Clooney Raises Eight-Year-Old Twins on French Farm

George Clooney and wife Amal moved their family to a farm in France to raise their eight-year-old twins away from Hollywood scrutiny, believing France is less obsessed with fame and paparazzi and would give their children a fairer shot at a normal life. Life on the farm involves less screen time, family dinners, chores, and greater privacy — Amal reportedly collects guests' phones to protect private moments. Clooney remains professionally active, recently starring in Noah Baumbach’s Jay Kelly, returning to Broadway, earning a Venice premiere and a Tony nomination, and benefiting from productions willing to film near his European base. The family maintains multiple homes worldwide, and Clooney has embraced a quieter, farm-centered lifestyle reminiscent of his Kentucky upbringing.
