George Clooney has been promoting his latest directorial effort, The Boys on the Boat<\/em>, in recent weeks. I\u2019ve yet to see a major interview with him though? Nothing in GQ or Esquire or some \u201ccareer retrospective\u201d in one of the trade papers (update: lmao, Deadline just released a lengthy interview with him, so scratch that!). It probably doesn\u2019t help that TBITB <\/em>is yet another poorly reviewed effort from Clooney – he\u2019s on a not-hot streak of \u201cbad Rotten Tomatoes scores\u201d and this film is no different. Which is probably why George spent most of this promotional tour giving junket interviews and talking about his wife and his marriage.<\/p>\n George Clooney is well aware that he wasn\u2019t up to Amal Clooney\u2019s lofty standards when the two got married \u2013 and joked about it during his latest interview with Page Six.<\/p>\n \u201cYes, and I still do [think that],\u201d the actor replied, when asked if he felt like he were \u201cpunching above\u201d his weight with Amal.<\/p>\n The \u201cOcean\u2019s Eleven\u201d star, who we spoke to at a special screening of \u201cThe Boys in the Boat\u201d at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, went on to say that he believes that\u2019s a common understanding.<\/p>\n \u201cEveryone would say the same thing,\u201d he said with a laugh.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n [From Page Six]<\/p>\n Amal and George will celebrate a decade of marriage next year. They got married relatively fast, given his history – they met in the summer of 2013, and he proposed in April 2014, then they married in Venice that fall. The twins were born in June 2017. I would agree that George married up, although I would also say that Amal is a saint for putting up with George\u2019s bullsh-t sometimes. George goes back and forth between doing the \u201cold ball and chain\u201d type comments and talking about how he married up. Speaking of:<\/p>\n Amal Clooney is many wonderful things \u2014 but a chef she is not. Her husband, George Clooney, recently joked that her skills in the kitchen are bad enough to kill their whole family.<\/p>\n \u201cMy wife, who is a brilliant lawyer \u2014 she\u2019s one of the great advocates of the world; she takes on ISIS and all these things \u2014 but I better be doing the cooking, or we will all die,\u201d he told \u201cExtra.\u201d When asked what he and the human rights attorney have on the menu for the coming holidays, George revealed he\u2019d be whipping up \u201ca little Christmas turkey this year,\u201d similar to the one he made on Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n [From Page Six]<\/p>\n Maybe Amal is fine with this too, maybe she knows she\u2019s not much of a cook, but sometimes George will say this kind of sh-t about her and I\u2019m mad on her behalf. <\/p>\n Photos courtesy of Avalon Red, Backgrid.<\/small><\/p>\n\n
