George Clooney Can’t Believe How Much His Son Looks Like Him — “It’s Like Someone Hit Copy and Paste”.NN
He’s a chip off the old block!
George Clooney revealed that his 8-year-old son, Alexander, is a spitting image of him as a kid.
“My son looks exactly like I looked when I was his age, so it’s sort of cut and paste in a way,” the actor told People at the “Jay Kelly” premiere at AFI Fest in Los Angeles on Thursday.
George, 64, shares Alexander — and his twin sister, Ella — with wife Amal Clooney, 47.
George added that when he shows Alexander old pictures of himself at the same age, he “thinks they’re pictures of him.”
“It’s pretty fun,” he gushed.
The Oscar winner further shared that he’s in a “comfortable place” in his life right now.
“I like what I do for a living, I have great friends,” he explained. “I spend time with people that I love, and I’ve been able and lucky enough late in life to be able to spend time with my family.”
George and Amal, a noted human rights lawyer, welcomed Alexander and Ella in 2017 when George was 56 years old.
He noted that both he and Amal’s lifestyles changed drastically once they had children.
“I used to enjoy going in places that were dangerous. I liked going into the Nuba Mountains and Darfur and Abyei, and there was war zones,” the “ER” alum recalled.
“I found it exhilarating. And Amal was in a bunker in Beirut for two years doing the court cases. And we had to make decisions not to do that once we had kids. You had to change sort of what the rules were.”

Earlier this month, George opened up about why he and Amal love raising the twins in rural France — instead of Los Angeles.
“You know, we live on a farm in France. A good portion of my life growing up was on a farm, and as a kid, I hated the whole idea of it,” he told Esquire. “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.”
“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,” he continued. “France — they kind of don’t give a s–t 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.”
