George Clooney's Son Is His Spitting Image, Actor Reveals

George Clooney, the acclaimed 64-year-old actor, recently opened up about his family life in an exclusive interview at the AFI Fest 2025 in Los Angeles. Clooney, who shares 8-year-old twins Alexander and Ella with his wife Amal, a human rights lawyer, revealed that his son is the spitting image of him as a child.

"My son looks exactly like I looked when I was his age, so it is sort of cut and paste in a way," Clooney told PEOPLE. "I show him pictures of me when I was 8 and he thinks they're pictures of him." The actor expressed feeling "very lucky" to be able to spend time with his loved ones as he grows older.

Since becoming parents, Clooney and Amal have made significant changes to their lifestyle. The couple, who used to enjoy adventuring in dangerous war zones, now prioritize their children's safety. "You can't just go swinging as you used to," Clooney said. "And Amal and I both had to change our goals on where we would go."

Clooney also revealed that they chose to raise their family in France rather than Los Angeles, as he was "worried about raising our kids in L.A., in the culture of Hollywood." The actor believes his children have a "much better life" on their farm, where they can enjoy activities like having dinner with adults and doing chores, rather than being glued to their iPads.
