George Clooney in alleged restaurant fight

George Clooney stunned diners at a Hollywood restaurant when he reportedly exchanged fighting words with male model, Fabio.

The actor was having dinner at the Madeo restaurant with girlfriend Sarah Larson, when there was a bit of a misunderstanding.

According to In Touch Weekly magazine, one of Fabio's pals started taking pictures and Clooney thought the photographer was trying to take shots of him and asked her to stop - a request that annoyed his fellow diner.

The magazine reports Fabio went over to Clooney's table to explain, but the conversation became heated, and the model was overheard telling the 'Ocean's Eleven' star, "I thought you were a nice guy. Stop being a diva!"

The encounter reportedly prompted Clooney to stand up and approach Fabio.

An eyewitness tells In Touch, "The waiters broke it up before it got out of hand.

"George looked annoyed. He was drinking but he wasn't drunk."

Clooney reportedly skipped the rest of his meal, asked for his bill and left.

Fabio's manager has refused to comment about the incident, but says, "George is lucky he didn't end up in the ER."
