MALARIA: George Clooney 'contracts malaria' in Sudan

George Clooney 'contracts malaria' in Sudan
“I guess the mosquito in Juba looked at me and thought I was the bar,” Clooney joked.
The 49-year-old actor has regularly travelled to Sudan to raise awareness of the Darfur conflict and was most recently in the country for a landmark referendum on independence for the South on Jan 9.
"George Clooney has contracted malaria following recent trip to Sudan," Morgan wrote on his Twitter page. "It's his 2nd bout of malaria. Taking medication but feeling rough."
The interview with Clooney and his father Nick is due to be aired on Morgan's new CNN show on Friday, during which he talks about his malaria battle.
The Ocean's Eleven star was also in Sudan in December to help set up a satellite system with the aim of preventing a new civil war in the stricken country.
