But now, for them, it’s like – they’re not on their iPads, you know? They have dinner with grown-ups and have to take their dishes in. They have a much better life.”George continued: “I was worried about raising our kids in LA, in the culture of Hollywood. I felt like they were never going to get a fair shake at life.“[In] France – they kind of don’t give a shit about fame. I don’t want them to be walking around worried about paparazzi. I don’t want them being compared to somebody else’s famous kids.”View this post on InstagramA post shared by Esquire (@esquire)George and Amal married in 2014, and welcomed their twins in June 2017.Earlier this year, Amal spoke openly about the measures she has introduced to protect the privacy of both herself and her two children.George and Amal Clooney pictured together last week at The AlbiesThe Ocean’s Eleven star is currently gearing up for the release of his new film Jay Kelly.George plays an aging actor in the new Netflix movie, in which his character reflects on his personal and professional choices while on a promotional tour with his manager, played by Adam Sandler.Both stars have already received Oscar buzz for their performances, with comparisons also being drawn between the real George Clooney and the character he plays in the movie.Jay Kelly will receive a limited cinematic release next month, before it arrives on Netflix in December.READ MORE:This Is Why George Clooney's New Film Has Already Got Critics TalkingGeorge Clooney Spills On The 1 Thing People Have Wrong About This Famous FriendGeorge Clooney Reveals His Wife Amal’s Reaction When He Came Home With His New Hair
