George Clooney feared a motorcycle accident would kill him | Stars

entertainment">“When you’re famous and you’re laying there on the floor, thinking your last hour has come, you suddenly realize that for some people that’s just going to be entertainment on their Facebook page,” Clooney said. “I’m fairly positive, but that made it clear to me that you’re really just entertainment for them. You actually want to grab all those people and shake them up.”
