Here's What Happened to the Real Life George (played by Aaron Eckhart)

What happened with Erin's biker boyfriend George in real life?


Erin's biker boyfriend George (Aaron Eckhart) from the film is in fact a real person. In real life things didn't work out between Erin and George. However, he did come back into her life shortly after the film's release, but it wasn't under pleasant circumstances. George, Erin's ex-husband, and an attorney contacted Ed Masry and demanded that the three of them be paid $310,000 or else they were going to tell the press that Erin was an unfit mother and that she and Ed once had a relationship. Erin and Ed did not give in to the threats that they deem are false. Instead, they told the three individuals to go ahead and carry out their actions. A district attorney soon stepped in, and a sting operation was set up. All three individuals were arrested for extortion, including the biker, George. Both Erin's ex-husband and George were quickly released. However, the attorney was still serving time in a California jail as of August 2001. -NPR, source
