LONDON:

Hollywood actor George Clooney has warned friend Matt Damon, who was recently declared the ‘Sexiest Man Alive’, that he would take over the position from him if he fails to handle the responsibilities of the tag.

“There’s a lot of responsibility with this. I believe in the event that he can’t serve, the former sexiest man can take over. So if he slips up, I’m ready to take back the crown. When we were lobbying for him earlier (in previous years), I don’t think he was ready for it. It takes some maturity. Now I think he can handle the pressure,” joked Clooney. Damon took away the title from last year’s winner Clooney, contactmusic.com reported.
