France &#8211; they kind of don\u2019t give a s*** about fame.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI don\u2019t want them to be walking around worried about paparazzi. I don\u2019t want them being compared to somebody else\u2019s famous kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nAlong with their French properties, the Clooneys also own an estate in Italy\u2019s Lake Como, a manor house in England, a New York apartment and a property in Kentucky.<\/p>\n<p>\nDespite his citizenship, George has admitted his French language skills are not good.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe previously told France\u2019s RTL radio: \u201cI love the French culture, your language, even if I\u2019m still bad at it after 400 days of courses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/george-clooney-granted-french-citizenship-1435241.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>30 December 2025 George Clooney has become a French citizen.
