George and Amal Clooney Embrace French Citizenship, Seeking Peaceful Life for Their Family
George and Amal Clooney obtain French citizenship, seeking a tranquil life for their twins away from Hollywood's intense spotlight. The move reflects their commitment to family privacy and cultural exploration.
Hollywood icon George Clooney and his internationally renowned wife, human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin Clooney, have officially become French citizens, marking a significant milestone in their family's international journey.
According to an official decree published in the French government gazette, the celebrity couple, along with their 8-year-old twins, have been granted dual citizenship, expanding their global connections and commitment to a life beyond the typical Hollywood narrative.
Clooney, 64, has been effusive in his appreciation for French culture and privacy standards, particularly regarding children. In a candid interview with RTL radio in early December, he expressed his love for the French language, acknowledging his ongoing language learning process. 'I love the French culture, your language, even if I'm still bad at it after 400 days of courses,' Clooney shared with characteristic humor and humility.
A key motivator for the family's French residency is the country's robust privacy protections. 'Here, they don't take photos of kids. There aren't any paparazzi hidden at the school gates. That's number one for us,' Clooney emphasized, highlighting the importance of providing a normal childhood for his children.
The family currently resides on a picturesque farm in southern France, a location Clooney has described as their happiest home. Amal, who speaks fluent French, adds linguistic and cultural depth to their French experience.
In a revealing interview with Esquire magazine, Clooney shared deeper motivations for their move, expressing concerns about opportunities for his children in the United States. 'I was afraid that living in the US my 8-year-olds might never get a fair shake at life,' he admitted, suggesting that their French farm offers a more balanced and nurturing environment.
This citizenship represents more than a legal status—it's a deliberate choice by the Clooneys to create a meaningful, protected life for their family, blending international perspectives with a commitment to personal peace and privacy.
