Hollywood is no match for the simple delights of Italy, George Clooney has confirmed. The Hollywood hunk credits buying his house in Lake Como with changing his life for the better.
Says the ‘Up in the Air’ actor, “What changed my life in a very pleasant and unexpected way was buying the villa in Laglio. That was a pure investment decision – I thought I would maybe spend a few weeks vacationing there. But then I realised how beautiful life was in Italy and how it really helped calm me and not feel so pressured.”
Eternal bachelor George, who’s been dating Italian television presenter Elisabetta Canalis for over a year, also says life in Italy has changed his priorities. “I was working so hard on my film projects that for a time I basically didn’t even think very much about how my personal life was evolving.
“Now, I still feel I haven’t done my best work although I’ve at least put myself in a position where I can keep doing what I love and enjoy the process. I even have a bit of a personal life these days. I don’t want to make anyone sick but things are going pretty well for me.”
