One who makes any meeting or social gathering much more enjoyable. The good news is, charisma can be mastered. Here are seven sneaky tricks that charismatic people know which skyrocket their allure from lukewarm to megawatt. Asking questions and being curious about others is downright alluring. Egomaniacs and self-serve talkers are boring. And guess what? So ask people about themselves. They will love you for it and you can learn a lot from other people.
Being an asker makes you appear more attractive because curiosity is sexy! Making other people feel comfortable is an alluring quality. We may think being snappy with a slow bartender exudes a sassy attitude but, in fact, you just look like a dragon. A high maintenance dragon. People will shy away from being burned by you. There is something so attractive about being around people who see the good in everything. Complainers suck the life out of us and the beauty out of their surroundings.
Oh, and wait … there is no diet ginger ale?! Make it easier for others to hang out with you. Once in a while you can be a little fussy, but over time it wears other people out. Clooney lived and worked elsewhere for much of last year, and, in that time, the L. The result is not extravagant, but it carries the hint of a hotel steakhouse under bold new management: dark wood, beige curtains, a chandelier. According to both men, Gerber made all the decisions, without a word of consultation: everything from the size of the swimming pool to the framed photograph of Steve McQueen in the living room.
Sarah Larson joined us. She still has a home in Vegas, but now spends a large part of her time with Clooney. She was genial and soft-spoken and seemed a little shy. He was bouncy. To my left, I had a view of the back yard. On a grassy slope, a replica of the Hollywood sign made of letters just a foot or so high looked down on a small pool.
I thought it was much bigger. Not just on film, perhaps. The reason? This is almost pathological: he has to entertain that new person. As befits a man who, at a charity auction last summer in the South of France, sold a kiss for three hundred and fifty thousand dollars, Clooney has an unusually alert sense of his sphere of influence; he is more closely guided than most by a diligent inner director.
And he has taken the trouble to think his way into the mind of the person inching up to his restaurant table for an autograph, or the friend of a friend who has become a little dizzy in his presence. He is also a careful social planner. In the late eighties, Clooney initiated boozy group golfing trips; more recently, he bulk-bought motorcycles for his friends, and he found the house in Italy, where friends drop by throughout the summer to eat slow meals outdoors, sometimes in the company of passing visitors such as Al Gore and Walter Cronkite.
Clooney can be thought of as a studio of one—someone with the good sense and the resources to provide for himself what movie studios used to lay out for their contracted stars. So, for example, his driver is a broad-shouldered off-duty cop, which is a nice card to play in an argument with a paparazzo.
He is incessantly winning but not confessional: the media gets its wine and cheese, and Clooney—without taking visible offense at any question, without ever taking the conversation off the record—holds on to his soul. The pig died in , and has its own Wikipedia page. His delivery suggested some hidden effort. Would it be too peculiar to say that I feel somehow protective of him? Nick Clooney is tall and handsome, alternately wisecracking and frowningly sincere. He began to shift from entertainment to serious-minded news anchoring in the mid-seventies; he had a column in the Cincinnati Post until the paper closed, last year; and, in , he ran for Congress, without success, as a Democrat.
A story of men under stress trying to save the world, it was also an advertisement, inevitably, for filmmaking under stress; you could almost hear the high fives as the credits rolled. When Clooney began to direct, his first two films were about TV stars of earlier times. Does he consider himself truly charismatic?
