After WWD reported the circulation of an oddly worded, unverifiable email announcing the upcoming Italian launch of GC Exclusive, a line of Clooney-approved luxury clothing and accessories, the Oscar winner took care to ensure would-be shoppers that the announcement was about as real as Christy Turlington's fur coat.
"This is a hoax," the Michael Clayton star said in a statement released Monday by his rep. "I have no connection whatsoever with any clothing line bearing my name, and more specifically 'GC Exclusive by George Clooney.' "
First off, how dare they (whoever they are) suggest he spends any time whatsoever doing something other than acting, directing, raising money for Darfur or debunking the myth behind the man?
Perhaps even more important: So sorry to all the ladies out there who were more than ready to coat themselves in Clooney this fall.
