The Clooneys - is it real

Nespresso pods

Yup,like Rock Hudson. Probably everyone in the industry knows this but they wouldn't be making millions out of him if he was openly gay.

A few posters have mentioned about Clooney's millions. How is he still be so wealthy? I couldn't tell you the last time I saw him in anything.

People tell me all the time how my Dh and I still look so in love after 30 years. It can happen - doesn’t have to be fake

I wish I was as miserable as them 😭

I always thought Leonardo di Caprio looked like Norman Lamont.
Most unattractive.

Yeah, they sure look ruddy miserable; you must be right. 🙄

Amal's dress at the Venice Festival. Not shy anyway. She looks fab and honestly he is a very handsome man.

There were blind items online before his marriage about trafficked teen boys, one ended up dead after a balcony accident.

😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️

I'm here to assist you my little Scottish friend.

sex sells especially in Hollywood

sadly i think its impossible in Hollywood to be openly gay actor with a male partner and be A list box opening star , leading man to ladies
those that have come out and said they were gay there careers have tanked

yes there are some up and coming actors who are openly gay but I don’t think they will ever reach the AList level of say George Clooney Tom Cruise

My thoughts on who are gay but hiding it
( badly)

George Cloony
Will Smith
joh travolta
Leonardo De caprico
all of these have always played the leading generally alpha lover type male in films with a love interest who is a woman

tom cruise - in love with himself 😂

they are all huge Hollywood star who pretty much everyone knows who they are and I bet everyone on here has seen at least 1-2 if not all of there films

if your old like me then you can remember what a huge huge star Leonardo De Caprico was in titanic and he was marketed as a heartthrob for young girls / women

He was bloody everywhere and women and young girls loved him ( including me )

if he had come out as said he said he was gay his career would have sunk quicker than the the titanic did 😂

sadly coming out as gay if your an actor and your main roles are action hero. Leading man / chasing women is career suicide

Her taking his name was a canny political move. It rendered her more culturally ambiguous, from the point of view of the courts and groups in which she must fight, making her a more acceptable advisor in some biased eyes. It gave her more range.
His name definitely gave her access where it counts, too. Bianca Jagger took the same stance before her, knowing the political usefulness of a famous name.

(btw….I think you are trying to run with two horses there. Retailing low gossip AND decrying such a regrettable thing.)

Do people like her actually eat anything. 😊

(Looking at the pic of the fuschia gown)

No, but I think being from a multimillionaire Lebanese property owning family might.

I have friends who lived close to them, really close actually, but it just happened their house was quite dark and if you wanted to put your make up on you had to do it next to a certain window in the living room. It was known as the window of hope - because everyone who stood there putting their makeup on was hoping when they went out on the 15km trek people had to do when staying with these friends that George would be waiting just round the next corner for them.

Exactly but they are all very typecast theatre types - you don’t get to be George Clooney or Will Smith or Tim Cruise if you are gay and tbh I think GCs looks really help him and the acting range is limited. It’s improving no doubt but Hollywood is still very much working on the basis that sex sells - see also all the fake co/star relationship rumours pushed during publicity tours.

What have your in laws to do with the price of fish?

Who knows gay/ bi / straight - really their business. Agree that regardless they would put on a show for the red carpet as that is part of his job , glamorous publicity if promoting a film . I would like to think they are genuinely in love , but who knows ?
I don’t entirely agree with those that say she didn’t have anything to gain from it . I don’t know her background I suspect she came from a comfortable / wealthy background . She would also be earning a fantastic salary . She is in human rights law so certainly not the complete mega bucks of commercial law . But by any stretch of the imagination she would have been rich already .
But by marrying GC she became mega rich - similar to a roll over Euromillions lifestyle . Huge mansions , private jets ,
staff etc .
They also both seem to have a joint interest in human rights and have set up a foundation . She will be able to do a lot of charitable / non profit work and “ make a difference “ . She can also choose which cases she wants to take on , even if no / low paying .
She also changed her professional name to her husband’s after marriage . Other spouses of famous people ( though not all ) have wanted to be more anonymous and have kept their maiden name for that reason . By marrying it has certainly not done her too much harm , although I accept some may have thought she was becoming a celebrity rather than completely driven by her career .
They have the level of wealth that they can jet round the world and have amazing holidays . They do seem to be very careful in their public appearances and it doesn’t seem that they are turning up to all celeb events .
They certainly appear happy and as they clearly wanted a family they both have lots of choices and do not have to
worry about paying bills , childcare - whose turn it is to put the bins out / load the dishwasher .
If AC does decide that she has had enough and GC is prepared to accept a massive downgrade with looks , career ( and basically everything ) - happy to step in .

Yes, she was at a prestigious school and went to Oxford and then NYU. Then had an incredibly successful career with Human Rights cases. She hardly needed Clooney's dollars.

It is! Everyone on the floor, and sensible blokes dashing out for a smoke to escape the frenzy

What's a beard?

I think it’s an act.

My sister in law was posting happy family pictures at the start of the year. In a matter of weeks they were separated but still living together, separated and living apart, house listed for sale, offers put on two new houses, house sold, both moved into their new homes. Each step was literally 2 to 4 weeks apart. The house had sold quickly and settlement didn’t take long either. Then as soon as she’s moved into the new house she’s seeing someone, he’s seeing someone, next minute she’s in love. The entire time they were together they were taking expensive holidays posting amazing pictures and appearing so happy together. They went on hikes, socialised with friends….

It was all a performance. It was an image they were projecting. It wasn’t real.

I don’t believe she’s a beard or that they have a sham marriage. But Amal is a human rights activist as well as a lawyer, and George is also an activist who is incredibly well connected and influential within the Democratic Party. Being married to him is not going to do her career or political agenda any harm. She has far more influence married to him than she does purely through her legal work.
