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??

On the topic of Ireland having had a gay Taoiseach, yes, but I think the USA is very very far from electing a gay president, which is presumably what Clooney would want if he went into politics?

Totally agree.

It took Ireland a while to shake off some of the catholic hangover but shake it off they have. Not so sure about conservative America.

You're seriously invested in this ! A bit sad really

It’s not @ChrisMartinsKisskam who’s the sad one here.

Amal is not some mindless wannabe hitching her wagon to some sad no hoper, she is a very bright, hugely successful, internationally well regarded lawyer and was before they met. Why would she risk her hard earned professional reputation by pretending to be something she isn’t?

MsTamborineMan · 29/08/2025 19:37

I've always seen the rumour GC is gay but he's dated a lot of women in his time, would all those women be prepared to be a beard? It's also a bit unecessary. He was also 50 odd when he got married, again a bit unecessary to go through a whole marriage at 50, to cover up being gay when the rumour had already been around for many years.

Both are very attractive successful people. Lots of money so very little day to day drudgery. Why would they not be in a real relationship? Its not like it's hard to be attracted to either of them

An older relative moved to California in early 80s and worked in construction and met George Clooney. He was by all accounts very much into women and a good lad.

The only plus I can see is the immense wealth..

Perhaps the chap ate a dodgy prawn.
Young man + hospital doesn’t add up to ‘“debauched shenanigans in famous villa; news at six”

Perhaps but that certainly wasn't the story doing the rounds.

CareerChange24 · 29/08/2025 19:39

This thread is funny. My cousin’s best friend’s step-sister said it’s true. Most women don’t know what their own husbands are upto, never mind Amal’s

Blondiney · 29/08/2025 19:16

Didn't the rumours start because of all the young, handsome men he used to entertain at his Lake Como villa? One ended up in hospital or something.

I think you're referring to his security team, one of whom had an encounter with a sliding van door that put him in hospital. I am struggling with the high school level of baseless gossip in this thread

I understand. I really do.

Seemingly he’s not just two timing me with Amal there’s some other bird called @80smonster also in the picture!

I don't think George is gay. Though my gaydar is rubbish.

He was a notorious womaniser wasn't he, before meeting Amal? Didn't he date that British model who was a judge on a modelling show? I forget her name.

Amal was the full package, intelligent, good looking and highly respected in her field and didn't need George. She could have probably married an uber rich tech magnate or someone high profile from a political family. But I could see how he wooed and won her over.

He was punching above his weight and knew it. Didn't he sue newspapers who ran a negative story about his intentions towards her? He was smitten!

When I think of Hollywood wives Amal is easily the most authentic and intelligent. Still working as a high profile lawyer despite the pull of luxurious ease, and occasionally writing open letters to the UK government about certain issues

They're a true compliment of each other.

Lisa Snowdon?

Same thing as what happened to Rupert Everett, then.

I’d have thought it was his part as the Prince Regent in The Madness of King George, a rôle he was wildly wrong for, not least because his fat suit didn’t also fatten his face, so he looked downright weird.
Wasn’t there a dire Madonna movie too (excuse the tautology)?

I see no sign of him going into politics.?

Loubylie · 29/08/2025 19:41

I heard Clooney on Desert Island Discs and decided he was gay. I would put money on it. Never met him though, so what do I know?

theDudesmummy · 29/08/2025 19:41

@YanTanTetheraPetheraBumfitt read the thread

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

We live close to Sonning. I've never seen them, but a friend encountered them out walking by the Thames one Boxing Day. Arm in arm.

Isn’t it time everyone piled onto the Princess of Wales about her fondness for button on her clothes? (That was the other ongoing big thing when the Clooneys married in Venice, I recall 🤣😂)

Absentmindedsmile · 29/08/2025 19:44

Pretty sure they’re both same sex attracted., that’s often alleged anyway. But she’s a Muslim and he’s a Hollywood actor.
Some one was writing about Italian stallion visitors to the villa. It’s probably got amazing decor inside.
Children from surrogate.

what do we know.

You're "pretty sure" they're same sex attracted? How do you know?
How do you know the children were born via surrogacy?
