George Clooney is related to Lincoln - wsanto - 01-03-2014 12:56 PM
George Clooney is Lincoln's half-first cousin five times removed. Their common relative is Lincoln's Grandmother, Mary Hanks.
That means Mary Hanks is Clooney's Great-great-great-great-great-grandmother.

If George inherited his proclivity to keep switching women from his distant relative, maybe Mary Lincoln had reason to be worried about Abe and other women. And before I get maligned, I really am just kidding.

I wonder what Mr. Clooney thinks of Lincoln?

Well, I think George co-produced "Argo" which took the Best Picture Oscar ( most undeservedly!) over Spielberg's "Lincoln" in 2013. I would indeed love to know ol' George's thoughts about his legendary ancestor.
And yes, I am still bitter about the Oscars loss!
