George Clooney Schools Paps on Driving

TMZ obtained video of George Clooney seriously scolding the paparazzi trying to photograph him while he drove his motorcycle through L.A. -- Georgie don't play that!


Clooney was accompanied by girlfriend Sarah Larson, and was so P.O.'d by the aggressive paps -- he pulled over to lash out at some who he said were cutting off other vehicles to get a good shot of him. George is a little touchy -- and who can blame him? He and Larson were involved in a New Jersey crash in September when they were hit while riding a motorcycle -- leaving George banged up and Sarah with a busted ankle.

Even when he's upset -- he's hot.

16. 'jersey boy', paps and celebrity or not, if you almost kill someone by cutting them off on a bike, do you still think this is justice? I ride a bike and someone once badly cut me off which resulted in me having a minor crash. I got up found the assh*le and then he flipped me off when I confronted them at the next light . I kicked through his driver's side window and pulled him out and Beat him up pretty good while telling him the error of his ways the entire time! No cops showed up and considering that we were stuck in traffic in rush hour, I was surprised that no one called them on me or took down my license. Never heard a word. I give props to G.C. for having better control than I did, but I don't regret my actions one bit! I feel sorry for him, because he should have had every right to make them both eat their own cameras!

17. George Clooney is an ugly-ass trump who has been in a midlife crisis for years.

18. Many, many Hollywood stars survived long before the current breed of paparazzi existed. So I don't buy that they need each other. One day they're (the photogs) going to kill someone. Oh wait that's already happened. I guess it needs to happen in America where the only thing they'll understand is $$$. Someone will have to sue a stupid photog and get everything they own before they learn to back the f#@k off!

19. Can't blame him. Unfortunately, one day someone's going to get killed. Again.

20. I think Clooney is an immature sleazebag. But I agree that the paps have gone too far. I think it's a little nuts for TMZ to post this, since they seem to be part of the pack that causes these confrontations. Wasn't it their videographer that provided the video?

I think George needs to stay home with the pole dancer if he doesn't want his picture taken. At the same time, he shouldn't have to fear for his life because someone's looking to make a buck. Really, what can TMZ show us that we haven't already seen? A pathetic, haggard, drunken Clooney and the newest pole dancer, porn actress, or ALLEGED prostitute that they've tagged as a "waitress". They all do the same things. He takes them all to the same places. They sleep in the filth that the previous "waitress" left. Nothing new. So what's with the car chases? If he finally decides to date a woman with even an ounce of class, then a photo might be warranted. But sleaze attracts sleaze so I really don't see that happening. Ever.

23. I love how TMZ always tries to make it sound like they aren't involved in these accidents...they sure do catch every accident that Brit has..

24. Woody, you are so right! Someone who cuts me off with my girlfriend on the back is just asking for their teeth to be knocked out! I wish he would have at least called the cops and filed a complaint against them. They at least deserved to have that happen to them. 'I'm sorry George" just won't cut it! They won't learn from that until they kill someone ala Diana Spencer! I'd be willing to go to jail to prove my point too!!!

25. George looked drunk, sounded drunk, likely was drunk. What were the paps thinking chasing a drunk driver around town? And again, Clooney thinks he can just put his hands on people whenever he feels like it. TMZ, go after him for assault. There is no video of your doing any wrongdoing. Just video of a drunk driver throwing a tantrum who then gets hit by George Clooney. Stop kissing his ass. Someone needs to put that little drunk in his place.

26. This is one of the reasons I LOVE him. I'd have done the same thing. And I live in his neighborhood and HATE to think that these reckless idots are going cause an accident.

27. George is right, the stalkerazzi endanger everyone on the road. They are a menace, and they deserve everything they get. You go, George!

28. It sounds like the paparazzo causing all the problems needs to learn how to drive.
Who was he? Maybe just a new guy on the streets with no experience or tact?!?
He's bringing the whole industry down!! Don't appologise, just leave the industry!

As for all the people hating on the paparazzi, WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT A CELEB NEWS SITE!!! These websites and magazines support the paparazzi. If you're joining in, u do to!

...and there's no reason why not! Its great fun and an integral part of the 'celeb industry'! Be it Film, TV or Music, It helps the industry stay interesting and its all free advertising for the products which these celebs earn their millions off of!

Thanks TMZ for keepin' the news real!

29. It's sad what happen to him and his girlfriend but I just hope it doesn't hurt his career with all this bad publicty which he has been getting recently. The People Choice Awards, the Oscars and movie premiers coming up soon. He needs to lay low because I really think he's a nice guy but I really hate to see his image destroyed.

30. I think George handled that pretty well. He was honestly just trying to reason with the pap, telling them that they don't need to be endangering people. He could have easily threw a fit like a lot of celebs when that pap get in their way (ala Cameron Diaz etc..) But George was totally cool. He let them know how he felt and he kept it reasonable. I like him more after seeing this. I also think it was cool of the pap to apologize. This is one of my favorite vids.
