George Clooney is opening up about his scary motorcycle accident while in Italy last summer that sent him to the hospital.
The Oscar winner, 57, was traveling on his scooter when a car cut into his lane and crashed into him, flinging him into the air. Clooney was rushed to the hospital and later released without serious injury.

The father of two was in Italy filming his upcoming Hulu show Catch-22when the incident happened. He revealed at panel for the show in New York City on Wednesday that his wife Amal Clooney banned him from riding two-wheel vehicles again, and fellow producer Grant Heslov’s wife followed suit.
“I’m not allowed to ride motorcycles,” Clooney said at the panel. “I got into a really bad accident. I hit a guy at 70 miles an hour on my bike. Got launched. And so that’s, I’m off of bikes. Grant’s off. We screwed up and our wives were like, ‘You can never get on a bike again.’ “
Video of the crash showed the impact throwing Clooney high into the air before landing on the ground nearby.
Clooney was taken to the emergency room of John Paul II hospital after complaining of “a slight trauma to the pelvis and bruises to one leg and an arm,” according to La Nuova. He also reportedly underwent an MRI.

His wife, Amal, rushed to his side but, after he was given the all clear, they left the hospital together in a private car, La Nuova added.
A rep for Clooney told PEOPLE he “was treated and released from an Olbia hospital. He is recovering at home and will be fine.”
Abbott, 32, plays the main character, John Yossarian, while Chandler, 53, plays Colonel Cathcart.

The story will be told through the eyes of Yossarian — a divergence from Heller’s original novel of the same name, which famously describes events from the point of view of different characters. Yossarian is a U.S. Army bombardier stationed off the Mediterranean coast in the early ’40s. (Production wrapped in September in Santa Teresa Gallura, Italy.)
Catch-22 is set to premiere on Hulu May 17.

Totally agree PAN. When I saw the video of the accident I was stunned that George pretty much walked away from serious injury. He was damn lucky! If I was in Amal’s position I would have told him the same thing. He has a responsibility for two small children and a wife and the possible consequences of joy riding are just not worth it.
Donnamarie- Possibly more Clooney than George himself

Even though the story is probably not true....
Many many years ago George was the poster boy/hero/made It Normal not to be into marriage.... just like me....
And this is exactly why!!! I HATE human ownership, you see it daily between spouses and the most offensive parents with their kids.... there is a line in the sand between good parenting and flat out ownership bullying....
I hope George has changed as all of you say he has .... my way of dealing with someone “telling me what to do” is to cower, resent, be afraid and ultimately escape! Run away and not look back....it’s a bad way to react as the other side never see it coming....
But George has changed....

Nope.
It just sounds like a really sensible thing to do. And if the shock of what happened didn't make him think it might be a good idea to give up Harleys, he would realise that he's not a sole agent anymore. Never mind anything else, he has two tiny children - and a massively damaged spinal chord with all that's (still) involved for him there on a routine basis.
He would already know all that - without Amal having to say something. But it makes a good story, and as always while he's promoting something else there's the odd extra 'private' tale to tell.
Let's see if it comes up on Ellen...taking bets

Well , I think it probably is true after all he said Grant was banned as well. He didn't have to mention Grant if he were
just telling a story.
just telling a story.

OH THAT IS GOOD NEWS. !
I do Hope it's True.
I really think that George's Aunt Rosemary or
Uncle George were looking after him that day.
It will be good if Ellen brings it up !
( I bet she's thrilled about his daughter
being called Ellen ! ). LOL.
