The Ocean’s Twelve star also touched on aging in Hollywood, a theme tied closely to his titular role in Jay Kelly.

“You can’t do it well, you just need to make peace with aging in general because there is a lot of judgment,” Clooney said.

The 64-year-old got more vulnerable when the conversation turned serious, reflecting on the demands of his career.

“And other times it costs you missing graduations and missing things, and the cost of that sometimes later in life. You’re sitting on your rocking chair, going, ‘I wish I worked more,’” he explained.

Still, Clooney admitted he’s found balance. After years of sacrifice, he said he has “adjusted” to his family’s schedule.

He and wife Amal Clooney welcomed twins Alexander and Ella in June 2017, arriving a month early. At the time, his publicist Stan Rosenfield joked in a statement, “George is sedated and should recover in a few days.”

Parenthood came three years after the pair’s glamorous Italian wedding in 2014. In fact, George once admitted they didn’t talk about kids until after tying the knot.

“There was an assumption that we didn’t want them. And then, after the wedding, Amal and I were talking and we just felt we’d gotten very lucky, both of us, and we should share whatever good luck we’ve got. It would seem self-centered to just have that belong to us,” he told The Hollywood Reporter in 2017.

He even recalled the doctor’s visit when they found out they were having twins.

“[The doctor] goes, ‘Well, there’s one.’ And I said, ‘Great.’ And then he goes, ‘And there’s the second one.’ And I was like, ‘What?’ We just sat there, staring at that piece of paper they give you, and I kept thinking there was a mistake,” he shared.

Earlier this year, George told Gayle King on CBS Mornings that his children make him happy.

“The kids are seven, about to be eight, which is a pretty great age. They’re really curious and funny ... and make us laugh,” he shared.

He also gushed about his wife.

“Amal and I are having a really great time in life. We were here with you once before and I remember we said we’d never had an argument; we still haven’t,” he said, joking, “We’re trying to find something to fight about.”

Amal, 47, also praised her husband.

“I have a partner in life who is so supportive of what I do. So I don’t feel like I have to apologize for it or rein it in,” the lawyer shared.
