"Remember in July 2024 when George Clooney penned an impassioned New York Times op-ed that urged then-President Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race? Well, as well-intentioned as it might've been, it culminated in a poorly-run campaign fronted by a candidate who's now hawking a tell-all. And, in the case of the Oscar-winning actor and Democratic donor, a transatlantic move."
""We're very lucky," Clooney said. "You know, we live on a farm in France. A good portion of my life growing up was on a farm, and as a kid I hated the whole idea of it. But now, for them, it's like-they're not on their iPads, you know? They have dinner with grown-ups and have to take their dishes in. They have a much better life.""
George Clooney and his wife Amal relocated from the United States to a farm in France to raise their two children away from screens and celebrity excess. The rural setting provides chores, family dinners, and practical responsibilities that mirror aspects of Clooney’s childhood. The move aims to foster normalcy compared with wealthy Los Angeles lifestyles and reduce reliance on iPads and other devices. The relocation follows Clooney's July 2024 New York Times op-ed urging then-President Joe Biden to exit the presidential race and a subsequent poorly run campaign involving the urged candidate.
