The mere mention of the name George Clooney is enough to send women of all ages into a swoon, but 25 years ago, the reaction might have been quite different.
While George, 54, is now a bona fide hunk and his 2014 marriage to human rights lawyer Amal Alumuddin made international headlines, the Hollywood heartthrob hasn’t always been so suave.
In the 1980s, George’s curly black mullet and questionable dress sense made him look more like a mechanic than a movie star.
These photos chart his transformation from humdrum to hunk and my, how he has changed!
