George Clooney bio, dude
The big Hollywood icon had small beginnings. He was born on May 6, 1961 in Lexington, Kentucky. He is of mixed ethnicity – Irish, German and English descent. George Clooney grew up in a strict Catholic home, where he served as an acolyte from a young age. Ironically, his religious upbringing hasn’t affected his life because he once said he didn’t believe in God or heaven. However, he has not publicly denounced the Catholic faith, nor has he seen himself as an antagonist or an atheist.
He began his walk through the nature trails around Holy of Holies School in Kentucky. He attended St. Michaels Catholic School in Columbus, Ohio before dropping out of school and attending a public school – Western Row Elementary School in Ohio – and eventually enrolling at St. Susanna School in Mason.
His high school days at Augusta High were fun school as he was a baseball player and a basketball player. For college, George attended Northern Kentucky University, where he earned a degree in broadcast journalism and attended the University of Cincinnati.
George Clooney has insight into the business and has thrived there too. During his college days, he sold women’s shoes, did insurance marketing, stocked shelves, worked in construction, and also cut tobacco to make money.
