George Covers W Magazine December/January issue in head-to-toe polka dots on a polka-dotted magazine cover leaning on a polka dot car, in a pair of polka dot shoes.
Clooney is dressed in an Armani suit customized by Yayoi Kusama, the Japanese artist and writer who is known for her affinity of all polka dot scenes. The Clooney cover is monochromatically reminiscent of the Louis Vuitton advertisements Yayoi released when she teamed up with the luxury brand back in 2012.
When you make a film like Gravity, you are a kind of muse for the director—in this case, Alfonso Cuarón. Similarly, in this project for W, you were a muse for five female artists. How did that feel?
[Laughs.] Yayoi Kusama depicted me covered in polka dots. She made me Snoopy! But I must say: I’m proud to be Snoopy! Ultimately, what I’m trying to do with a director—or, I guess, an artist—is to be of service to them and their story.
On his cinematic crush:
When I was a kid, I was in love with Audrey Hepburn. I watched Roman Holiday when I was 11, and I thought she was as elegant as anything I’d ever seen. And I fell madly in love with her. I also always loved Grace Kelly. I mean, when she comes out of the water in To Catch a Thief, I thought, That’s the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.
