"George Clooney projects confidence. On screen, he has played the compassionate pediatrician Doug Ross ("ER"), the suave conman Danny Ocean ("Ocean's Eleven"), and the charming hero in far too many films to list here. During interviews off-screen, Clooney comes across as surprisingly down-to-earth, a good father, and deeply invested in his relationship with his wife, Amal Clooney (née Alamuddin), a prominent human rights attorney and activist."
"Clooney opened up about feeling inadequate when comparing himself to his wife. Though he may be a charismatic and well-respected actor and director, he began to feel as though she would eventually grow tired of his charm and recognize his shortcomings. The feeling nagged at him and began to eat away at his confidence. He eventually found himself reading international law journals at night and listening to lectures from Oxford University to become more of an active participant in conversations"
George Clooney projects confidence on screen and appears down-to-earth off-screen, a committed father invested in his marriage to Amal Clooney, a human rights attorney and activist. He admitted feeling inadequate when comparing himself to his wife, worrying she might tire of his charm and see his shortcomings. The insecurity eroded his confidence, prompting him to read international law journals and listen to Oxford lectures to contribute to conversations with her circle. Amal felt similarly inadequate in different ways, fearing she could not match his affability. The couple had a three-hour conversation about believing the other was too good for them.
