George Clooney Makes Light of His Fabio Encounter

George Clooney has the ability to laugh at himself, as he demonstrated when talking about his recent unpleasant restaurant encounter with Fabio.

"He's a big guy," George said of the hulking, belligerent romance novel cover-model. "There is a moment when you are actually in the argument and you're thinking, 'If I do get beaten down by Fabio, that will be far worse than the pain. I wouldn't shake that.'"

Of course George was drunk during his Fabio encounter, so I doubt he formed any thoughts as amusing, let alone coherent, as "If I do get beaten down by Fabio, that will be far worse than the pain." It was probably more like, "Why is that light so bright? Did I just piss my pants? Who's that stripper-looking chick I'm with?"

Fabio Wishes He'd Kicked Clooney's Ass

Fabio refuses to let us forget about his little girly altercation with George Clooney in an L.A. restaurant several months back. To refresh your memories: George was apparently a tad inebriated, and thought some people were taking pictures of him when they were really photographing some women who were with Fabio at the next table. George stood up to berate said snappers, raising Fabio's ire in the process. Fabio takes up the narrative:

I apologized and he started being rude so I put him in his place... I went back to my table and as soon as I sit down he paid his bill, got up and he started insulting the girls. He called the women names. At that point I lost my temper. I went after him and he ran out of the restaurant.

Fabio let Clooney go, but now wishes he'd taught George a lesson instead. Fabio:

I could have fucked him up. Oh my god, I could have beaten the shit out of him. I am still so pissed at him.

Fabio gets a little publicity for the first time in years, and you know he's gonna milk that shit for all it's worth. Next he'll probably start a website for hawking t-shirts emblazoned with slogans like, "George Clooney is Fabio's Bitch" or "George Clooney is a Girly-Man." Let it go Fabio. Obviously, you are a pitiful braggart. You would've kicked Clooney's ass except that you were afraid to get your face messed up again like when you were riding that roller coaster and got dive-bombed by the seagull. So after Clooney leaves you're all like, "You're lucky the women were here Clooney or I would've fucked your shit up." Sure Fabio. And next you'll be picking fights down at the local pool hall. Faggot.

Clooney And Fabio Have A History

The somewhat bizarre confrontation between aging movie-star George Clooney and aged professional punchline Fabio in an L.A. restaurant was not the first time the pair butted heads.

Years ago, the gentlemanly Clooney got into it with Fabio in the green room of a talk show when he caught Fabio behaving boorishly toward a female production assistant, and ever since then the two have been enemies.

So the underlying sexual tension between Fabio and Clooney goes back years, huh? Veeeeery interesting.
