George Clooney Steps Away From On-Screen Kissing After Pact With Wife

The choice follows Paul Newman's example, signaling a move beyond romantic leads.

Overview

  • In a Daily Mail interview, the 64-year-old actor said he will not kiss actresses in future films, describing it as a personal agreement with Amal Clooney.
  • He said the decision followed a conversation at 60 about aging and the next phase of life, noting that the passage of time will inevitably shape his choices.
  • Clooney cited Paul Newman’s precedent of avoiding on‑screen kisses with other actresses as the model for his own boundary.
  • The move builds on his March 2025 comments on 60 Minutes that he would step back from romantic roles to leave room for younger leads.
  • Coverage links the boundary to his family-focused lifestyle in southern France and notes he remains active with recent work, including a Netflix release this month, while reports of future franchise projects are characterized as expectations rather than confirmed plans.
