George Clooney Opens Up About Honor & Longtime Friendships
GettySpeaking candidly with “Extra’s” Mona Kosar Abdi, Clooney acknowledged that the honor came with both pride and a touch of nerves.
“It’s a little nerve-wracking,” he said of receiving the prestigious award.
He also expressed appreciation for the friends who showed up to celebrate him, including Julianna Margulies, his longtime “ER” co-star.
“It’s fun to see them. I love them. I admire them, and the fact that they’re here tonight is really a sweet thing.”
Looking back, Clooney reflected on their shared journey, saying, “We kind of grew up together on the screen, and it’s like over 30 years ago we did ‘ER.’”
Calling her “family,” he fondly remembered encouraging her early on to stay with the series during a time of uncertainty about her character.
Family Life, Future Projects, and a Life in France
George and Amal have long kept their family life private, choosing not to bring their twins, Alexander and Ella, into the spotlight. Their absence from the event reflected the couple’s ongoing commitment to maintaining that boundary.
In recent years, the Clooneys has leaned into a more peaceful lifestyle in France, where they were granted citizenship in December 2025 and now spend much of their time.
“It was great… I’m here as much as I am in France. We kind of run around everywhere, but we love it there. We’re having a really beautiful time,” Clooney shared with Extra.
He also joked about celebrating Mother’s Day across continents.
Getty“You got, like, two Mother’s Days. It’s a lot of work.”
Clooney offered a brief update on his upcoming projects, confirming that the next “Ocean’s” installment is moving forward.
“We have a script. We have a director. We got the cast… I think we’re gonna start in about nine months.”
He also reacted to the prequel featuring Bradley Cooper and Margot Robbie, expressing enthusiasm for what’s ahead. “I think they’re gonna have fun. I think they’ll enjoy doing it.”
As he looks ahead, Clooney continues to embrace both his work and home life with ease, finding balance in the moments that matter most.
