George Clooney says that he didn’t want “weird ass names” for his kids and he has a good reason behind it, too. The Hollywood star recently opened up about his home life and a few of the things he’s been doing during lockdown with his family. Here’s what he has to say.
Speaking to AARP in a new interview, George made it clear that modernity is very important to him and his family. He said that he and his wife Amal Clooney named their kids Alexander and Ella because “I didn’t want, like, weird-ass names for our kids. They’re already going to have enough trouble. It’s hard being the son of somebody famous and successful. Paul Newman’s son killed himself. Gregory Peck’s son killed himself. Bing Crosby had two sons kill themselves. I have an advantage because I’m so much older that by the time my son would feel competitive, I’ll literally be gumming bread.”
George Clooney Didn’t Want ‘Weird Ass Names’ For His Kids
Continuing the theme of modernity, George Clooney is also reshaping the way dads parent. The actor told the publication that he not only rewired his assistant’s sewing machine, but he did a lot of sewing himself.
“I do a lot of sewing the kids’ clothes,” he says. “And my wife’s dress that tore a couple of times. I was a bachelor for a long time and didn’t have any money, and you have to learn how to repair things,” he adds. “If we were on an island and you had to pick somebody to help you survive, I would pick me. Ask all of my friends and they would pick me, too. I can make a waterspout out of this and a pitcher out of that.”
How about that for a modern dad, right?
