14 DAY TRIAL // George Clooney met Amal Alamuddin, fell in love and got married within the space of a few months, which was surprising for the world’s most desirable bachelor, particularly because as he’d vouched he’d never marry again.
The former “ER” star has never been keen on oversharing personal information with the media to get more publicity for his films, but it seems that married life has made him more mellow in this regard, because here he is, doing 2 separate interviews and kindly taking questions not about the movie he’s promoting (“Tomorrowland” from Disney), but about Amal.
Amal has amazing fashion sense, is very smart and fun
Again, it’s common practice for celebrities to throw the media tidbits from their personal life during the promo trail for a movie, just so they can have something juicy to pick apart in the interview. Clooney has rarely done it, which is why it’s so surprising that he’s doing it now.
On the bright side, it’s adorable to see that he’s just as smitten with Mrs. Clooney as he must have been at the start of the relationship.
In both interviews, one with ET Online and the other with Extra, he talks about Amal’s fashion style and how come she never gets an outfit wrong (she doesn’t even have a stylist, he proudly proclaims), her amazing work that touches so many lives, and what she got him for a birthday present.
Contrary to rumors online, he did not get a brand new Porsche or a smoothie maker, which is basically just a fancier version of the traditional blender. He can’t say what he got, unfortunately.
“Tomorrowland” and why he wanted to be a part of it
Only the second interview, with Extra, touches on the film he’s promoting, “Tomorrowland,” which will be out in theaters on May 22.
Clooney says he’d been waiting for a very long time to work with Brad Bird when the opportunity came up, and he jumped at the chance. He also tells an interesting story about how the idea for the script came to be, when scribe Damon Lindelof stumbled across an old box with Disney blueprints.
As per his own admission, Clooney found the idea he came up with absolutely irresistible because it was so imaginative and original.
