George Clooney

After a visit to terrorist hotbed, Sudan, George Clooney contracted the deadly disease, malaria, but due to medicine, which is often in short supply on the continent, the Hollywood actor recovered from infirmity. He went on to inappropriately label malaria "good fun" - irrespective of the fact it continues to kill millions of people, including children.
