George Clooney Details Raising Twins on French Farm to Keep Them Out of Hollywood

Clooney says life in rural France offers their twins privacy from celebrity scrutiny.

Overview

  • In a newly published Esquire interview, the actor describes relocating with Amal and their eight-year-old twins to a French farm to avoid Los Angeles’ celebrity culture.
  • He cites concerns about paparazzi and comparisons with other famous families, noting that people in France show little interest in fame.
  • Clooney says the children have an analogue routine that keeps them off iPads, eat dinner with adults, and clear their dishes.
  • He describes vineyards, roughly 1,200 olive trees, and a tractor on the property, and recounts painting a fence with the twins rather than hiring help.
  • The comments follow recent statements that he is slowing his work pace to spend more time at home with his family.
