George Clooney has revealed that he ‘almost died’ in his near fatal motorcycle crash in Italy last July. 

“It split my helmet in half, it knocked me out of my shoes. I was hit hard,” the 58-year-old revealed. 

“I was just waiting for the switch to turn off because I broke his windshield with my head, and I thought, ‘OK, well, that’s my neck.’ If you get nine lives, I got all of them used up at once — so I can let go of motorcycle riding for a while.”

The actor later revealed that the accident that saw him rushed to the local hospital at the time is what got him off motorcycles for good. 

“I’m not allowed to ride motorcycles,” he said.

“I got into a really bad accident. I hit a guy at 70 miles an hour on my bike. Got launched. And so that’s it, I’m off of bikes.”
