Clooney's malaria scare
Aug 24, 2006, 13:05 GMT
George Clooney was terrified he had caught malaria during a visit to Darfur.
The 'Ocean's Thirteen' actor - who has visited the war-torn region several times - thought he had contracted the deadly disease during his latest trip to the African country last month.
The 45-year-old actor was reportedly complaining of weight loss and exhaustion, which are common symptoms of the disease. A source told the New York Post newspaper: 'George was very thin and exhausted for a time. 'But he is the consummate professional and never complained.' However, Clooney was relieved when it turned out he was simply suffering from food poisoning. His publicist said: 'George does not have malaria, but he felt like he had the effects of it at one point. It was food poisoning from the flight back from Darfur.'Copyright 2006 BANG Media International
