George Clooney says he moved his family to a farm in France because he didn't want his twins to grow up in the USA

George Clooney spoke openly about the decision to move his family from Hollywood after the birth of his twins. The family of the winner of the Oscar prize now lives on a farm away from the US and, as Clooney explained, far from a Hollywood culture that would have stolen to the children the chance to have a “fair start” in life, reports Variety magazine.

“Yes, we are very lucky. You know, we live on a farm in France,” Clooney said. “I spent much of my childhood at a farm, and as kids I hated this idea with everything. But now, for them, it's nothing, they don't sit on their iPads, you know? Eat at the table with adults and they have to lead their dishes back. They have a much better life,” he explained in an interview.

“I was worried about raising our children in Los Angeles, in Hollywood culture,” the actor continued. “I felt that they would never have a fair start in life. In France, they don't care at all. I don't want them to go on the street because of the paparazzi. I don't want to be compared to the children of other stars,” he said.

Los Angeles is the city in the US where Hollywood is located, the center of the American film industry.

The actor is married since 2014 with Amal Clooney, a well-known British lawyer specialized in human rights, who over the years has been several well-known customers, including former president of Mohamed Nasheed, the founder of Wikileaks Julian Assange, former prime minister of Ukraine Iulia Timoșenko Laureate of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2021.

In 2017, the two became the parents of the twins Alexander and Ella, their only children. “Amal and I really enjoy life. Our children are 7 years old, they are about to turn 8, which is great age. They are very curious and funny,” he said in an interview earlier during this for the show Morning from American CBS television.

George Clooney is preparing for the launch of his new movie

Variety magazine recalls that Clooney has appeared quite often in the press this year, in part due to the end of its recent show on Broadway and the Tony Prize nomination Good Night and Good Luckas well as due to the role of Oscar's potential in Jay Kellya film that was presented for the premiere world at this year's edition of the Venice International Film Festival.

Clooney plays the main character, after which the movie is called. The film, which will have a limited premiere in US cinemas before being broadcast on Netflix starting December 5, has at the center of the action on a famous film actor, who is facing a personal crisis when traveling to a film festival in Italy to receive an honorary award. Laura Dern plays the role of Jay's press agency, and Adam Sandler plays the role of his manager.

One of the inner disturbances of the character Jay Kelly in the film is the long -term criticism that he always plays the same type of role – on himself.

“People say I only play my own role? I don't care at all,” Clooney told Vanity Fair before the movie premiere in Venice. “There are not too many guys of my age that are allowed to play wide comedies, as it is O Brother, where art thou?and then movies like Michael Clayton or Syriana. So, if that means I always play the same role, I don't care at all. … Have you ever tried to play yourself? It's hard to do. “

However, he revealed in March this year that he decided to no longer accept roles in romantic films, a genre that brought him commercial success and made him one of the most sought after actors in Hollywood earlier in his career.

“I am 63. 60 minutes in March.
