The actor admits that he probably couldn’t have handled the pressures that they face at their age. Clooney is sympathetic to troubled stars like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan because he can’t believe the attention they get from the media.
According to FemaleFirst, Clooney said, "If I were as famous as some of those kids who are on the magazines right now at 21 years old, I’d be shooting crack under my eyeball. We are always going to be that society that slows down to look at the car wreck on the side of the road. I think we’re just in one of those places right now, and it seems to be focused on younger kids Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan and people like that. They’ll get through it, but I wouldn’t want to be growing up around that."
