George Clooney stopped by 'The Graham Norton Show' to gush about his 'brilliant kids,' revealing the 'horrible things' he's trying to teach them after they learned Italian from their mother, Amal!
George Clooney‘s parenting techniques on his twins might be a bit different than his accomplished 42-year-old wife, Amal‘s, but they are no less fun! The Midnight Sky actor, 59, stopped by The Graham Norton Show for the December 18 episode to dish on his new project and his twins, Alexander and Ella, 3. “They are clearly my wife’s children,” George confessed to host Graham Norton. “They’re three and speak fluent Italian and they are way ahead.”
But that hasn’t stopped the Ocean’s Eleven star from taking his own approach to parenting. “My wife is a genius and they are brilliant kids, and it is my job to dumb them down and put a bit of actor into them, so I teach them horrible things,” he confessed. The Oscar winner also went into detail on what “horrible” lessons he has been imparting to his youngsters.

There is something very special about that.”
