Clooney: 'Fabio could beat me up'
George Clooney has revealed he wouldn't like to take on model Fabio in a fight as he thinks he would lose.

The pair's feud dates back to November last year when Fabio called Clooney a "diva" for thinking the model's friends were taking photographs of him. The incident allegedly culminated in a shoving match.

When asked if he thought Fabio could beat him in a fight, Clooney told Esquire: "Yeah, that's probably true. He's a big guy. There is a moment when you are actually in the argument and you're thinking, 'If I do get beaten down by Fabio, that will be far worse than the pain.' I wouldn't shake that."

The Michael Clayton star also hit back at Donald Trump for calling him short.

"I saw Donald Trump on Larry King and he was saying, 'Clooney is a very short guy. I mean he's a tiny guy.' I've met Donald Trump once, and I was sitting at a table. He came over, shook my hand, and walked away. I guess I looked about three foot five sitting at that table."
