George Clooney Reveals Roseanne Barr's Pickup Line

[Brian Damage]

Hand it to George Clooney: He's sexy, he's funny, and he's not afraid to share embarrassing stories about how Roseanne Bar hit on him.

The actor, who sat down with Rolling Stone movie critic Peter Travers Wednesday night at the Picture House Theater in Pelham, N.Y., following a screening of his latest movie Leatherheads, revealed secrets about his early days working for Barr on her sitcom Roseanne – as well as his thoughts on Paris Hilton and bombing at the box office (which, he readily acknowledges, Leatherheads did). Choice quotes below:


Roseanne on Clooney
Travers: "I have this quote (from TIME magazine) to read aloud from your former boss Roseanne Barr. 'He can drink too much and still while standing in a bar parking lot at 3 a.m. discuss the world with such passion and good sense that you actually stop imagining him nude.'"

Clooney: "Don't you want Roseanne writing your obit? I worked on her first series, and when I met her she said, 'You're really good looking, why don't you take me out behind the stage and make me stink.' She was unbelievably kind to me at a time when no one was."

I knew George had been on ER and Facts of Life, but I don't remember him being on Rosanne. Was he a character on the show or did he just work in the background?

He played Booker, in the beginning when Roseanne worked at the factory. He briefly dated Jackie (if you want to call it dating) and was their boss shortly on the show.
