Clooney plays with us, we love it

There are gays that like twinks, and there are gays that like a more mature gentleman.

Mr George Clooney, of course, is one of the most attractive 'older' men there is, and this week he has commented on rumours he might be a friend of Dorothy.

But not for our George the angry denial. The notorious ladies man joked with Esquire magazine that he is "gay gay" but not "gay gay gay."

"I show him a site called "George Clooney is GAY GAY GAY."

"Clooney starts to read:

"George Clooney's life parallels Rock Hudson's way too much to be a coincidence. He was married once to some unknown actress --

"He breaks off: "No, Talia is not unknown. She's actually very successful. . . ."

"He keeps reading:

"He dates beautiful women and nothing happens and they disappear into oblivion.

"That's because I eat them."

"So . . . any truth to this?

"No. I'm gay, gay. The third gay -- that was pushing it."

Clooney, 46, who is starring in the upcoming Leatherheads, which he also directed, produced and wrote, has long been a supporter of liberal causes such as gay marriage.

He also voiced a gay dog for South Park. 

He is a United Nations envoy.

Earlier this year he missed out on the Oscar for Best Actor for Michael Clayton (pictured).
