It has been revealed that George Clooney failed to get future fiancé Amal Alamuddin’s phone number after they met through a mutual friend, and thus had to begin wooing his love interest by sending flirty emails. 

 

According to the Daily Mirror, he wrote: “I think the reported hottest man in the world should meet with the hottest human rights lawyer in the world.”

 

A friend of the couple told the newspaper: “At first Amal was playing very hard to get and would not take his phone number, which simply made George even more intrigued.

 

“In the end he managed to get her email address and began sending her a series of flirty messages. He was very up front and joked about the fact they were both ¬considered the hottest people in their respected ¬professions.

 

“It was all very tongue in cheek but it got the ball rolling. Amal found it funny, but she still made him wait a few days before replying.

 

“It was George’s forward banter which ultimately got them talking.

 

“Once she replied that was it – it’s been non-stop ever since.”
