Amal and George have opened up about the adorable way they got together
EXPENSIVE jewellery, exotic flowers, fabulous holidays . . . When it comes to wooing a woman, George Clooney with all his money and Hollywood heart-throbbiness could pretty much do anything.
But according to his wife he opted to fall back on his goofy sense of humour – and it worked a treat.
Amal Clooney (40), the high-flying human rights lawyer who took gorgeous George off the eligible bachelor list, has done a rare thing: afforded a public look into her deeply private life.
In an interview with US Vogue magazine she opened up about how he stole her heart – and it was all thanks to his beloved cocker spaniel, Einstein.
Amal recalls how, after meeting the Money Monster star at a party at his Lake Como home in Italy in 2013, he bombarded her with emails pretending he was Einstein. The pooch claimed to be trapped and in need of legal help and she was the only one who could provide it.
Amal was intrigued and charmed and agreed to have dinner with him at a London restaurant. Things developed from there and the relationship “felt like the most natural thing in the world”, she says.
“I always hoped there could be love that was overwhelming and didn’t require any weighing or decision-making.”
Until George came along she’d all but given up on finding a worthwhile partner, she adds.
“I was 35 when I met George. It wasn’t obvious it was going to happen for me.”
George was smitten from the get-go. “Of course she was beautiful but I also thought she was fascinating and brilliant. Her life was incredibly exciting – the clients she was taking on and the super human work she was doing. I was taken with her from the moment I saw her,” he tells the magazine.
He says they stayed up all night talking after the party on the night they met.
