[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The elephant in the room about this couple is despite the rhapsodizing about how awesome they are and how accomplished he is and how it is an example of how men preferred smart women- she is a good two decades younger than he is. A classic case of a man going for a much younger woman. In this case she basically is a grand dad loved. And they both are so self important. [/quote]

I thought it was hilarious when people were falling over themselves to say how "age appropriate" she was too. Like maybe in Hollywood 17 years is nothing, but that's a lot![/quote]

Keanu and his gf are age appropriate. George Clooney is a cradle snatcher and [b]Amal a granddad lover[/b]. I remember the impassioned discussion about how she was proof men like smarts and I was thinking hello.. [b]she is a baby compared to him[/b].

George Clooney wants to fancy himself a power broker but the buck ends politically here. They used him to bring down Biden and don’t be surprised if suddenly they find themselves out of the spotlight. [/quote]
Granddad is a bit far fetch. It is too much of an aged difference for me, but 17 years makes GC a teenage father to Amal, not granddad. [/quote]

+1, the age difference is mildly offensive but doesn't strike me as gross. Especially on her end. George is not just some regular gross old rich guy-- he's a bona fide movie star who is chasing and truly handsome. Most men don't look as attractive as George Clooney at 60 when they are 25. It's not like Amal has to hold her nose to marry him-- I believe she was genuinely attracted to him. He was also only 53 (to her 36) when they got married. So not some old fogey but a dashing middle aged movie star.

As for him-- yes he did the old rich guy thing and married a much younger woman. But at least she wasn't some naive ingenue. She was a well-- respected professional at the height of her career. I think it's hard for a movie star of George's level to marry an "equal" no matter what but I think he came close with Amal. She's incredibly smart and did not need his money or fame (though no doubt they are nice to have).

I'm not idolizing them (they are probably both annoying entities rich people IRL) but their relationship does not give me the ick the way a lot of older men-younger women do.[/quote]
