Hollywood elitist and longtime Democrat activist George Clooney has officially joined the growing list of wealthy, left-wing celebrities who preach “American values” while quietly distancing themselves from the United States.
Clooney, along with his wife, Amal Alamuddin Clooney, and their two children, has reportedly obtained French citizenship through a naturalization decree.
The couple’s 8-year-old twins, Ella and Alexander, were included in the process.
According to Fox News, the Clooneys uprooted their family from Los Angeles to escape what Clooney described as the “culture of Hollywood,” the very system that made him rich, famous, and politically influential.
George Clooney told Esquire in October that after the birth of his twins, he made the deliberate decision to move his family out of Hollywood.
The longtime Democrat donor explained that they now live on a farm far from Los Angeles, distancing themselves from a culture he believed would have denied his children a “fair shake” at life.
“You know, we live on a farm in France. A good portion of my life growing up was on a farm, and as a kid I hated the whole idea of it. But now, for them, it’s like—they’re not on their iPads, you know? They have dinner with grown-ups and have to take their dishes in. They have a much better life.”
Clooney went on to explain that he feared raising his children in Los Angeles.
“I was worried about raising our kids in L. A., in the culture of Hollywood. I felt like they were never going to get a fair shake at life. France—they kind of don’t give a shit about fame. I don’t want them to be walking around worried about paparazzi. I don’t want them being compared to somebody else’s famous kids.”
George and Amal Clooney purchased Domaine du Canadel, an 18th-century wine estate and farm in Brignoles, Provence, in August 2021.
By late 2024 and early 2025, the French estate became the family’s primary residence as they sought to raise their twins away from “Hollywood’s paparazzi culture.”
On December 27, 2025, a naturalization decree was published in France’s Journal officiel, officially granting George, Amal, and their twins French citizenship.
Clooney played a central role in the coordinated media and donor pressure campaign to force Joe Biden out of the 2024 race.
Following Biden’s disastrous June debate performance, Clooney kicked off the calls to put old Joe out to pasture with a column for the New York Times demanding that he step aside.
He wrote for The Times, “We are not going to win in November with this president.”
He continued, “This isn’t only my opinion; this is the opinion of every senator and Congress member and governor who I’ve spoken with in private.”
After Clooney’s column, the chorus calling for Biden to step aside became more vocal.
But, after Kamala Harris’s embarrassing loss to President Donald Trump, he has faced backlash from liberals for his key role in the ouster, and he isn’t happy with Barack.

Hooray!
Don’t come back! Ever!
I would have thought the family was moving to Italy, since both kids are fluent in Italian. Oh, well. Bye!
Good riddance! Turn in your US citizenship!
More winning!
More good news!
GOOD!
No more voting by him and his kin either.
Let’s guess. He’s not giving up his US Citizenship.
Hop along you Frog....
Now pay for Mr. Z’s grift in Ukraine.
Better yet, grab a rifle and head to the Front.
Delighted to see that vermin move to France.
When the Mooselimbs find out that he’s a degenerate homosexual, they will take care of him nicely. All in good time.
Yes! I needed some good news today... Thank you.
Unless he sells all his real estate in the United States, it doesn’t mean much.
Until then it’s a PR move by Clooney, to give him “street cred” with the lefties that weren’t keen on him helping sink Biden.
Trump needs to annul his US citizenship, and if he tries to meddle in US elections again, he will need to register as a foreign agent.
What did the French do to deserve this?
Maybe he’ll get fed up with the gilets jaunes and farmers spraying manure on government buildings.
Not a complete departure unless they give up their US citizenship. It would give them a tax break if they did too.
Bon voyage!
Well how about that? A ‘’late’’ Christmas present and a great start to the new year.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Ha...good luck wid dat
He is going to need an army of gardeners,,cooks,,nurses,,gatekeepers to maintain his French estate,,
Hope he has a flak jacket and a neck brace
Those allah snack bar guys are handy with a knife,
Let him take a shopping trip to downtown Paris.
