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??

Beard.

Who knows. BUT the photos are all at events, they put on a public show. Photos of most couples at events, where they’re in public, maybe having a drink or two, show them happy, smiling and looking at each other with pride and affection. They’re likely wanting to throttle each other behind closed doors where he breathes too loudly and constantly his throat, and she always leaves a puddle on the counter after she’s made a cup of tea.

Beard.

Really???Do we know who else is involved?

Beard.

Lazy and not particularly well thought out comment.

GC is massively into human rights over the whole spectrum and the idea that someone of that mindset would go that far to keep himself in the closet is beyond absurd.

Beard.

That’s actually laughable, clooney is clearly not gay, and even if he was, he certainly wouldn’t need a beard, nor would a successful human rights lawyer agree to it and have kids with him. Cmon, lazy comment,

Norwayway · 29/08/2025 17:27

He’s definitely gay. I can’t imagine him being straight

Flamingoknees · 29/08/2025 17:29

As real as images of any couple, in public settings, are.

TartanBarmy · 29/08/2025 17:30

so many many rumours about Rande Gerber but I agree that if he wanted to be out he would be out. But he may think it’s no one’s business which it isn’t. And she might be gay too!

MyGreyStork · 29/08/2025 17:30

Yup he’s gay.

IMissSparkling · 29/08/2025 17:30

I have never thought it was a genuine relationship but I suppose they must both get something out of it.

lnks · 29/08/2025 17:31

Can anyone give one reason why they think he is gay?

RanyaJerodung · 29/08/2025 17:33

There's no evidence he's gay. Where does this come from?

VanessaSanessa · 29/08/2025 17:54

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..

Oh well then. End of discussion

yogpot · 29/08/2025 17:55

Why on earth would Amal, an absurdly successful human rights lawyer who has continued in this career and not attempted any kind of showbiz pivot, agree to be a beard? What possible benefit would she get from that?! She doesn’t need him!

I think he gets all the benefits in this relationship (and I’m sure he would agree!) in terms of social clout etc.

So perhaps they’re just a disgustingly attractive, successful couple who are in love. Enough to make my blood boil, tbh 😂

SoftPillow · 29/08/2025 17:56

As long as they are both happy with their marriage that’s what counts. They seem to have a lovely life and I hope they’re happy behind the scenes. She seems like an intelligent and interesting person to be married to, lucky him!

OrangeSmoke · 29/08/2025 17:58

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.

VanessaSanessa · 29/08/2025 17:59

To be fair, I think Amal is lucky also, he's not half bad to look at!! 😁

Taylor is definitely not doing it for publicity, why on earth would she.

I had read years ago that George has his eyes on politics and Amal was a good spouse to have for that for credibility. I think if he was interested in running for anything, he'd have at least ran for the Senate or something by now.

Beard.

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

Bold thing to say about someone who I presume you don’t know!

AmyDuPlantier · 29/08/2025 18:03

I honestly find this whole topic so boring. There’s a thread on this right now about Taylor Swift.

Why can famous people never just fall in love without the conspiracy theories? They’ve been together a decent amount of years, and they have children old enough to read shite on the internet.

Maybe give it a rest?

HollyhockDays · 29/08/2025 18:05

As a pp said what would be in it for Amal being a beard?

What is your source for such a statement?

Oh Yeah I remember reading that about him
and Randy Greuber

Doesn’t GC want to eventually go into politics and therefore needs a wife / 2.4 kids to

however when I o hear the name Randy Grueber I always think of Hans Grueber in Die hard 😂
