Clooneys Say Raising Twins on a French Farm Offers a Fairer Start Than Hollywood

A new Esquire cover story details their move from Los Angeles to prioritize privacy.

Overview

  • George Clooney says he worried Los Angeles' Hollywood culture would deny his children a fair shake, adding that people in France care less about fame.
  • He describes farm life as more grounded, with limited screen time, dinners with adults, and chores like taking dishes in.
  • The couple’s twins, Ella and Alexander, are eight, and the family has never published the children’s photos.
  • Amal Clooney has said she uses a phone basket to collect guests’ devices to preserve private moments at home.
  • Clooney continues working publicly, including a spring Broadway run of Good Night and Good Luck and promoting Noah Baumbach’s Jay Kelly after its Venice premiere.
