George Clooney News: Actor Blasts Outlet For Fabricated Interview About His Wife Amal Clooney [VIDEO]
While there's no doubt that George Clooney is used to all the tabloid coverage he gets in the media these days, he surely didn't expect this.
Apparently, one media outlet totally fabricated an interview with the actor in which he supposedly talked about how he first fell in love with his wife Amal. Yet, the entire thing was made up.
According to Page Six on Friday, Clooney says that Hello! Magazine ran a fake interview with him with quotes that he never made. And while this is nothing new in the online gossip world, it does have him worried.
In the interview, George supposedly talked about how much he loved his wife Amal and how he first fell in love with her nearly two years ago.
"Hello Magazine has printed an 'EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW' with me that has been widely picked up and reprinted," Clooney said in a statement released Friday. "Outlets like Vanity Fair, Marie Claire, The Sun, and The Evening Standard have all printed my exclusive interview and credited Hello Magazine. The problem is that I have not given an interview to Hello Magazine and the quotes attributed to me are not accurate."
He continued, "In my experience, being misquoted is not unusual but to have an 'exclusive interview' completely fabricated is something new. And a very disturbing trend."
Hello! on their part apologized for the embarrassing faux pas.
They released a statement reading, "We apologize unreservedly to Mr Clooney and his wife Amal for any distress that publication of this piece may have caused them and further apologize for conveying the impression that he had given an exclusive interview to HELLO!"
