George Clooney gave quite an earful to Rolling Stone magazine.

Clooney shared that he was really depressed (practically suicidal) over his back pain from the injury he sustained making "Syriana" in 2005, and that he lost his virginity way too young at age 16.

But he saved the accolades for new girlfriend Stacy Keibler, rope climbing and the word "fart."

Clooney, 50, tells the new Rolling Stone he's happy with his former WWE wrestler, 32, who Tweets all the time about her new beau.

"She can do whatever she wants," Clooney tells Rolling Stone of Keibler's tweets. "I rarely tell anybody what they should be doing with their life."

Clooney's first happy ending was with a rope in gym class.  "I believe it was while climbing a rope when I was six or seven years old," the Oscar winner says. "I mean, nothing came out, but all the other elements were there. I remember getting to the top of the rope, hanging off the rope, and going, 'Oh, my God, this feels great!'"

Farts are big in Clooney's world.  "Even the idea of a fart makes me laugh. Saying the word 'fart' makes me laugh," he admits. "I have iFart on my phone. I have remote whoopee cushions. Farts. To me, there's nothing funnier."
