Will George Clooney run for president?

Will George Clooney run for president? One British bookie hasn’t ruled it out.

“A British bookmaker has cut the odds in half for newly married actor George Clooney to become president someday,” The Washington Times reports. “Bookmaker William Hill lowered the odds on Mr. Clooney from 200/1 to 100/1 after his marriage over the weekend to 36-year-old Amal Alamuddin in Venice.”

He believes the actor’s decision to partner himself with a prominent international lawyer and jurist increases his likelihood of running for office.

Of course, these are just statistics from one source, but would campaign signs reading Clooney 2016 be all that surprising?

“George Clooney is not just one of the most recognizable faces in the USA, but in the world, and if he did decide to run for President he ticks a lot of boxes,” William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams said.
