Washington, Dec 26 (ANI): George Clooney says he becomes anxious when conducting one-on-one interviews when promoting a film - because journalists interrogate him about his private life instead of his movie projects.
The 48-year-old actor admits he has become increasingly media-shy and now prefers to speak only at press conferences to keep reporters from asking question him about his love life in sit-down chats.
"I've found that doing interviews for films doesn't end up answering any questions about the films, and it doesn't really help the films," Contactmusic quoted him as telling Britain's Empire magazine.
"Usually I end up answering some dumba** question from some dumba** from the Netherlands.
"I don't mind the stories in gossip magazines, but I worry when they bleed into legitimate interviews, and that's been happening a lot recently," he added.
