Re: not BACON!!!! Nooooooooooo!

Actually, that stat is misleading.

During the filming of Syriana, Clooney weighed ~215, which was obese. He has had significant health problems ever since.

His typical weight is around 170, which, for 5'11", is in the high end of the normal range. (And I suspect he weighed less than during the Rosanne years.)

People are too quick about dismissing the BMI index. From what I understand, the line for "overweight" and "obese" are based on when they notice a significant upward spike in medical issues. (Although, I can't find data to confirm that.)
