Will Arnett's crush on George Clooney...

| | Comments (2) |

Will Arnett hits the big screen tomorrow in "Blades of Glory" starring Will Ferrell. Most of his scenes are with real-life wife Amy Poehler and they are a hoot together in this silly movie as a brother-sister pairs champion ice skating team. But even bigger news than the movie's debut is this: Will is featured in the new issue of The Advocate as the person with the Big Gay Following!

Arnett on his Big Gay Following: "I didn't know I had any gay following. I knew I had a couple of guys following me, but I didn't actually know I had an actual gay following. I feel honored. If I do have a gay following, they have great taste."

On guys hitting on him: "Maybe I'm oblivious to it. I used to live in Chelsea for years and there were a few times walking my dog when guys would try to strike up conversations with me like, 'So, what's going on?' And I'd be like, 'Oh, just walking the dog.'"

On his man crush: "George Clooney. He's just the ultimate cool. How can you say a bad word about the guy? He's handsome as you want to be, he's got that perfect salt-and-pepper hair, he looks like he was born in a tuxedo - dud you see him at the Oscars? I mean, c'mon, that's just not fair."

I hope that the audience enjoyed that aspect of it."

Arnett will play gay again in an episode of the NBC comedy "30 Rock." He describes his character as "a West Coast executive who's vying for Alec Baldwin's character's job. When it's revealed that I'm gay, he used Kenneth the page to seduce me to distract me from taking his job. I do get blinded by him for awhile, but I'm able to overcome it. I get to make the statement: 'I'm gay and i want your job!'"
