George Clooney is now a French citizen

"I don't want them to be walking around worried about paparazzi, Clooney said. I don't want them being compared to somebody else's famous kids. Clooney, who now maintains dual citizenship in the U.S. and France, married British human rights lawyer Amal Clooney in 2014. She speaks fluent French, according to the Guardian. The 64-year-old actor told the New York Times in February that his family still has homes in England and the U.S, but spends most of their time on a farm in France,"

"Celebrities including Rosie O'Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres indicated they recently left the U.S. in favor of a more liberal cultural climate. That isn't the reason Clooney gave for relocating, but he said in a 2020 interview with SIRIUS radio host Howard Stern that he sees the U.S. President as a dumb goofball who was desperate to be seen with celebrities like himself. Trump dismissed Clooney as a second rate movie star' in a March social media post."

George Clooney, his wife Amal and their children were granted French citizenship, and the family now maintains dual U.S.-French nationality. The family spends most of their time on a farm in France, where Clooney values the privacy and lack of paparazzi for his 8-year-old twins. Amal Clooney speaks fluent French and the family still retains homes in England and the U.S. Some American performers have moved overseas amid changing political climates, though Clooney cited privacy for the children as the primary benefit. Clooney has previously criticized the U.S. President and endured public rebukes from the former president on social media.
