Clooney Raises Kids on French Farm, Shuns Celebrity Life

As of November 12, 2025, acclaimed actor George Clooney, now 64 years old, has opened up about his desire to keep his 8-year-old twins, Alexander and Ella, away from the entertainment industry. In a recent interview, Clooney revealed that while some of his co-stars' children have made cameos in his latest film, he has intentionally kept his own kids out of the spotlight.

Clooney explained that his twins still have no idea what he does for a living, and he would prefer they pursue a career path similar to their mother, Amal Clooney, who is a renowned human rights and international law lawyer. The actor jokingly expressed his hope that his children would become lawyers, stating, "My god, a lawyer? That'd be amazing."

The Clooney family currently resides on a farm in France, a decision the actor made to provide his children with a more "normal" upbringing, away from the paparazzi and fame associated with Hollywood. Clooney shared that he drives his kids to school every day, a routine that brings a sense of "normalcy" to his life. He also noted that the French culture "kind of don't give a s--- about fame," which aligns with his desire to shield his family from the pressures of celebrity.

Despite his successful acting career, Clooney's primary focus appears to be on ensuring his children have a well-rounded, grounded upbringing, free from the trappings of the entertainment industry.
