George Clooney denies any motorcycle accident

London, (ANI): George Clooney has denied that he broke his hand in a dangerous motorcycle accident, and has instead revealed that his hand was caught in a car door. The 'Ocean's Eleven' star was treated earlier this month at the private Ars Medica clinic in Switzerland, a short drive from his holiday home at Lake Como, Italy.

Rumours were abuzz that the 49-year-old heartthrob was riding his Harley Davidson around Lake Lugano, at the border of Italy and Switzerland, with his girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis when he fell off, injuring himself. But the actor has laughed off the incident as nothing more than a clumsy accident.

"There was an accident and he did break his hand. He was not riding a motorcycle, it was not in Switzerland ... He was on his property in Italy and he shut the car door on his hand," the Daily Express quoted his spokesperson as having told People.com. The spokesperson added: "The doctor has given him 30-40 years more to live, and no live animals were harmed during the wrapping of the hand."
