GEORGE CLOONEY - CLOONEY TO GIVE UP SEX

Hollywood hunk GEORGE CLOONEY plans to out on weight, go bald and abstain from sex - in preparation for his latest movie role.

The handsome star, 43, will be transformed to a hairless hulk to play real-life CIA agent ROBERT BAER in his next film role in SYRIANA.

Clooney explains, "I'm going to be fat and bald and the giving up sex part is for two reasons. First is that it will help me focus on a very intense role.

"Second is that not a single woman in the world is going to want to have sex with me."

Syriana is set to begin shooting in Washington D.C. next month (AUG04).

Clooney adds, "This is one of the toughest roles I've tackled and looking the part might come as a real shock for fans.

"But hey, maybe it will be a taste of how I really will look in 20 years' time - fat, bald and a total turn-off."
