At 64, George Clooney says he’s learned to let go of his vanity.
George Clooney’s secret to a lasting marriage? A little wisdom that only comes with age.
During an interview with CBS News‘ Seth Doane that aired on Sunday, Clooney spoke about growing older and how it’s changed the way he sees himself, his marriage, and his career.
Before the segment started, Doane asked if Clooney wanted to check his reflection on camera, but the actor waved him off, saying he was „too old“ to care. At 64, Clooney added, he’s learned to let go of his vanity.
„You’re chasing your tail, man. It’s going to bite you“, Clooney told Doane. „I am who I am. I look like what I look like, and it’ll be all right.“
The „ER“ star added that he doesn’t dwell on getting older.
„Well, it’s aging or death. These are two options, right? I’m OK with it. You know, I feel more grounded. Certainly, I’m less angry“, Clooney said.
That’s part of why his marriage to Amal Clooney works so well, and why they’ve never had an argument, he said.
„Well, when you’re younger, you want to be right about everything, you know. ‚Don’t paint that color on the wall'“, Clooney said.
