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??

Did he make a ‘gay’ selection of tunes?
Golly, could be anything. Swedish Death Metal, or Beethoven’s 9th? The Singing Nun?
Thing is, these gays are cunning blighters and have learned to cover their tracks. 🤔 But one certain giveaway is choosing Tammy Wynette with the KLF on Desert Island Discs
Not a lot of people know that, and I bet Amal doesn’t allow any KLF stuff in their house anyway.

I was thinking Liberace.

Actually he is gay. It’s well known in the industry.

Why not just be open about it? Sorry if it’s a naive question, but he’s not a leading man in Hollywood movies any more, so no need to worry about not getting the acting parts.

I still don’t understand what’s in it for her and why she’d have kids with him (IVF?)

George Clooney and his two partners sold Casamigos to Diageo in a deal worth a billion dollars. He is extremely wealthy outside of his acting career,

I think if anyone could come out and it not massively dent their career it would be him.

See, thsi comment is made in ignorance.

It would affect his career, especially when younger and playing hearthrobs

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

Plus the rumours of Leo and Lukas Haas being a couple. Makes sense why he has all these young gfs.

augustusglupe · 29/08/2025 22:09

Norwayway · 29/08/2025 17:27

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

Same, ditto Simon Cowell.

Calliopespa · 29/08/2025 22:10

Came to this thread expecting something really news-worthy, like the Clooneys were giving up their careers and opening a village grocery.

Norman Lamont! I knew it. He's 83 now, life in the old dog yet.

babyproblems · 29/08/2025 22:15

I’ve never ever thought he might be gay!!
I can’t see any reason at all to doubt their relationship is real and happy… if you really wanted to be single as Amal or George I think it would be quite easy! I imagine they both would have plenty of resources and plenty of options!! I don’t understand why anyone would assume they’re together for the sake of it. They’re both very financially secure and successful etc. What would be the point of a fake relationship/ unhappy marriage?!

I know nothing about her but imagine she is fascinating. She is stunning aswell but more than that I expect she is incredibly well informed on the world and charismatic.

Rumours are they aren’t even his kids. I don’t know why. Even if he was gay he could be the father. I think that sadly it is still taboo to be gay in the film industry.

Namechangedagain999 · 29/08/2025 22:16

I’m a democrat. He is a democrat. In my mind there is so much humanity needed. The world needs it, GC could be up there saving the bloody world. Except he is scared that America will reject him for being gay. No one cares. He would have been amazing. But he is so scared of what America might think about him being gay. We already got a horrendous president in USA we don’t need a wee scared one. It’s such a pity he is a scaredy cat.

Don't repeat rumours, especially those you haven't a clue about. Makes you look foolish.

How do you know I don’t have a clue. I work in the industry. You are rude. Sorry if I have burst your bubble about your crush on George.

So if you have a clue, tell us. It's not difficult.

Why on earth would any of this work colleagues know whose sperm was used in their IVF?!? It’s not the sort of thing that gets out at work, is it?!

VanessaSanessa · 29/08/2025 17:59

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

LOVE him.

SummerDaysAreTheBest · 29/08/2025 22:30

SummerDaysAreTheBest · 29/08/2025 22:28

LOVE him.

To be fair I also LOVED George Michael, and look how gay he turned out to be 🤣

TaupeMember · 29/08/2025 22:33

I think people underestimate how much money is involved at the level George Clooney is at.

Whether he is or isn't (and I think he is), there is definitely a possibility there, and anyone who says otherwise is very unknowing of the industry at the top level.

BoredZelda · 29/08/2025 22:38

ChrisMartinsKisskam · 29/08/2025 18:07

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 😂

Pete Buttegieg want’s a word….

Ratafia · 29/08/2025 22:42

roses2 · 29/08/2025 18:03

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

Clearly not. Which makes that untrue.

laurini · 29/08/2025 22:42

Honestly, maybe theyre just in love! My husband and I are really quite loved up too, and it's kinda sad that people think there might be more to it haha

Millytante · 29/08/2025 22:45

RanyaJerodung · 29/08/2025 22:01

Oh yeah, or Ethel Merman.

EnterFunnyNameHere · 29/08/2025 22:45

so enthralled with each other after so many years??

I thought they met in 2013? So hardly retaining affection over many decades! And they are both wildly successful (and rich!), so hardly have the same struggles as many couples...
