In an uncommonly candid interview, Hollywood icon George Clooney shared insights into his life as a father to his six-year-old twins, Ella and Alexander, whom he lovingly co-parents with his wife, Amal Clooney.
What’s particularly intriguing is the couple’s revelation that they’ve been introducing their youngsters to the world of rock music, leading to a delightful twist—Ella and Alexander have developed a genuine liking for it.
During a recent chat with Access Hollywood, Amal Clooney let slip that George has even ventured into the realm of heavy metal music when curating their kids’ playlists. It’s a surprising musical choice for such young listeners, but one that appears to have struck a chord.
George Clooney added a dash of humor to the conversation by playfully describing their twins as “headbangers.” He clarified that while the music they’re exposing their children to might not be exclusively heavy metal, it’s certainly robust enough to make their little ones groove along to the beat.
The couple couldn’t resist making light of the situation, with George jokingly remarking, “Not that we’re in any way musical. We have no musical talent… We’ve certainly not contributed to their musical genes.”
In addition to their musical musings, George Clooney’s recent Albie Awards made headlines, drawing a star-studded guest list that included luminaries like Cindy Crawford, Daniel Craig, Emily Blunt, and John Krasinski, among others.
The Albie Awards are a testament to George Clooney’s commitment to celebrating “courageous defenders of justice who take significant risks for their actions.” Named after Justice Albie Sachs, an internationally renowned South African jurist, the awards honor those who have faced imprisonment, exile, and adversity for their unwavering activism against oppressive regimes.
George Clooney’s openness about his family life, including his twins’ eclectic taste in music, continues to endear him to fans worldwide. It’s a reminder that even amidst the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, the joys and quirks of parenthood remain a universal and relatable experience.
