Gay Reporter Begs: 'Take Me,' Clooney

By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 9th 2009 10:26AM

One reporter put everything on the line to declare his love for actor George Clooney.

During a packed news conference at the Venice Film Festival, the man stripped to his boxer shorts and announced, "I am gay, George. Take me, choose me George, please. May I kiss you, just once?"

The actor responded with a smile, "It's hard when you take a big chance and it doesn't really work." See the video >>

Clooney was photographed earlier that morning -- introducing the world to his new girlfriend, Italian actress Elisabetta Canalis. (Check out PopEater's Guide to George Clooney's Brunette Gals.)

He has been attending the Venice Film Festival to present his new movie 'The Men Who Stare at Goats.'

Some very disturbing comments on here about gays. Before any of you idiots spread anymore of your filth, try enlightening yourselves and go to http://whosoever.org/bible/ and actually LEARN something. All you're doing is making yourselves look VERY STUPID to the rest of the world. And furthermore, George Clooney could easily be gay- I'm not saying he is, but anybody could be. Most gay men don't prance around speaking with a lisp you know- most gay men are just regular men who work on cars or play football or work construction. It's not disgusting- it's natural. The very notion that we're all supposed to be stimulated and turned on by the same thing is RIDICULOUS.

Publicity, publicity, publicity was it Bruno?

And you know, wife beaters, murderers, and child molesters are disgusting. But two consenting adults who give each other love is? Hmmm.... As a society we would easily rather see two men kill each other than kiss each other... Do you think Jesus would have that attitude? He never uttered one word about homosexuality.

It's disgusting and very scary how many homophobic people are still in this world. Wow. Don't you realize you're only showing your own stupidity? So it's alright to get married and divorced at the drop of a hat. It's alright to have 8 kids on welfare. It's alright to beat your wife and molest kids. But it's not alright to be attracted to the same sex? Huh? That's sickening- much more than two consenting adults giving each other love. WAke up people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
