George and Amal Clooney have been forced to evacuate their home in south-eastern France as a wildfire burned nearby, his agent confirmed to Associated Press on Thursday.
The Clooneys bought their hilltop estate, Domaine du Canadel, in Brignoles in the Var in 2021 and it has since become their primary residence. Last December, the French government awarded the whole family – including the couple’s nine-year-old twins – French citizenship.
In a letter to Didier Bremond, the mayor of Brignoles, the actor wrote that while “at this point we have no idea whether our beautiful home makes it through this terrible moment and as we evacuate Brignoles”, he wanted to “emphasise two things”.
“First we hope you and the people of our city are safe and second that Amal and I are determined to ensure that, whatever happens to our village, we remain fully part of this community and [will] contribute to its rebuilding. We love Brignoles and the friends we have there.”
The fire near Brignoles broke out on Wednesday afternoon and burned some 130 hectares (321 acres), local officials said. Some 600 residents were evacuated and four firefighters injured.
Speaking to Esquire magazine earlier in the year about his rationale for relocating from the US, Clooney said neither he nor his wife, a highly respected human rights lawyer, did not want their children either observed by paparazzi or being raised with an urban myopia.
“A good portion of my life growing up was on a farm, and as a kid I hated the whole idea of it,” he said. “But now, for them, it’s like – they’re not on their iPads, you know? They have dinner with grownups and have to take their dishes in. They have a much better life.”

‘We do not know whether our beautiful home will survive’”
We don’t care.
The Perfect Storm.

U gotta admit
That was my first suspicion... 🕵️🕵️♀️🕵️♂️

George says: You all stay and handle this, while we run away.
George and Amal are reaping the rewards of their French citizenship.
He's down to his last three quarter billion so needs all the help he can get.
Hypocrite who's raked that much in while producing or starring in as many pro-communist endeavors as possible. Like DeNiro, I admire most of his work but would leave a room he entered to avoid possible contact.
George Clooney is oblivious, because he does nothing that places him in any direct contact with these invaders. Out of sight, out of mind form of ignorance. Thus, he believes narratives that he hears from the press who are bought & paid for, to support the central authority of the globalist ruling class, who pay their salaries that suport them, in order to ensure their support in return. These global are what I call the evil rich.
They do little if any good. Instead they use their wealth to sowe evil in order to obtain more wealth & power. Because chaos cretes the opportunities for that form of wealth & power generation.
Fauci is the perfect poster child for that, only he is not as adept at it as the really big evil players in that thealm. But he is just as evil, without question.
In hindsight those two roman candles aka cypress trees leaning directly up against clowny’s crib may have been a bad idea.
Those cypress have been there a long time.
George and Anal, I don't care about your problem! My Mother in law has cancer...Do you care about my Mother in Law...?
“Those cypress have been there a long time”
Of course they have, just not a great idea to have them literally leaning up against the house.
We still do here...No tablets or phone at the table... Talking...
