Why George Clooney went to France with his wife and children, what the actor said

Oscar-winning Hollywood actor George Clooney left Los Angeles with his wife and children a few years ago and moved to France. In a recent interview with Esquire magazine, the actor said that he is very happy with his decision. Because if they were there, they (children) would never have been able to grow up properly. Hollywood culture does not allow that to happen. I do not want them to grow up in fear of the paparazzi or to be compared to the children of other stars.

The Oscar-winning actor said that he was able to give his children a normal life by moving away from the influence of Hollywood and the hustle and bustle of the city. He said, We live on a farm in France. I spent a large part of my life on a farm, and I hated it at the time. But now it is the best place for my children.

Regarding the life of his children on the farm, the actor said, "They don't sit with their iPads all the time, they have dinner with the adults, they wash their own dishes - this is real life."

Hollywood culture is not for children. The Oscar-winning actor said that he was worried about raising his children in Los Angeles. He said, "My wife's work style puts her at risk from terrorist organizations. So the safety of the family is the most important thing for us," George Clooney said.

In the interview, Clooney also joked about the age difference between himself and his children, "I'm so old that when my son does something, I might not have a single tooth left. I'll swallow bread instead of chewing."

Recently, Amal Clooney said in another interview with Glamour magazine that they have a 'no phone' rule in place in their house. Even guests are not allowed to use phones. So that everyone can spend time with each other and the children's privacy is maintained.

Earlier, in an interview with The New York Times, George Clooney said that the farm in France is now his main residence. "Growing up in Kentucky, I wanted only one thing - to escape the farm. And now look - I'm back to that life. Driving a tractor, working. It doesn't get any more normal than that." George Clooney is currently busy promoting his new movie 'J. Kelly'. The movie will be released in theaters on November 14.

It is worth noting that George Clooney and his wife, human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, became parents to twins Alexander and Ella in 2017. They have been conscious of protecting their children's privacy from the beginning. In 2021, Clooney requested in an open letter to the media that no media outlet should publish pictures of his children.
