George Clooney would rather have a rectal examination on live TV than join a social networking site.

The Hollywood actor is not a fan of sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter and says an intrusive medical would be a more preferable option than creating his own page.

He is quoted by website E! Online as saying: "I'd rather have a rectal examination on live TV by a fellow with cold hands than have a Facebook page!"

Jason Reitman, who directed Clooney in new movie Up In The Air, also agrees with the Ocean's Thirteen star as he believes social networking sites are far too intrusive.

He said: "As an actor, you give up your life to a certain extent, but you shouldn't have to give it up that much. I'm not talking about a red carpet. On a red carpet, you're there to get your photo taken. But the extent to which actors have to hide their lives, and how much they give up in their lives is too much. It's inappropriate. It's wrong."
