George Clooney Prefers Prostate Exams to Facebook

by Terrence O'Brien on September 18, 2009 at 12:45 PM

For every Facebook entrepreneur like Britney Spears, and every Tweetaholic like Lance Armstrong, there is at least one Luddite, like Rob Zombie, who cringes just thinking about your cell phone.

Well, Mr. Zombie has some company in his extreme (and unsettling) hatred of modern technology: the dashing George Clooney. According to People.com, Mr. Clooney told a group of reporters at the Toronto International Film Festival:
"I would rather have a prostate exam on live television by a guy with very cold hands than have a Facebook page."
Those are some intense words for a guy who seems rather unassuming most of the time. But, still, Clooney has given some hints regarding his tech prejudices.

While everyone and their mothers rush to put their voices in the latest computer-animated epic from Pixar or DreamWorks, Clooney has consistently refrained, restricting his voice work to more low-tech offerings like 'South Park' and the upcoming 'Fantastic Mr. Fox.' Reportedly, neither movie involved exams of any kind. [From: People.com, via Mashable]
