George Clooney's Surprising Foot-Fixing Past Revealed

During a recent appearance on "Live With Kelly and Mark," George Clooney, 64, reminisced about his early career, revealing a surprising stint as a shoe salesman when he was 18. The aspiring actor detailed the less-than-glamorous aspects of the job, particularly his interactions with elderly customers who sought help for various foot conditions.

Clooney humorously recounted how older patrons would present issues like hammertoes and corns, with one particular anecdote involving a unique, albeit strange, method for treating corns using a 'stretching shoe' and blue powder. The actor's vivid description even prompted a playful remark from co-host Kelly Ripa about the original interpretation of 'cornhole.'

Further discussing his acting career, Clooney shared that his iconic role as a doctor on ER did not impart a sense of medical expertise. He admitted that portraying a medical professional often made him feel "dumber," as doctors he encountered during filming would look at him with perceived judgment. Despite this, he noted that friends sometimes still seek his advice.
