Yo! Clueless Clooney

He thinks that he is a latter-day Cary Grant. In fact, Clueless Clooney is a latter-day Archie Leach:

    I think that it is a bit unfair to compare George Clooney against Cary Grant.

    Different culture. Different times.

    Grant came from a time of impeccable dress and manners and propriety. The same cannot be said for our times, unforutnately.

    Therefore, Clooney has no cultural touchstone. In comparison, Grant had many.

    Seitelman - well, Clooney has got Cary Grant as a touchstone. In fact, in a real sense (owing to the films), Cary Grant will never die. Moreover, George Clooney had a considerably better start in life that Archie Leach had; has bags of blunt, spondoolicks, dough and ends up looking as though he's been dressed in somebody else's clothes.

    PS Mind you, I entirely agree with your observations on our times...

    It's almost impressive how hard celebrities make it look to dress well.

    Hollywood dresses badly because they have no culture. Only European aristocrats and the like have good style.

    Aaargh! The trouser fabric pooling at the bottom is almost offensive! Jeez you'd think the feller would have had his own tux made by now...

    Unfortunately for Clooney (and the majority in Hollywood) the studio system is long gone; and with it the professional handlers who would never let the talent appear like that in public.
