George Clooney told Esquire Magazine in October he was concerned about raising his children in Hollywood. He also called the family’s farm in France their primary residence.
The couple purchased an estate there in 2021, the Associated Pressreported.
“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,” Clooney 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 L. A., in the culture of Hollywood. I felt like they were never going to get a fair shake at life,” he said. “France — they kind of don’t give a s— 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.”
Clooney has been vocal about his politics by fundraising for Democratic candidates. He also an op-ed in The New York Times urging on former President Biden to drop out of 2024 presidential race.
