We hear, the feud between classic Hollywood hunks George Clooney and Fabio has been brewing for years.

“George had long considered Fabio “something of a joke,” until the two crossed paths a number of years ago in the ”green room” at a New York talk show,” says a spy. Clooney saw Fabio acting very arrogant and then witnessed him treating an attractive female TV production assistant ”rudely and in a very sexist manner,” the friend said, so Clooney called Fabio on it.

Fabio told George to “Fuck off” — ”and ever since then, on the rare occasion when they’ve run into each other [at movie premieres, etc.], they have either ignored each other or made ‘stage whisper’ insults within each other’s earshot.”
