When it comes to raising his family with his wife, Amal, George Clooney prefers life far from the glitter and Hollywood glamor.
In a new interview with Esquire, the award -winning actor and director of the Oscars – who shares twins of 8 years old, Ella and Alexander, with his 11 -year -old wife – spoke about his life in France and explained why they had chosen to uproot their family in the countryside.
“You know, we live on a farm in France. Much of my life growing up was on a farm, and when I was a child, I hated the whole idea. But now, for them, it’s like – they are not on their iPads, you know? They have dinner with adults and have to take their dishes. They have a much better life.”

“I was worried about raising our children in Los Angeles, in the culture of Hollywood. I had the impression that they were never going to shake just in life,” he continued. “France – They don’t give an S — on glory. I don’t want them to walk worried about the paparazzi. I don’t want them to be compared to the famous children of someone else.”

“Creating private moments and spaces is becoming more and more difficult,” said Amal Charm. “But that is also why we are very diverting a lot at home. I now have a telephone basket that I use to take everyone’s phones!”

While being a mother of twins, Amal admitted that it was vital to protect her brood.
“I would say that becoming a parent means that you are more disturbed by some of the intrusions. So we do our best to minimize any impact on our children. We do not put our children there; we have never put their photo or something like that.”
