George Clooney claims not to be the World's Sexiest Man

Is there anyone who doesn't like George Clooney? Clooney: grooming a new generation

I mean in the week leading up to our interview with him for his new film Leatherheads, everyone I've spoken to has either said 'Oh, he seems like a nice guy' (if they're male) or they've dribbled, gone weak at the knees and fallen flat onto the floor (if they're female).

Even as I sit with my fellow journalists in a hotel room waiting to speak to him we're all getting pretty excited. And we're journalists, we're meant to be bitter and cynical, not excited.
