George Clooney Reaffirms He’s Raising His Twins in France to Keep Them Out of Hollywood’s Spotlight

In a new Esquire interview, he says a farm life in France offers his children a calmer path than Los Angeles.

Overview

  • Clooney says he and Amal chose a French countryside home because he feared Hollywood culture would deny their twins a fair shake.
  • He describes a routine focused on offline time, shared dinners with adults, and chores, which he believes gives the children a better life.
  • The couple’s privacy rules include never publishing their kids’ images and Amal’s practice of collecting guests’ phones to protect family time.
  • Clooney previously urged media in 2021 not to run photos of the children, citing safety concerns linked to Amal’s human-rights work.
  • While based primarily in France, Clooney continues high-profile projects, including a Tony-nominated Broadway run and Noah Baumbach’s film Jay Kelly.
