George Clooney and Amal Clooney Reveal What Their Kids Think of Their Fame

When it comes to fame, how much George Clooney and Amal Clooney’s kids understand is still up in the air.
In fact, at only 7 years old, the couple’s twins Ella and Alexander are better able to wrap their heads around one of their parent’s professions than the other.
“They know what a lawyer is,” George, 63, exclusively told E! News at the couple’s annual Albies event, hosted by the Clooney Foundation, to which Amal confirmed, “Yeah when they play games, when someone goes to prison, they're like, ‘It's okay, Mama can get them out.’ I think that's what they've reached.”
But on whether they’ve seen anything from their father’s filmic repertoire, George gave a resounding, “No.”
“I don't want them to for the most part,” he continued. “But they did say to me one day when they came home from school, ‘What's ‘famous?’ Which we didn't want to explain.” (For more with George and Amal at The Albies, tune into E! News Monday, Sept. 30 at 11 p.m.)
Nonetheless, having a dad as ubiquitous as George Clooney means they’re starting to understand.
As Amal, 46, noted, “They know you're an actor. I think. They find it intriguing.”
But at the same time, he’s still dad—a fact no better explained than in George’s recounting of Alexander dressing up as Batman, a role he played in 1997’s Batman & Robin.
“My son dressed up as Batman not long ago,” the Ocean’s 11 actor remembered. “And he said, ‘I'm Batman.’ I told him I was Batman. He goes, ‘Not really.’”
To which George quipped, “And I was like, ‘You have no idea how accurate you are.’”
Yet, while George and Amal have both become prolific figures in their own right with equally busy schedules, they make spending time with each other—and as a family—a priority.
“We're actually together so much it’s crazy,” George noted, while Amal continued, “We both work from home as much as possible and we try not to spend too much time apart when we're traveling, so we basically follow each other around the globe. We're lucky.”
Which also means there’s plenty of time for the little things. As George added, “We get to drive the kids to school in the morning and all that kind of stuff. So it’s fun.”
Because, after all, now almost a decade into their marriage, the pair have had time to figure it out.
But one thing Amal is still hoping to figure out is where George is taking her for their tenth wedding anniversary.
“We’re going somewhere,” Amal explained, “but he won’t tell me where we’re going.”
And other admitting the mystery location is somewhere in the United States, George teased, “If I tell you, it would ruin everything.”
