As In Touch exclusively revealed, the handsome hunks nearly came to blows during an altercation at Madeo restaurant in West Hollywood on November 2, and more recently, history nearly repeated itself. According to an insider, on January 4, George Clooney, 46, made a reservation at the Italian restaurant but quickly canceled it when he was told that Fabio, 48, was planning to eat there that night. However, George’s rep insists his client never tried to avoid Fabio. Instead of bumping into him again, George opted to eat at The Peninsula Beverly Hills hotel.
