Despite his Rolodex and playful relationships with various A-list actors, though, Clooney reveals during the same interview that he is like us lowly humans in one crucial way—he is prone to making foolish decisions when inebriated. That weakness is the main reason why he stays away from social media like Twitter, he tells the magazine.

So one drunken night, you come home and you’ve had two too many drinks and you’re watching TV and somebody pisses you off, and you go ‘Ehhhhh’ and fight back,” says Clooney. “And you go to sleep, and you wake up in the morning and your career is over. Or you're an a--hole. Or all the things you might think in the quiet of your drunken evening are suddenly blasted around the entire world before you wake up.”

The actor adds, “I mean, when you see, like, Ashton Kutcher coming out going, you know, ’Everybody leave Joe Paterno alone,’ or whatever he said, you just go, ‘Fifteen minutes longer and a thought process and probably you wouldn't have done that.’”

Now, if only the rest of us, Ashton Kutcher included, had had that clever foresight.
