Luckey George

Is it any wonder that luck rhymes with suck?

George Clooney attributes his phenomenal success as an actor to "random" blind luck. The 46-year-old is aware he owes his Hollywood superstar status to landing the lead on E.R. as a doctor.

He says, "Think about how random things are. For me, it required a Thursday night time slot for a medical show.

"There had only been two shows in 16 years - L.A. Law and Hill Street Blues - and it opened up. We had a show, and immediately everything changed.

"And you go, 'That has nothing to do with me.' That has to do with pure luck all the way around. I 'did' throw in a couple blow jobs just to give it just a little help, and I sold my soul to the devil a couple weeks before it all hit, but again just pure luck."
