At 46, he's the most frequent winner of the 'Sexiest Man Alive' title, a staunch activist and liberal crusader, an on-screen superhero and crook -- who happens to also be a talented director specialising in strong and visibly political, moralistic cinema.
Also note: one of the highest paid stars in the universe frequently acts in films without paychecks.
His name is George Clooney, and the Oscar-winning actor and filmmaker is up for Best Actor this year for his superlative work in Tony Gilroy's Michael Clayton.
He's a star for the ages and -- eat your heart out, Cary Grant *wink* -- here's looking at you, George Clooney. Salut.
