Too Much: George Clooney Confesses How He Met Amal, the Mother of His Children

George Clooney and Amal Clooney are one of the most admired couples in Hollywood. Their love story seems like something out of a movie but the truth is that it all began in the most unexpected way. The famous actor has revealed that it was a mutual friend who arranged their first meeting in July 2013.

George has just confessed how he met Amal, the mother of his children. There are many rumors but the truth is unique. The couple met through a mutual friend; the rest is false.

The actor, who was 52 years old at the time, wasn't planning on falling in love or starting a family. However, everything changed when he met Amal Alamuddin, a prestigious lawyer specializing in human rights. From the first moment, Clooney felt that she was different from anyone he had met before.

"I really thought I wouldn't have much of a chance with her because I was 17 years older," he confessed in a recent interview. Although he initially hesitated, it soon became clear that the connection between them was special.

George Clooney remembers in detail the day he met Amal. In an interview with The New York Times, the actor explained that a mutual friend organized a meeting at his house on Lake Como in Italy. At that moment, Clooney didn't suspect that his life was about to change forever.

"My agent called me and said: 'I'm going to stop by your house on the lake and I'm bringing a friend.' I said, 'Great, let them come,'" he recounted. When he saw Amal for the first time, he was impressed by her intelligence, elegance, and charisma. "I remember we spent the whole night talking. There was something about her that captivated me immediately," he confessed.

From the beginning, Clooney realized that Amal was not like the women he had dated before. Not only was she brilliant and successful in her career but she also had a great sense of humor and a passion for justice that left him fascinated.

Despite the evident attraction, George Clooney had a concern: the age difference. With 17 years between them, the actor wasn't sure if Amal would want a relationship with someone older. "I had this conversation with Amal when I turned 60," he reveals.

The actor confessed that he spoke openly with his wife about the future and the challenges they might face due to his age. "I told her: 'Look, I can still play basketball full court. I can still run. I can still do pretty much everything I did when I was 30. But in 30 years, I'll be 90.'"

However, Amal never saw the age difference as a problem. For her, the most important thing was the connection they shared and the values they had in common. Thus, what began as a simple introduction between friends soon turned into a serious relationship.

George Clooney and Amal: an Iconic Couple

As months went by, the relationship between George and Amal grew stronger. Clooney, who until then was known as Hollywood's most eligible bachelor, began to think about marriage in a completely new way.

Less than a year after meeting, the actor proposed to her during a romantic evening at his place. "I put on music, prepared dinner, and asked her to marry me," Clooney recalled. Amal, surprised by the proposal, took a couple of minutes to respond, something that left the actor completely nervous.

Finally, she said yes and in September 2014, the couple celebrated a luxurious wedding in Venice surrounded by family, friends, and Hollywood stars. Since then, they have built a solid relationship based on love, respect, and mutual support.

Before meeting Amal, George Clooney had no plans to become a father. However, his wife made him change his mind. In 2017, the couple welcomed their twins, Ella and Alexander, who became the center of their world.

"I really didn't want to be a father. Then I met Amal and we fell in love. After that, everything made sense," the actor admitted. For him, family became the priority and today he enjoys his role as a husband and father.
