George Clooney, who is soon set to appear in Noah Baumbach’s Jay Kelly, recently opened up about his carpool duties for his twin daughters in an interview. The veteran actor spoke about his family life and responsibilities while discussing his film. Even the biggest stars, it seems, are not exempt from carpool duties when it comes to their children.
George Clooney accepts he has become a carpool dad for his twin children
George Clooney and his wife, Amal Clooney, a human rights lawyer, married in 2014 and had twins, Ella and Alexander. The veteran actor has kept his children largely away from the spotlight, but he has often talked about them publicly.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight at the NYFF premiere of Jay Kelly, the actor discussed his family. During the conversation, he was asked if he is a carpool dad. Clooney responded positively, saying, “I am. I drive a van.” He added, “The other day I had six kids singing all the songs from Hamilton in the back. And by the way it’s a little off-putting when you hear them singing some of the lyrics — for eight-year-olds.”
He also commented on how becoming a father changed his approach to work. The O Brother, Where Art Thou star elaborated, “I work less, but that’s okay, you know,…I’m really enjoying my life. I’m enjoying spending time [with my family], I enjoy driving the kids to school and all that stuff, it’s fun.”
This is not the first time Clooney has spoken about his family life and how much he enjoys it. Back in 2024, he told GQ on a similar subject, “I’m going to give myself time with my kids. I really enjoy driving them to school, and my wife and I are having a really wonderful time. So I don’t want to lose all of that.” This was during the promotion of his movie Wolfs, which also starred Brad Pitt.
Jay Kelly will arrive in limited theatres on November 14, 2025, and will get a Netflix release on December 5, 2025.
