George Clooney George Clooney may be one of the world’s most recognizable stars, but at home, he’s just dad to his twins, Ella and Alexander. And, like any parent, George recently found himself stumped by one of those tricky questions that only kids seem to know how to ask.
The 62-year-old actor revealed that even he was caught off guard when his little ones asked him a question that left him at a loss for words.
The Oscar-winning actor shared the amusing anecdote during a candid interview with E! News , recounting the moment his 7-year-old twins asked, “What’s ‘famous?’”
As George put it, the question seemed to come out of nowhere, and neither he nor his wife, Amal, were prepared to explain the complexities of celebrity life to their young children. “We didn’t want to explain it,” he admitted, clearly feeling that famous or not, he and Amal want to keep their children’s lives as grounded as possible.
“I don’t want them to know too much about it,” he continued, explaining his desire to protect his children from the public eye.
