George Clooney

George Clooney has admitted that it was hard growing up with a famous father because everybody recognized him.

As a local TV newsman in Ohio and Kentucky, Nick Clooney and her family were know by everyone. This wasn't so great when George got struck down with Bell's palsy, a form of facial paralysis.

"You have to remember that in the microcosm of Cincinnati, Ohio through northern Kentucky, my father was a big, big star. So that made my sister and me really visible.

"Everybody knew us, talked about us. If I scored 15 points in a basketball game, the paper would say 'Nick Clooney's son scored 15 points.'

"It was very awkward, being watched like that, everybody looking at us, and then all of a sudden your face goes flat? My dad would always say, 'It's going to go away, you'll be fine, you can handle it.' But it was a tricky thing. So, you develop a better personality and learn how to make jokes about it."

Talking about his relationship with former wrestler Stacy Keibler, he insisted that he doesn't mind her regular Twitter updates, which often allude to their romance.

"She can do whatever she wants," he told Rolling Stone magazine. "I rarely tell anybody what they should be doing with their life."
