George Clooney's rep has confirmed to X17online that the actor broke his hand over a month ago, but it wasn't in a motorcycle accident, as several European media outlets previously reported.

So what happened? George was on his property in Italy when he accidentally shut a car door on his hand! His rep tells us, "It was your basic hand in the door mishap. He is fine now."

Whew! Thank goodness. We bet he's getting lots of extra TLC from his lady love Elisabetta!
