He's been looking leaner at recent appearances -- but look what's under his shirt!
That's last year's "Sexiest Man Alive," George Clooney, on his powerboat in Lake Como, Italy, where the sexbomb owns a villa.
The Hollywood hunk gained 35 pounds on a pasta-heavy diet for his Oscar-winning role in Syriana ... three years ago. Looks like Georgie still has some toning work to do.

George Clooney, who may be giving speeches again at next month's Academy Awards, says he has no regrets about making an off-color joke about disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff during last month's Golden Globes.
"I make no apologies for that -- it was a joke," Clooney told CNN's Larry King on Thursday.
The actor-director made a risque reference to Abramoff's name as he accepted a best supporting actor Golden Globe for "Syriana." Clooney is nominated for Oscars for best supporting actor for "Syriana" and best director for "Good Night, and Good Luck." He also shares a best original screenplay nomination with Grant Heslov for the latter film.
Abramoff's father, who didn't find the Golden Globes joke funny, wrote an angry letter to The Desert Sun newspaper of Palm Springs. He denounced Clooney for a "glib and ridiculous" attack on his son that he said reduced his granddaughter to tears.

He has three nominations, but George Clooney doesn't expect to win any Oscars this year. Clooney is a directing and screenplay nominee for "Good Night, and Good Luck" and a supporting-actor nominee for the provocative oil-industry thriller "Syriana."
"I don't think we're going to win any," a deadpan Clooney told reporters Friday, where "Syriana" was screened at Berlin's annual film festival. "There's been a lot of `Brokeback Mountain' stuff."
His nomination in the screenplay category for "Good Night, and Good Luck" puts him up against Stephen Gaghan, who wrote and also directed "Syriana."
In "Syriana," Clooney plays a veteran CIA agent assigned to assassinate the heir to the throne in an oil-rich Persian Gulf country.
"Oscar nominations are as important as anything," he said. "The hope is that people will see this film I don't know about wins."
Clooney grew a beard and piled on weight for the role.
"I put it on so quickly I was anxious to get it off," the 44-year-old actor-director said. "The depressing thing was that I could put on 35 pounds in 30 days."
