The trip was made to help stop a potential civil war in the area; Clooney was there working with Google and the UN to install security in the region.

Stan Rosenfield, Clooney’s spokesman, has said he is now “completely over” the sickness, adding:

“This was his second bout with it. This illustrates how with proper medication, the most lethal condition in Africa, can be reduced to a bad ten days instead of a death sentence.”

Clooney was reportedly filming his appearance on the new Piers Morgan CNN show. Morgan Tweeted earlier:

“George Clooney has contracted malaria following recent trip to Sudan.”

He then added:

“More Clooney – it’s his 2nd bout of malaria. Taking medication but feeling rough.”

His appearance on Piers Morgan Tonight airs Friday.

Get well, George!
