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.
Excellent. See you later scumbag.
Decoded
Clooneys uprooted their family from Los Angeles to escape TDS.
He’s been working at this for years, because if he had something called a Talent Visa, he could obtain French citizenship after four years, IIRC, and after coughing up a wad of money.
His career is in the crapper in the US, maybe he thinks he can entertain Europe’s wokerati.
But he hasn’t renounced his American citizenship, has he.
Gutless wonder.
He’s staying out of the U.S. I wonder why?
I saw a video recently of Clooney getting out of a SUV in NYC to go into a theater where he was in a show. A female fan tried to shake his hand which he declined. He did NOT look good. He looked really old and skinny. My first thought was he appears to be sick. Like he might have AIDS. This is just MY observation. Maybe he was always a skinny little guy. He was smaller than the woman asking for his autograph.
I also do not blame him for not shaking hands with a stranger. It is the cold and flu season. I know several people including my son that were sick over Christmas with Flu A. IF Clooney gets sick they show will go on, but the people that paid hundreds of dollars for tickets might be disappointed.
The Italian government must not have been willing to give them a "naturalization decree".
The French have no extradition with the US. Remember Roman Polaski?
