1. He wasn’t always good-looking.
In middle school, the other kids called George “Frankenstein” after he contracted Bell’s palsy, a condition that partially paralyses the face. He recovered within a year, but “it was the worst time of my life,” he said back in 2003. “You know how cruel kids can be.”

Love, love George! Too bad he's not planning on procreating. The world needs more dashing, talented men with a sense of humor who are loyal friends!

He is too cool - AND gorgeous. I would love to see him settle down and procreate, too.

I remember hearing that he was anorexic -- wonder if that's true at all...
