Twin Transformation Why George Is Kissing Hollywood Goodbye

THE SILVER FOX IS FOCUSING ON HIS MOST IMPORTANT ROLE EVER

Ron Kelly
Twin Transformation Why George Is Kissing Hollywood Goodbye

He may have won an Oscar for his role in 2005’s Syriana, but the true tour de force of George Clooney’s career is no doubt his latest. Just ask his wife Amal and their 10-month-old twins Alexander and Ella.

“George acts up a storm when he reads Dr Seuss books to his kids at bedtime, even though they don’t understand the words yet,” a friend of the doting dad tells the Weekly.

“He does high voices, low voices – he really gets into all the characters. It makes the kids and Amal laugh each and every time!”

And Alexander “laughs louder than anyone in the room”, George boasts. “It’s the funniest thing.”

These days, George spends as much time rolling around on the floor of his kids’ room as he does walking Hollywood red carpets – and he’d have it no other way.

“What a great father he is,” Amal (40) gushes of the man she married in 2014, three years before she turned America’s most eligible bachelor into a first-time dad at the age of 56.

George, who turned 57 on May 6, is as amazed as anyone with how much his kids have transformed his life.

“It’s wild. The first thing you think is, I hope I don’t screw this up,” he says of the joys and challenges of fatherhood, which is why he recently pulled out of starring in Hulu’s Catch-22 series.

“He knows he’s getting older,” the friend says, “and he needs to be sure he’s healthy for his twins. He wants to conserve his energy and stepping back from that project is a part of that.”
