In a hilarious revelation, Hollywood icon George Clooney opened up about the linguistic prowess of his 6-year-old twins, Ella and Alexander, whom he shares with wife Amal Clooney. During a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the Ocean’s Eleven star humorously admitted that his children have surpassed him in language skills, leaving him at a “tactical disadvantage” at home.
With a twinkle in his eye, the 62-year-old actor quipped about his children’s impressive multilingual abilities, sharing, “I’m not a very smart person, and I’ve armed my children.” Ella and Alexander are fluent in French and Italian, in addition to English, a linguistic feat that surpasses George’s own language repertoire.
As Jimmy Kimmel pointed out, George finds himself in a unique predicament where his children possess a linguistic advantage over him. However, rather than feeling daunted by the situation, George embraces it with good humor. “Who’s got two thumbs and doesn’t speak French or Italian?” he joked, acknowledging his linguistic shortcomings with a smile.
Despite being outmatched in language skills by his young twins, George finds joy in the playful interactions with his children. When they engage him in conversation in French or Italian, George humorously attempts to respond, often resorting to comical improvisations in an attempt to keep up with his bilingual offspring. “I kind of enjoy it,” he admitted, relishing in the amusing exchanges with his kids.
For George, the language barrier serves as an opportunity for lighthearted banter and bonding moments with Ella and Alexander. While he may not be able to match their linguistic fluency, George’s warmth and humor create an environment of love and laughter within the Clooney household.
Despite his initial reservations about fatherhood, George has fully embraced the joys and challenges of raising twins with Amal. Their journey as parents has been filled with laughter, love, and the occasional language lesson, showcasing the beautiful bond shared by the Clooney family.
