"Clooney has described the property as a farm and the main base for his family life, marking a significant shift away from Los Angeles, the traditional center of his industry and personal brand. For a two-time Oscar winner closely identified with Hollywood, turning a Provençal farm into "home" is itself a strong signal about where he believes his children's future-and his own equilibrium-can best be protected."
""I was worried about raising our kids in L.A., in the culture of Hollywood," he told Esquire recently, adding that he felt they were "never going to get a fair shake at life" there. He further explained that "France-they kind of don't give a s- about fame," and emphasized that he does not want his children "walking around worried about paparazzi" or "being compared to somebody else's famous kids.""
France has granted citizenship to George Clooney, his wife Amal, and their twins, confirming their primary residence in France at the former Domaine du Canadel wine estate near Brignoles in Provence. Clooney and his family have owned the property since 2021 and he describes it as a farm that serves as the main base for family life. The move represents a significant shift away from Los Angeles and Hollywood. Clooney cited concerns about raising children in the celebrity-driven culture of L.A., citing desires for privacy and protection from paparazzi. He said France is less fixated on fame and that his twins enjoy a screen-light, chore-heavy, family-centered routine.
