Is he acting? Producing? I hear and see nothing about him.

He does a ton of producing (according to imdb he is executive producing three projects at the moment -- two in production and one in post -- and also acting as producer on three other projects in production or development). He's done some smaller acting projects in the last few years including an upcoming Noah Baumbach film and that schlocky romcom withe Julia Roberts from a couple years ago. He directed the Tender Bar (2021) and The Boys in the Boat (2023) and has a TV projects he's attached to as director that is in development.

So actually sounds like he's pretty busy in terms of his day job as actor-director-producer. Some of these projects are smaller and have shorter or less involved time commitments but he's very wealthy and in his 60s -- a lot of people would simply be retired or in some kind of figurehead role with no responsibilities while they mostly play golf and travel at this point. He's working quite a bit even if largely behind the camera. He has tilted his work much more toward directing and producing ever since he played Batman -- his paycheck on that job was big enough that it allowed him to not really need to act for a living and only do projects as he wants to. It's interesting to me that while he tends to choose more intellectual and darker projects for directing and producing he seems to base his acting projects almost entirely on just getting to work with his friends in fun locations -- the Oceans films and that Roberts romcom are not great movies but they were probably pretty fun to make and shot on location in vacation destinations.

Doing Nespresso commercials for cash, vomiting op-eds about Biden.

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!

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

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.

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.

Uhm no. People are whigged out about ten years. 17 years is a huge age difference. She is in her forties and he is in his sixties. Just because she is a lawyer doesn’t negate that.
Good luck playing nursemaid.
He may have been the most handsome man in his prime but age stops for no one. Welcome to the viagra over there.

+1 she has continued to work in the sphere since marrying George and having kids. At this point it's more about using her name and connections to bring attention (and money and legal support) to cases and causes she cares about but that has real value. She didn't move to LA and just quit and sponge off him-- she uses his name and connections to advance her causes but she's still actively involved.

+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.

She actually is handling a number of human rights cases still; not doing the underlying representation work herself for the most part now, but at least coordinating and getting pro bono representation from big law firms and then some amount of high level strategy work.

You mean he is aging without a facelift, fillers and botox. The man is 63. What do you think you will look like at 63 and no botox and facelift.

The photos earlier in this thread where she is all glam and westernized are heavily filtered.

He's another one without filters:

The above August 2024 pictures are photoshopped and filtered. That's not how either her or GC look.
The bellow pic was not altered. It's from today (Venice).

Good points, PP

They look fine. I doubt she is actually doing much actual real-world work lawyering, as being a lawyer sucks. You wouldn’t do it if you didn’t need to.

He is a lightweight coasting on his looks who wants to be a political heavyweight. She did some good humanitarian work in her youth and is now a sell out coasting on her husbands fame. They use each other and are cringe worthy.

“She did some good humanitarian work in her youth.” Is like saying JLo has been in love a few times.

Is it?
People love to parrot that Amal is a "human rights lawyer" because they read that once, but does anyone actually know what she does?

I’ve actually worked with her and others from Doughty Street (Caoilfhionn Gallagher, specifically) on one issue and yes, definitely seemed like an actual barrister. Legal strategy and advocacy.

And my friend isn’t in jail and her publication is still publishing, so there is that.

Her job is to look Glam to influence her malleable inner circle of power brokers. Amal possibly couped the sitting president and called the shots.

Even Kim K took an interest in law after Amal. Amal’s doing just fine. She sends her love.

What does Kim K have to do with this?
You think she decided to try to become a lawyer because of...Amal Clooney? lol

Her obvious plan is to get George to run for president. The Dem party will be so destroyed it will need a shot in the arm and a white male pop culture icon
