George Clooney Thought About Committing Suicide

Clooney: "Well, you'll have to kill yourself at some point, you can't live like this".

Actor George Clooney recently revealed that he wanted to commit suicide after suffering of terrifying pain and memory loss, due to an accident on the set of his latest movie.

Clooney, 44, declared that the past 12 months were very hard for him, because he suffered an excruciating brain injury on set of his new thriller, 'Syriana', which left him with terrible head aches and massive memory loss. And on top on that, his grandmother, brother-in-law and dog died within months of each other.

He told America's National Public Radio in Los Angeles: "There was this scene where I was taped to a chair and getting beaten up and we did quite a few takes. The chair was kicked over and I hit my head.

I tore my dura, which is the wrap around my spine which holds in spinal fluid. But it's not my back, it's my brain. I basically bruised my brain. It's bouncing around my head because it's not supported by the spinal fluid."

He added: "Before the surgery it was the most unbearable pain I've ever been through, literally where you'd go; 'Well, you'll have to kill yourself at some point, you can't live like this".

But the hardest thing for him to bear was the death of his family members.

He confessed: "It's probably the worst year personally I have ever had. My brother-in-law died of a heart attack aged 45; my grandma fell, broke her hip and died this summer. And my dog got attacked by a rattlesnake and killed."
