The Clooneys - is it real

Just that, they seem so deliriously in love in every picture I've seen of them.

More power to them if they are that happy, they've both hit the jackpot in so many ways.

But.. to still look so enthralled with each other after so many years??

For all of you saying he's gay and using the marriage as cover so he can get into politics - newsflash; Ireland had a gay prime minister.

Also newsflash - they've been married for 11 years! When is his new career in politics going to happen, then?

This. I thought it was well known he’s a closet gay and she was a contract wife.

Well known or just a baseless rumour that keeps doing the rounds?

I have no idea , but obviously there are posters on here who are privy to verifiable information some of us aren’t, so it would be interesting to know what that is and how they came about it.

Is it a sort of insult?
Get away from me, you randy grueber.

Ah, American names; don’t you just love ‘em? Reminds me of Spunk Davis, cherished by Martin Amis’ readers.

Not exactly Clooney-level A listers, are they?

The poster didn't specify A-listers – they said out and proud in Hollywood.

What is with this phenomenon where people are convinced that very famous people cannot be in real relationships? All these comments claiming George must be gay echo the ones on the Taylor Swift thread yesterday saying her relationship is a cover too? It's so strange that people think like this.

I imagine they have quite small lives, so comfort themselves by obsessing over others. The ones who claim beard are likely both homophobic and sexist as they clearly believe women are just tools to benefit men.

Charabanc · 29/08/2025 19:03

Lolling hard at people who think George needs a beard because he wants to go into politics.

When's that going to happen, then? He's 64. He would deffo be a Democrat. Why didn't he make his move in Trump 1? Why isn't he making his move in Trump 2? It's not happening, people.

I changed my name for this! But my parents live next to the Clooneys! Lovely by all accounts. And he’s not gay!

How do you know?

Amal Clooney is intelligent, successful and beautiful. Why on earth would someone expose themselves to the scrutiny she must live under. If she wanted the money she could have married someone anonymous.

George Clooney is seriously punching.

Jonathan Bailey? You know, him of Bridgerton fame, Wicked and Jurassic Park.
Out and proud and huge box office.

This is different, JB is only just making it, and has a niche in that both sexes think hes fab. GC made his name being a suave sex symbol

It very well could be that they each have a busy and successful life, so they are genuinely happy together.

I don't know the details of their life, but I know enough couples with very successful and interesting individuals, busy with work who are best friends because they have things to talk about, they are friends, and they don't spend their life like so many posters on here, bickering about doing "bedtime" together or the food shop.

What kills many couple is the boredom and the petty details of mundane life. How can you keep the sparks between 2 people when they argue about the direction of the toilet paper or the other one farts in bed?

This.

They seem to have a most fabulous life.

Is he gay in the way Hugh Jackman is gay, ie he was married to his ‘beard’ for years, then left her…for another woman. So most likely not gay at all.

This was a strange one, something must have triggered it as its been very out that he's gay.

she's not Kate Middleton who fought for that life, Clooney is famous but his private life is actually private. A few public events can be interesting I am sure.

Firstholiday · 29/08/2025 18:57

Definitely gay. I used to read loads of items saying Rande and him were the actual couple, that Cindy C is gay as well. Amal is the ideal wife if going into politics and apparently she loves the glamorous existence too. Who wouldn't though, two beautiful kids, mega rich? After years of men being a disappointment, I would quite happily be her! I think thats also why Angelina distanced herself, because she's not the fake type

So your theory is that while it may not be a marriage of convenience per se, it cannot be what it seems to be, ie a happy and fulfilling relationship ?

I think you asked the wrong question anyway.
The mystery is: What in the name of God was Amal thinking with that ‘Sabrina Carpenter/Debs Disco Chic’ fuchsia satin gown monstrosity? Thought she had much better taste 😳

Of course it can be real and good luck to them both if it is, they are blessed.

I just wondered, hence the thread.

I don't buy the gay line either. I've never heard any evidence of him being gay and he just doesn't give any vibes..
