.
Clooney told Entertainment Weekly, “With any luck, we set up a few classic sports moments and then sort of poop all over them. That’s our hope. Our hope is that every time you think it’s going to get really sappy for a second, we turn it on its ear.”
