George Clooney opens up about why he fears his seven-year-old twins are becoming ‘too British’

George Clooney opened up about his seven-year-old twins with wife Amal Clooney and why he thinks they’re becoming ‘too British’ in a pair of unearthed clips.

The 63-year-old actor and his 46-year-old British-Lebanese wife share Alexander and Ella, and he opened up about his family’s holiday traditions in newly unearthed clips from 2020 and 2023.

Clooney – who was spotted in St. Tropez with Amal – spoke to Stephen Colbert in a 2020 interview on Late Night when he talked about his multilingual children.

He revealed that he tries to prevent his multilingual children from cherishing the British slang they have learned so far.

“Look, I already have problems, which is that I’m desperately trying not to turn them into Little Brits,” Clooney revealed.

‘It’s not a sweater, it’s a sweater. It’s not a boot, it’s the trunk. It’s the sidewalk, it’s the sidewalk,” he said.

“I’ve done everything to change their version to speak with an English accent so they wrote out their note,” to Santa, he added.

‘I said, “Then we’ll leave them cookies, and my son says, ‘No, it’s milk and a mince pie.’

He revealed that he has devised a way to get his kids to behave as the holidays approach.

‘I have devised a way to make them behave. When they’re sleeping in the morning and they start making noises… and you can hear the two of them coming at each other or something, and I’m standing outside their door and I’m like, “Oh, hey, hey, Santa,” said Clooney.

And then you hear Santa is there and he says “Ho ho ho!” And I say, “What are you doing here, Santa?” and he’s like, ‘Oh, I’m just making sure the kids are good kids,'” Clooney admitted.

And I say, “I think they are, Santa Claus.” And you can hear them say, ‘We’re Santa Claus! We are!'” Clooney said.

‘And then he goes and they come out and they’re incredibly well-behaved. Incidentally, it can also affect your parents at a certain age,’ he joked.

Jimmy Kimmel revealed in an interview with Clooney in 2023 that he ran into Amal, who told him that their twins now speak two different languages ​​that the actor doesn’t speak, French and Italian.
