not for public recognition my arse! It's all about them these celebrity tards. I'm sure he'll fume over this one for a while.

I've never seen him in anything except for maybe one or two 1 minute news bites and that was 4 years ago.

George hops on his motorcycle and tries to figure out where to go. I got it! I'll go annoy some old Italian people who never heard of me.

DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM!

George Clooney? Sorry, never heard of him

Yeah. When his last name annexed his middle initial, it caused some confusion. See if this looks more familiar:

George C. Looney

I find his political activity to be seriously annoying, but he's recovered some of my respect if he's been doing this kind of visitation of the elderly for a while now.

Considering what life must be like in a old folks home, I think what he was doing was pretty admirable.

The Ocean's Eleven star has spent hours chatting to pensioners and giving them DVDs and videos of classic films and his own blockbusters.

Well, I don't like the guy at all, but this is pretty darn nice of him. It must really give these folks a thrill, as Clooney's types of TV shows compose the majority of their exposure to the outside world and entertainment.

Awww, I think that is sweet for him to do that. Maybe I could make George my own personal project to straigten him out. wink wink!

BS I bet his publicist released this thinking it would seem cute and a feel good plus for the idiot.

Anyone who goes to visit strangers at an old aged home deserves respect. And the fact that it hasn't been publicised deserves even more.

If you've never been to one of those places to visit a relative, it's hard to put into words how depressing they can be. I understand that many people simply aren't able to give the sort of care that many elderly need, and really don't have any choice. But the places often feel as if they're "parking lots" for people just waiting to die. I know that when my mother could no longer care for my grandfather at home, he needed to go to one of those places for the care he needed, and he deteriorated very quickly. And just recently, when an 85 year old Aunt needed to go to one, just for a short time - not permanent - to recover from an operation, she didn't seem to understand that it was only going to be for a few weeks, she seemed to lose her will to live, and died in less than 3 weeks.

These places can be SO depressing, and there are so many lonely people there. Any relief, especially from someone they may know of, is most welcome.

As I said, George Clooney has won some new found respect from me. While I still disagree with his politics, I'll say it here: "George Clooney is doing some good in the world!"

It won't be too long until good old George is in a nursing home himself. Maybe we can all go see him.

If it was so important to do this in secret, then HOW did this story get in the Daily Telegraph?

This narcissist is ALL about publicity and trying to win back some respect. Looks like some here have fallen for it.
