The actor issued a statement to deny that he gave an interview to the magazine where he spoke about his wife Amal.
"Hello Magazine has printed an EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW with me that has been widely picked up and reprinted. The problem is that I have not given an interview to Hello Magazine and the quotes attributed to me are not accurate.
"In my experience, being misquoted is not unusual but to have an 'exclusive interview' completely fabricated is something new. And a very disturbing trend," Clooney, 54, said in a statement.
"Hello! Magazine and the Hello! Group are very dismayed by Mr George Clooney's statement that an interview with him that was published by the Hello! Group is not authentic," the statement read.
"The Hello! Group bought the interview in good faith from a respectable independent agent, Famous, with whom it has dealt for many years and the agency and its writer were both credited at the end of the article in Hello! Magazine as is customary," the magazine said, adding they purchased the interview on the "unquestionable understanding" that it was "correct and accurate in all respects."
