Born in Lexington, Kentucky on May 6, 1961, birthday boy George Clooney, whose aunt was legendary singer Rosemary, didn’t exactly have an easychildhood. Raised in Kentucky and Ohio, he suffered from Bell’s palsy for a year in middle school and was made fun of by his peers. Clooney later went on to attend college at Northern Kentucky University and University of Cincinnati, but didn’t graduate from either.
