George Clooney Thought He Was Living His ‘Last’ Moments Amid 2018 Motorcycle Crash
Looking back. Several years after surviving a motorcycle accident, George Clooney has opened up about his memories of the incident.
“I was waiting for my switch to turn off [but] I’m fine now,” Clooney, 60, recalled during an interview with the Sunday Times, which was published on Saturday, November 27.
At the time, the Catch-22 actor realized a crowd of people had started to gather around him shortly after his bike collided with another vehicle in Sardinia, Italy, in July 2018. He noticed several individuals taking photos and videos of his injuries.
“The driver immediately recognized he was responsible,” a local police officer told Us Weekly at the time. “He turned the car without respecting the road laws. He was the first to call the emergency services and the police.”
While Clooney suffered bruises during the crash, his rep confirmed that he was on the mend shortly after the incident.
“George was treated and released from an Olbia hospital,” Clooney’s rep told Us in a statement that July. “He is recovering at home and will be fine.”
