George Clooney opens up about why he fears his seven-year-old twins are becoming ‘too British’

George Clooney opened up about his seven-year-old twins with wife Amal Clooney and why he thinks they’re becoming “too British” in a pair of unearthed clips.

The 63-year-old actor and his 46-year-old British-Lebanese wife share Alexander and Ella, and he opened up about his family’s holiday traditions in newly unearthed clips from 2020 and 2023.

Clooney — who appeared with Amal in St. Tropez — spoke to Stephen Colbert in a 2020 interview on Late Night, when he talked about his multilingual children.

He revealed that he tries to prevent his multilingual children from cherishing the British slang they have learned so far.

“Look, I already have problems, and that is that I’m desperately trying not to turn into little Brits,” Clooney revealed.

‘It’s not a sweater, it’s a sweater. It’s not a boot, it’s the trunk. It’s the sidewalk, it’s the sidewalk,” he said.

“I did everything I could to change their version so they could speak with an English accent, so they were writing their note,” he told Santa.

‘I said, ‘So then we leave biscuits, and my son says, ‘No, it’s milk and a mince pie.’

He revealed that he has figured out a way to get his kids to behave during the holidays.

“I figured out a way to get them to behave. When they’re sleeping in the morning and they start making noises… and you can hear them attacking each other or something, and I’m standing outside their door and I say, ‘Oh, hey, hi, Santa,'” Clooney said.

“And then you hear Santa Claus is here and he goes, ‘Ho ho ho!’ And I say, “What are you doing here, Santa?” and he says, “Oh, I’m just making sure the kids are good kids,” Clooney admitted.

“And I say, ‘I think so, Santa.’ And you can hear them say, “We are Santa Claus! We are!” said Clooney.

“And then he leaves and they come out, and they’re incredibly well behaved. By the way, that can also work for your parents at a certain age,” he joked.

Jimmy Kimmel revealed in a 2023 interview with Clooney that he encountered Amal, who told him that their twins now speak two different languages ​​that the actor does not speak: French and Italian.

The celebrated actor and filmmaker added that he thinks his children think he is “stupid” because he tries to imitate certain things in the languages ​​they know.

“I’ll try to pretend something in the wrong language, and they’ll just look at me like, ‘You’re an idiot.’
