« But now, for them, it’s like — they’re not on their iPads, you know? » George Clooney said.
George Clooney’s kids are growing up away from Hollywood, and that’s exactly how he wants it.
In an interview with Esquire published on Monday, the actor spoke about family life and his decision to raise his kids in France.
« You know, we live on a farm in France. A good portion of my life growing up was on a farm, and as a kid I hated the whole idea of it. But now, for them, it’s like — they’re not on their iPads, you know? They have dinner with grown-ups and have to take their dishes in. They have a much better life », Clooney, 64, told Esquire.
The actor added that he was « worried » about raising his children in LA, in « the culture of Hollywood. »
« I felt like they were never going to get a fair shake at life », Clooney said. But in France, he added, people are largely indifferent to fame.
« I don’t want them to be walking around worried about paparazzi. I don’t want them being compared to somebody else’s famous kids », he said.
Clooney and his wife, human-rights attorney Amal Clooney, welcomed twins, Alexander and Ella, in 2017.
