"The publication, in France's government gazette, confirms an ambition Clooney alluded to early in December when he hailed French privacy laws that keep his family shielded from paparazzi. "I love the French culture, your language, even if I'm still bad at it after 400 days of courses," the 64-year-old actor told RTL radio at the time, in English. "Here, they don't take photos of kids. There aren't any paparazzi hidden at the school gates. That's number one for us," he said."
"The now-dual US-French citizen has a long attachment to Europe, which pre-dates his 2014 marriage to Amal, a British-Lebanese human rights lawyer who speaks fluent French. Clooney owns an estate in Italy's picturesque Lake Como region, purchased in 2002, and he and Amal bought a historic manor in England. Their property in southern France - a former wine estate called the Domaine du Canadel, near the village of Brignoles - was purchased in 2021."
George Clooney, his wife Amal Alamuddin Clooney and their two children acquired French citizenship by official decree published in France's government gazette. The decree formalizes Clooney's long-standing ties to Europe and follows his praise of French privacy laws that shield families from paparazzi. Clooney said he loves French culture and language despite beginners' courses, and valued the absence of photographers at school gates. The family owns properties in Italy, England and southern France, as well as in New York and Kentucky, and sold homes in Los Angeles and Mexico. The couple are parents to eight-year-old twins and Clooney has earned Oscars and substantial endorsement and brand-sale income.
