Apparently, George Clooney’s wife does not find him as sexy as the rest of the world does and put him on a diet. TheSpec reported that Clooney’s wife, Amal Alamuddin, set the star on a healthy eating plan after he gained more than one stone after they got married in September 2014.

One friend reportedly said, “Amal told me there are five rules for George’s new eating regime and healthy lifestyle that should get him back in shape as quickly as possible.” The new George Clooney diet will keep him away from alcohol, fatty foods and dairy products. Amal aims for George to lose 15 pounds by the time the Oscars come around on February 22, 2015.

Another source shared that George Clooney might find the diet difficult. “George is a pretty disciplined guy on set but, although Amal's new eating rules seem straightforward, he's going to find it tough because he loves Mexican food and even binges on the fast food variety several times a week in LA,” the insider said.

The 58-year-old "Ocean’s Eleven" star is particularly fond of spicy fish tacos and tequila. Aside from Amal, George’s close friends Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford are also said to be helping get George back in top shape. The source said that they intend to make him look good before the Academy Awards.

The other source said, "Rande [Gerber] and Cindy [Crawford] have promised Amal they'll do everything they can to help her lick him back into some sort of shape ­before the Academy Awards. But it's going to be tough as there's nothing George likes to wolf down more than a couple of spicy fish tacos followed by a shot or two of his own tequila."

MyHealthLists reported that Clooney has a natural slim frame so he sheds extra pounds faster than other people. His usual fitness regimen generally involves doing exercises using his own body weight as well as Bikram yoga. When George Clooney is on a strict diet, he usually sticks to fish and vegetables only until he reaches his desired weight and shape. Clooney has been named among the fittest actors in Hollywood before.
