George Clooney, in his own words, never wanted a family of his own before meeting his current wife, Amal.
“I didn't want to get married.
I didn't want children.
And then this extraordinary person came into my life and I was madly in love straight away, «said the Hollywood actor on the podcast» WTF with Marc Maron «.
"From the moment I met her, I knew everything would be different."
About a year after their wedding, they decided together that they wanted to have children, Clooney said.
“We were at a friend's house and there was a terribly noisy and exhausting child.
We went for a walk outside, «reported the 60-year-old.
They would have talked about how lucky they were in life and with each other.
"She said: Seems like we should share this happiness with others."
"I think we should try"
Clooney said he thought about it for about a minute.
The moment was very emotional, "because I was really convinced that that wasn't my lot in life and that I felt comfortable with it."
Clooney and the British-Lebanese human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin married in 2014. In 2017 their twins Ella and Alexander were born.
The actor also commented on the case of his colleague Alec Baldwin.
The 63-year-old probably accidentally shot the camerawoman Halyna Hutchins on October 21 while filming the western "Rust" in New Mexico when he was firing the prop weapon during a rehearsal.
Clooney said gun safety must be a top priority on set.
“Every time I come into contact with a gun on set, every time a gun is handed to me by the crew, I take a close look at it, I open it, I show it to the person I'm pointing it at and show it to the crew, ”says Clooney.
Everyone in the industry is doing it, and everyone knows it.
One problem is that fake cartridges can hardly be distinguished from real ones on the set.
