George Clooneyis opening up about the importance of family time.
In a new interview withThe Guardian, the 60-year-old actor shares why he and wife Amal choose to not have a full-time nanny for their 4-year-old twins Ella and Alexander.
Asked whether the successful couple has several nannies at home to take care of their kids, Clooney says, “We don’t, because it’s so important to Amal [to be involved].”
“We have a nanny four days a week and the rest of the time it’s just us,” he explains. “And during lockdown it was just us – for a full year! I felt like my mother in 1964, doing dishes and six loads of laundry a day.”
The Tender Barstar also reveals why he and Amal, 43, decided on “normal names” when picking monikers for their little ones.

Speaking about his young twins, the actor says they are “so different; it’s like night and day.”
Last month, theUp in the Airstar caught up with Marc Maron on theWTF with Marc Maronpodcast and recalled theday he found out he and Amal were expecting twins.
“Listen, I didn’t want to get married. I didn’t want to have kids. And then this extraordinary human being walked into my life and I just fell madly in love. Then I knew from the minute I met her that everything was going to be different,” he began.
“[Amal’s] sister has twins and I was gobsmacked because … I was kind of up for one. … I love it now,” he added. “And thank God they have each other during the pandemic.”
