Let’s be honest—George Clooney’s life is anything but ordinary. But even for someone who spends most of his time jet-setting around the globe for Hollywood blockbusters, the pandemic threw him a curveball. In a candid conversation with the Los Angeles Times, the legendary actor opened up about what it’s been like adjusting to life in lockdown with his wife, Amal Clooney, and their adorable twins, Ella and Alexander. Spoiler alert: It’s been an adventure filled with laughter, love, and yes, a lot of dishes.
Life Inside the Clooney Household: A Year Like No Other
At 59 years old, George Clooney has seen it all—or so we thought. But when the world came to a screeching halt in 2020, this ER veteran found himself settling into a new routine. “It’s been nine months mostly inside the house,” he revealed in the interview. With two energetic 3-year-old twins running around, you might imagine the chaos. “That’s been an adventure in a lot of washing dishes and changing diapers,” he joked, adding with a wink, “My own, mostly.”
Gratitude Amid Uncertainty
Despite the challenges, George and Amal, 42, count their blessings. “We have a great deal of gratitude for being able to safely quarantine in our home and have some security,” George shared. But let’s be real—no amount of gratitude can replace the joy of being with family. The actor confessed that he misses his 87-year-old dad, Nick Clooney, a former journalist whose wisdom has always been a guiding light in George’s life. “I miss being with my family,” he admitted, his voice tinged with longing.

Staying Positive in Tough Times
When asked how he stays optimistic during such a difficult year, George didn’t mince words. “It’s been a crappy year. It has. But we’re gonna get through it,” he declared. His confidence isn’t just blind hope—it’s rooted in faith. “If I didn’t believe that, I don’t know how we’d raise kids in this world. We’re gonna get through these things, and my hope and my belief is that we will come out better.”
Keeping Spirits High: Pranks and Playfulness
To keep the mood light at home, George has been pulling out all the stops. In late December 2020, the proud dad revealed one of his clever tricks for keeping Amal entertained. “I taught them to put Nutella in their nappy and then go upstairs and take it off, and then pick it up and eat it,” he joked on The Graham Norton Show. “The sound you hear … .” Can you imagine the laughter echoing through the house?
