London: Oscar winning actor George Clooney revealed that he suffered from paralysing Bell's Palsy as a youth.

The disorder leaves the muscles weak with a temporary disfigured face. Contactmusic.com reports that Clooney had the perfect response for people who make fun of his funny high school photos.

He said: "People bring it up and they go, 'Look how goofy you looked,' and I go, 'I had Bell's Palsy; you feel bad now.'"

In an interview he revealed another surprising bit of information about himself saying, "I was a blond".
