Who: Actor with a conscience
Why: Recently voted 'sexiest man alive', the man monikered Gorgeous George the world over is a sworn bachelor, which either means he understands women far too well, or not at all. What he does know is how to make even sensible women go wobbly at the knees, and he has a startlingly cross-generational appeal. He's been linked to a bevy of leading ladies but has no intention of settling down. Nicole Kidman and Michelle Pfeiffer famously bet him $10,000 that he would be a dad by 40 - on losing they paid up but Clooney bet double or nothing he wouldn't be a dad by 50 either. Recently he's moved away from blockbusters, to issue-raising films like Syriana, produced by his own company, something which only makes him more appealing.
He says: When asked if he would go into politics he joked, 'Me? Run for office? No, I've slept with too many women, done too many drugs.'
