George Clooney admires Geri Halliwell



Geri Halliwell's charitable acts have reportedly caught the eye of fellow celebrity do-gooder, George Clooney.

George, who is currently in Africa raising awareness for the
Darfur conflict in his role as a UN Messenger of Peace, is quoted in the Daily Star as saying recently: “She was always my favourite Spice Girl. I love her feisty approach and the fact she isn’t afraid to have an opinion.”

“Her work with Unicef and Marie Stopes in the third world was inspiring. And her address at a UN Youth summit in 2000 was brave - it’s so easy to not get involved and she just gritted her teeth and went for it.”

Geri is said to be planning a trip to Darfur in west Sudan to promote female empowerment after she completes her commitments with the Spice Girls reunion tour.
