Clooney + Car Door = Broken Hand

By PopEater Staff Posted Aug 27th 2009 04:40PM

George Clooney is on the mend following a self-inflicted car mishap that broke the Oscar-winner's hand.

Clooney accidentally slammed his hand in a car door, his rep Stan Rosenfield tells PEOPLE. According to Rosenfield, Clooney was "on his property in Italy and he shut the car door on his hand," tackling rumors in the European media that the 'Michael Clayton' star crashed his Harley Davidson.

"He was not riding a motorcycle, it was not in Switzerland," Rosenfield says.

After a brief visit with an Italian doctor, Clooney was on his way. "The doctor has given him 30-40 years more to live, and no live animals were harmed during the wrapping of the hand," Rosenfield joked.

This isn't the first time Clooney has been in an automobile-related accident in recent years. In 2007, his motorcycle collided with a car in New Jersey, injuring both Clooney and his then-girlfriend Sarah Larson.

When the article quoted the rep as saying "30 or 40 years to live" I looked to see how old George Clooney was - and no age was listed in the article.

Why do they always list the ages for women, but never for men?

George was born in 1961..Do the math..lol

By Brandy

Whoa, are you sure about the "being born in 1961"? If so, he's the oldest 48 year-old I've seen. Really, that's neither here nor there. But trying to make people believe he closed his hand in the car door! Who does that? Toddlers, perhaps. Why even submit a story that is just lunacy? Are we really considered that stupid? Next time, just say it's none of our @##@*&% business.

A broken hand is hardly a health "scare." Cancer, heart attack, loss of limb, but a broken hand? George Clooney is still alive and healthy, isn't he? Thou doest over-emote too much.

By lois8712

Brandy...Yes, he is 48. I did look it up. And, I had my hand closed in a car door once, but I didn't do it..lol

WOW Brandy you have not seen many 48 year olds in your life have u.. And who cares if he slammed his hand in a car door I have done it... BUT HE IS CLOONEY the best looking man on earth and I will challenge anyone on that one.... He is sexy, confident and more than anything else he has Charisma which is something that most actors lack...
