George Clooney has revealed that Roseanne Barr tried to get with him back in the day when he was on her show. And she came onto him with what I think is the grossest pick-up line I have ever heard. I used to think the most disgusting one was when a former co-worker got drunk and told the office hottie that she “would be a pig for him.” But this one is worse.

George sat down for an interview with Rolling Stone film critic Peter Travers after a screening of Leatherheads at the Picture House Theater in Pelham, NY. He answered various questions about his career. Like why Leatherheads did about $2.50 at the box office.

Travers asked him about Roseanne’s comment in TIME recently that ” ‘He can drink too much and still while standing in a bar parking lot at 3 a.m. discuss the world with such passion and good sense that you actually stop imagining him nude.’” Clooney said she tried to use her feminine wiles on him.

“Don’t you want Roseanne writing your obit? I worked on her first series, and when I met her she said, ‘You’re really good looking, why don’t you take me out behind the stage and make me stink.’ She was unbelievably kind to me at a time when no one was.”

UGH! That is dag nasty! I can totally picture her squawking that, too. And you know some newbie actors on that show had to do that for their big break. I’m looking at you, Johnny Galecki. Someone grab the FDS.

Clooney also addressed the failure of Leatherheads. Despite all the CRAZY promotion they did for it. Seriously, wasn’t he on the road with Renee Zellweger for months? That can’t have been fun.

“[Leatherheads] bombed and when I say bombed, it bombed. Someone said, ‘How does that feel?’ and it stings a little bit. It’s not like we just showed up: I was working on this for a couple years and put a lot of work into it, and you get knocked back a little bit.”

He had to work with her mewling self and it did squat. Talk about banging your head off the wall. Repeatedly. For a couple of years.
