In his first Sexiest Man Alive cover, George Clooney's pals gushed about not only his looks, but also about his loyalty. "The rap on George is that he's this rake, this guy's guy," his ER' costar Laura Innes told PEOPLE. "That's true, but he is also a dear, loyal friend who would do anything for you.
