It was better for his career to get married. You make more money as a married man as the public trust you more. If he stayed single or just had girlfriends, the public would think he was gay or a womaniser. This is bad for business in public image.
George Clooney would beg to differ.
Riules are different when you have melanin.
I think this largely depends on what you do for a living. Athletes get paid off of what they do on the field of play. So long as you don't get arrested, your image is good enough to make off-the-field dollars. For an actor like Clooney, all he need prove is that he isn't gay, avoid major controversies, and his image is fine. In fact, it's enhanced by being seen with a lot of fine women. I think we had a recent thread on this - whether or not being married helps you climb the ladder at office. For entertainers, it may actually help you NOT to be married if you're a heartthrob...
