Actor George Clooney, his wife Amal Alamuddin Clooney, and their two children have officially become citizens of France.

The family, which includes their twins Ella and Alexander, aged 8, received citizenship as stated in a recent naturalization decree.

After deciding to distance themselves from the Hollywood lifestyle, the Clooneys relocated to France, a move the Oscar-winning actor and director discussed in October.

In an Esquire interview, Clooney, now 64, shared insights about their life in France and the reasons behind their decision to settle in the French countryside.

“You know, we live on a farm in France. A good portion of my life growing up was on a farm, and as a kid I hated the whole idea of it. But now, for them, it’s like – they’re not on their iPads, you know? They have dinner with grown-ups and have to take their dishes in. They have a much better life.”

“I was worried about raising our kids in L.A., in the culture of Hollywood. I felt like they were never going to get a fair shake at life,” he continued. 

In addition to his family home in France, George reportedly owns an estate in England, a villa on Lake Como in Italy, and another property near his family in Kentucky, People reported.

During his Esquire interview, Clooney talked about living in France, away from the glamor of Hollywood. 

“France – they kind of don’t give a s— about fame,” he said. “I don’t want them to be walking around worried about paparazzi. I don’t want them being compared to somebody else’s famous kids.”
