George Clooney was feeling the love inside the Sala Grande theater on Sept. 1 following the premiere of his new movie, Wolfs, at the Venice Film Festival. During a four-minute standing ovation, the smiling actor clapped along and shared a heartfelt hug with his costar and longtime friend, Brad Pitt, before the pair playfully danced to Sade's "Smooth Operator."
The screening was just one of many highlights of George's visit to Venice with his wife, Amal. Ahead of the Wolfs screening, he and the 46-year-old human rights lawyer - who will celebrate their 10-year wedding anniversary on Sept. 27 enjoyed a double date at Ristorante da Ivo with Pitt and his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, where George pretended to be a waiter and posed for photos with staffers at the Italian eatery. Later, on the red carpet, the actor sweetly helped a photographer who'd fallen to the ground, then sat with a group of delighted paparazzo members and tinkered with one of their cameras.
On Sept. 3, George and Amal departed Venice in a water taxi, leaving the fanfare behind and returning to their quiet life in France with their 7-year-old twins, Ella and Alexander. At 63, it's clear George has found his sweet spot, balancing his careerwhich is still going strong after 40 years with family time at home alongside Amal and the kids. "George loves where he's at in life," says a source. "He enjoys what he does and has no plans to retire, but he also knows there's more important things in the world than making movies."
