Paulina Porizkova: Husband Ric Ocasek Sexier Than George Clooney

Paulina Porizkova

Paulina Porizkova is one of the most beautiful women we've ever seen, but as far as she's concerned, George Clooney is no match for her husband, rocker Ric Ocasek.

"I am married to the dude from The Cars. Or that's what they always say," Paulina tells me. She agrees that, although Ric is a talented guy, he isn't exactly Clooney in the looks department. "Thank God! He's so much better looking!" she says.

At age 18, Paulina, who is from the country formerly known as Czechoslovakia, was the first Central European woman to land the coveted cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. She went on to become one of the most successful models in the business. In 1989, Paulina married Ocasek, lead singer for The Cars, whom she met during filming of the music video for the Cars song "Drive." The couple has two children.

"Well, I guess I have a different kind of taste. I don't go for pretty boys -- they don't age well. Have you noticed this?" Paulina says. "But the reason I may take George Clooney is not for his looks, but because he's really smart and funny. I will close my eyes if I have to. ... My husband is the sexiest man in the world, 27 years later!"

Well, we happen to think you're one of the sexiest and smartest women in the world, Paulina.

As Dennis Miller asked, "Why the long face, Ric?"

Gotta admire him...he's a total dour nerd and snagged a gorgeous woman. Good for him.

Either she has a good sense of humor, or she needs her eyes checked. If you're going purely on the visual, no contest, George wins.

As long as he's smart and funny.....then he's sexy! Looks really DO fade quickly when they have no substance to stick to.

But I hear ya on the George Clooney thing Paulina...... ;-) Must be 'cause we come from the same area in Europe.

Rocker Ric Ocasek is very talented and from I read also intelligent. Both qualities are sexy in my book.

On the flip side, Paulina Porizkova is not considered a nice person.

I met Paulina. She is very nice and down to earth...

Hmm...really? Not a nice person? Why do you say that. She seems to have her head on straight.

There was a scandal when she appeared on ANTM and she was fired. When America's Next Top Model was really popular, I watched a couple of episodes when she was a judge. She was very harsh with her critiques. One would think she would have been a bit nicer because I'm sure she had some unpleasant experiences when she was starting her modeling career. There is nothing wrong with "tough love." However, she was downright mean.

Also, other top models have come out and stated she wasn't a very nice person. Noami Campbell has the same rep.

You must have missed the following article.......

I didn't know WHO she was before that.......BUT....she certainly
made herself out to be .....petty....snarky........jealous.....
mean-spirited......NOT a nice person in this 57 yr olds book.....

And WHO cares what SHE thinks of George Clooney anyway ???
WHY is what she "thinks" of George Clooney in comparison to
her husband....."newsworthy"...??
Seriously.

Just once again.....she's showing what a PETTY....SMALL person
she really is....

Beauty outside.....does NOT "automatically" translate into beauty INSIDE...........

I miss Ric playing with the cars and blame her.  Who would want to go on tour with her at home?

Congrats.  They seem to have it all together in a world that doesn't.  I am happy for them.  27 years is a great accomplishment.

One of my all-time favorite songs from the 80's (and video) is DRIVE. RIP Ben Orr.

Little known fact - the video was directed by Timothy Hutton.
