Sydney,
(ANI):
George
Clooney"s
Italian
investment
is
paying
off
incredible
returns.
The
actor,
who"s
currently
dating
Italian
television
presenter
Elisabetta
Canalis,
admits
he
feels
relaxed
since
buying
ght
a
villa
in
the
European
town
of
Laglio,
which
helped
him
escape
the
pressures
of
Hollywood.
"What
changed
my
life
in
a
very
pleasant
and
unexpected
way
was
buying
the
villa
in
Laglio.
That
was
a
pure
investment
decision
–
I
thought
I
would
maybe
spend
a
few
weeks
vacationing
there.
But
then
I
realised
how
beautiful
life
was
in
Italy
and
how
it
really
helped
calm
me
and
not
feel
so
pressured.
I
could
also
work
productively
and
bring
my
friends
over
to
keep
me
company," the
Sydney
Morning
Herald
quoted
George
Clooney
as
saying.
The
49-year-old
bachelor,
who
has
had
a
series
of
short
term
relationships,
also
admitted
he
has
previously
put
his
career
before
his
personal
life
but
is
happy
to
have
now
changed
his
priorities.
"I
was
working
so
hard
on
my
film
projects
that
for
a
time
I
basically
didn't
even
think
very
much
about
how
my
personal
life
was
evolving,"
Clooney
added
in
an
interview
with
the
Daily
Mirror
newspaper.
"I
didn't
care
in
the
sense
that
I
didn't
have
a
family
or
children
to
look
after
and
I
wasn't
involved
in
any
long-term
relationships.
Now,
I
still
feel
I
haven't
done
my
best
work
although
I've
at
least
put
myself
in
a
position
where
I
can
keep
doing
what
I
love
and
enjoy
the
process.
I
even
have
a
bit
of
a
personal
life
these
days.
I
don't
want
to
make
anyone
sick
but
things
are
going
pretty
well
for
me,"
he
added.
