George Clooney Spat On For Good Luck.

While most women swoon when George Clooney is in their presence, one woman spit on the Hollywood heartthrob during his trip to Sudan. But it was for good luck, the actor said, according to the Daily Mail. Clooney, who appeared with Ann Curry on a Dateline NBC special to discuss the conflict in the war-torn country, was spit on by a female village elder. In the village of Abyei, spitting on one’s head is considered a polite greeting and is supposed to bring the spit receiver luck. The movie star seemed unperturbed. “It was a tradition I haven’t seen,” he reportedly said. “She pulls you down and spits into your hands, then she pulls your head down and spits on top of your head.” Though doubtful, Clooney said he had been spit on before. “It wasn’t a blessing [then],” he reportedly joked.
