While it is true that actor George Clooney had a bit of an accident while in Italy and broke his hand it did not happen while on his motorcycle. There had been rumors that he and his new girlfriend, Elisabetta Canalis, were riding his motorcycle near Switzerland when he was in an accident with a car, and broke his hand. But that is not what happened according to his rep.

“There was an accident and he did break his hand,” Clooney’s rep Stan Rosenfield said Thursday. “He was not riding a motorcycle, it was not in Switzerland … He was on his property in Italy and he shut the car door on his hand.”

Um, ouch! Clooney was treated at a hospital in Switzerland, which is only a 40 minute drive from his home in Lake Como Italy.

“The doctor has given him 30-40 years more to live, and no live animals were harmed during the wrapping of the hand,” Rosenfield quipped.

So that’s how rumors get started. Luckily no one else was hurt. But dang! Closing the car door on your hand? That is just painful.
