George Clooney has said that he regrets starting his career when he did.

The actor/director, who became famous thanks to his portrayal of Dr Doug Ross on ER, says even his 'sex symbol' status of the moment cannot erase his terrible fashion disasters.

Clooney started his career in the '80s, and believes it was "the worst fashion period of all time. Big balloon pants and shoulder pads will come back to haunt me for the rest of my life," he added.
