In 1982, George Clooney was just over 20 years old, with dark hair and the same gaze that decades later would remain part of his signature. He lived in Los Angeles and pursued a single dream: to get work as an actor.
Around that time, he also began a relationship with Dedee Pfeiffer, Michelle Pfeiffer’s younger sister. They were two young people still far from fame, building their careers while discovering that they also wanted to be together.
The relationship ended a year later, and each went their own way. Decades later, Dedee still remembered him fondly: “George has always been a great guy”.
More than 40 years later, all it takes is comparing those photographs with today’s to see something that didn’t require Hollywood: George Clooney has always had that certain something that makes it hard to believe time has passed him by. From the young man looking for his first opportunity to the man we know today, almost everything changed except one thing: his ability to keep being George Clooney.
