GEORGE CLOONEY

The South African-born SpaceX boss, 46, and dad-of-six sold his first video game aged 12 and has had no less than four billiondollar start-ups. Yet he wasn’t always as suave as he now looks.

In 1999, then 28, he was almost unrecognisable – balding, with greasy skin and spots. Straight-talking college friend Adeo Ressi said: “Elon was the biggest dork I ever met.” Raised in a small town in Kentucky, the Oscar winner, 56, ditched the bowl cut and glasses to become one of the world’s most eligible bachelors... before breaking hearts by marrying lawyer Amal Alamuddin, 40, in 2014.
