George Clooney Details Raising His Twins on a French Farm to Shield Them From Hollywood

He cites privacy from paparazzi as the reason for choosing rural France.

Overview

  • In a new Esquire interview, Clooney says his eight-year-old twins are not glued to iPads, dine with adults, and clear their dishes.
  • He says Los Angeles would leave them fearing paparazzi and facing comparisons to other famous children.
  • Clooney says the family lives on a farm in France, and he has been slowing his career to spend more time at home.
  • The couple has pursued strict privacy, including his 2021 open letter asking media not to publish photos of the children and Amal Clooney’s phone-basket rule for guests.
  • Reports based on the Esquire piece describe vineyards, about 1,200 olive trees, tractor rides for the kids, and a recent fence-painting chore they tackled together.
