It was revealed on Thursday that George Clooney had been stricken with Malaria in early January and now the actor is making jokes about the illness!

"Even with Malaria it's just good fun," Clooney tells Piers Morgan on tonight's episode of "Piers Morgan Tonight."

While the Oscar winner is no longer suffering from the symptoms of Malaria, he does reveal this wasn't the first time he's been infected.

"I've had it twice," he says. "I guess the mosquito looked at me and thought I was the bar."
