Costa Rica coffee farmers welcome George Clooney
Psst, wanna see a George Clooney movie that’s not in theaters and probably never will be? It’s a short documentary about a surprise trip he made to Costa Rica last year in support of sustainable, fair trade coffee production.

In fact, that’s the main reason I’m a Clooney fan. Sure, he’s handsome, but I like his politics. He’s an activist who uses his pretty face to make a difference. This website, of course, simply borrows his name because it’s a perfect play on the George Washington Slept Here theme. So while other sites are offering half-baked stories about his holiday trip to Cabo with galpal Stacy Keibler, we’re showing a movie of his time in Costa Rica doing what he does best: changing the world.

On this quick trip, he toured coffee plantations with Ecolaboration, a group working to insure fair prices for local coffee farmers.

While in Costa Rica, Clooney also did a little R and R at Asclepios Wellness and Healing Retreat.



Asclepios, if you’re not up on your Greek gods, was considered the god of medicine. Unlike the 12 gods of Olympus, Asclepios earned his deity the hard way. He practiced medicine on the Thessalian plains and was so good at it, he was given the god nod. In fact, the reason the snake is the symbol of medicine is because Asclepios turned himself into one when he was summoned by the Romans during a devastating plague.

But enough Greek history. The spa just outside of San Jose near the Poas Volcano is named for this deity because it’s a place of healing. The owner, a lawyer turned naturopath, opened this amazing refuge of healing after studying energy medicine and other healing modalities. It was her way of using her unique set of skills and knowledge to do what Clooney likes to do: improve quality of life.

Asclepio is small (only 12 rooms, each unique and gorgeously decorated), but it has a fitness center, a yoga and meditation pavilion, a Turkish bath, a tempered ionized pool and a team of bright, energetic holistic practitioners. And the best part? There’s little to do but rest and relax. The staff, of course, can set up all the typical Costa Rican activities–ziplining, volcano viewing, jungle tours—but why leave paradise

George Clooney Cusses Out His Coffee Commercial Critics

Laura Stampler|January 25, 2012

According to George Clooney, even Academy Award nominees need a day job. For him, it's doing high-paid coffee commercials overseas.

During Newsweek's 2012 Oscar Roundtable, Clooney discussed his career choices: I'm trying to make movies in my life, and particularly in the position I'm in, that last longer than opening weekend. That's it, that's my whole goal. I don't have to make money, I do films for scale and then you know, I go do coffee commercials overseas and I make a lot of money doing those, so I get to live in a nice house.

Nice house? Mansion on Lake Como? Potato, pot-ah-to.

But question Clooney about pimping himself to Swiss coffee makers,* and you and the former Batman are going to have some issues.

"I don't give a shit," Clooney continued (as a nearby Charlize Theron smiled uncomfortably). "And people will go, 'Oh, that's a sellout!' You know what? Fuck you!"

At least Clooney is comfortable with his many career endeavors, unlike other actors who go abroad to shill products to an overseas audience.

Celebrities have traditionally flocked to Asian countries to shoot high paid (and often highly embarrassing) commercials. In an attempt to keep this part of their career a secret from American audiences, it is not uncommon for celebrities to enforce a "secrecy clause" which bars advertisers from disclosing sponsorship deals in the U.S. -- and they take it seriously. Actors including Leonardo DiCaprio and Meg Ryan have filed cease and desist orders against websites that post these ads to Americans.

Clooney's Nespresso ads aren't bad, and one of his spots even features John Malkovich.
