It may seem that over the years George Clooney has perfected the art of wriggling out of long-term commitment.
That, however, could prove more difficult for the star in his latest romance - with a former professional wrestler whose signature move was her “roundhouse kick”.
Stacy Keibler, 31, and Clooney, 50, - regarded as one of the world’s most eligible bachelors - made their first public appearance together at the Toronto Film Festival at the weekend.
Although Miss Keibler concentrates more on modelling these days, she first found fame as a fighter.
The Amazonian blonde was known as Super Stacy during her seven-year stint in World Championship Wrestling and then World Wrestling Entertainment.
In these photographs from 2004, pink bikini-clad Miss Keibler - who was also nicknamed The Legs for her 42in pins Ð is seen grappling with fighter Torrie Wilson during a bout at Madison Square Garden.
She decided to become a wrestler because of the amount of time it allowed her to spend with the opposite sex.
She said: “It was the guys and me, and we started going to wrestling events and stuff. All my girlfriends were like: ‘What are you doing?!’ I’m like, ‘But I like to be with the boys!’” During her time in WWE she was known for winning a number of “Bra and Panties Matches” and “Bikini Contests”. She left wrestling in 2006 when she entered Dancing With The Stars, the U.S. version of Strictly Come Dancing.
Judge Bruno Tonioli nicknamed her “The Weapon of Mass Seduction” after she received a perfect score for her samba dance routine. Although favourite to win, she was eliminated in the final episode.
Clooney split with model Elisabetta Canalis in June. Their two-year relationship ended shortly after she gave an interview suggesting she hoped to marry.
The actor insisted he would not wed again after the end of his four-year marriage to actress Talia Balsam in 1993.
Miss Keibler and Clooney started dating at the end of July, although they are said to have known each other for “four to five years”. - Daily Mail
