I have one more reason to love George Clooney. At the Venice Film Festival Tuesday, a gay man professed his deep and undying love for George, and proceeded to strip down in front of the cameras in some sort of misguided publicity stunt.

George's response was more than cool. "It's hard when you take a chance and it doesn't really work." Do you think that George  intended to make the pun? Unfortunately, it didn't look like the man, of an unknown nationality, was quite that naked.....

George was in Venice to promote his new film "The Men Who Stare at Goats".  Watch the video after the jump!
