Matt Damon has joked George Clooney is gay.
The actor claims his 'Ocean's Thirteen' co-star George - who is regularly voted the world's most eligible bachelor - is secretly attracted to men.
Matt quipped: "George is gay. Everybody knows that. But honestly, I never realised he was gay - even when he was b***ing me off!"
Matt - who has a one-year-old daughter, Isabella, with wife Luciana Barroso - finds it funny that there are so many rumours about secretly gay actors.
He recently said: "I thought I'd heard all the gossip, although people always think all actors are gay.
"It was the same for me and Ben Affleck when we were doing 'Good Will Hunting'. There was a lot of talk we were gay, and I just didn't respond to it. I thought, 'F**k you!' Why give the rumours any credence?
"A lot of movie stars have a feminine quality, but George is a man's man - although so was Rock Hudson, right?!"

Have frequently heard the Big house on Lake Cuomo in Italy is staffed by beautiful Italian boys and 'boy' parties for Hollywood male a-listers are not uncommon. Of course that's hearsay from people I met in Barcelona. But I have heard stories from more than a few people so it wouldn't surprise me. All 'actors' are essentially bisexual anyway. You have to be to do your job effectively. I don't know why people are still shocked.
I thought all people were bi-sexual to some degree----not just actors.
Judge them/us by the body of their/our work, please. Try to get your own.
George likes his boys slim and dark, from what I understand. Matt has done a good job covering his lavender tracks, but ol' George is getting sloppy in his old age.
I was at Harvard/Cambridge when Matt and Ben were coming up, going to school there. Both are bisexual. It was well-known here back then. Same for Clooney, Pitt and other Hollywood types like Will Smith, David Hasselhoff,Tobey Maguire. Dicaprio is one of the biggest closet cases in the business...

That's funny, I always thought Matt Damon and George Clooney were gay. I think Matt talks about it a little too much. Wonder why?
