George Clooney has been voted Sexiest Man Alive for the second time by People magazine. "There's a lot of pressure," Clooney says of the title. "There are all the events you have to show up for. The sash you have to wear...it's embarrassing." A few excerpts from the cover story's accompanying interview:
On whether he'll ever have children: "I think it's the most responsible thing you can do, to have kids. It's not something to be taken lightly. I don't have that gene that people have to replicate. But everything in my life has changed over time."
On his vow to "never marry again": "The truth is, I haven't softened my position on anything, but it's not something I deal with on a regular basis. Who knows? I've been married. It's not something I'm looking out for. The truth is, I'm really happy."
On what he finds attractive: "Everybody says this, but sense of humor is No. 1 for me. it's certainly what's most attractive. It's not the first thing you notice at 21, but it's the first thing you notice now."
On being named Sexiest Man Alive again: "This one's going to be hard for Brad since he's been Sexiest Man Alive twice. He's enjoyed that mantle. I'd say 'Sexiest Man Alive' to him and he'd go, 'Two-time.' So that's been taken away. We used to call him Two Time. So Brad's going to be upset."
