"French officials said that foreign nationals who contribute to the country's international influence and economic well-being are eligible for naturalization under French law. George Clooney's international star power and its potential benefits for French cinema, combined with Amal Cloony's steady work with French academic institutions and international organizations as a human-rights lawyer, fit the bill. They contribute, through their distinguished actions, to France's international influence and cultural outreach, the government said of the Clooneys. They maintain strong personal, professional and family ties with our country."
"Clooney, his wife, Amal Clooney, and their 8-year-old twins, Ella and Alexander, took up residence on the 425-acre Domaine du Canadel estate and winery in Brignoles, in southern France, in 2021, and Clooney counts it as his primary residence. It's now official, Brignoles Mayor Didier Bremond announced once the sale was final. George and Amal Clooney are residents of our beautiful community."
The French government naturalized George Clooney, his wife Amal, and their twins after they established primary residence at a 425-acre estate in Brignoles in 2021. A junior Interior Ministry minister raised fairness concerns about the decision. Local officials confirmed the Clooneys as residents following the finalized sale. Clooney has said the South of France offers greater privacy for his family and a preferable life for their children. Government justification cited eligibility for naturalization of foreign nationals who enhance France's international influence and economic well-being, noting George Clooney's star power and Amal Clooney's human-rights and academic work.
