Fifty, fabulous and ready for road
It’s part of what makes him such a pleasant and relaxed interviewee, quick with the self-effacing jokes, interested in the wider world beyond where he now sits, at home in his own skin.
At 50, he is ageing beautifully and has more mischief in him than people half his age. If all the charm, the intelligence, the wit and the chivalry is an act — which, after interviewing him six times, I don’t believe it is — it’s a damn good one. What you see with George Timothy Clooney is what you get.
