Cover story: George Clooney The media may be more interested in his love life than his film career but the Hollywood A-Iister cares passionately about his work. He talks to Kaleem Aftab about politics, how he reconciles making movies with a 98 CLASS'F'ED conscience with doing adverts for Nestle and his new role as a jaded former criminal attorney in thriller Michael Clayton.
