George and Amal Clooney were recently awarded French citizenship along with their kids. The naturalizations of the actor and his family were reportedly announced last weekend in the Journal Officiel. And it seems that the couple’s action is now inspiring many A-listers to make a similar move due to privacy concerns and worries about their children’s upbringing.
Amal and George Clooney’s new move is inspiring other stars, claims source
George and Amal Clooney were granted French citizenship along with their twins, Ella and Alexander, last weekend. According to CBS News, the French government stated that the family received citizenship because “they contribute, through their distinguished actions, to France’s international influence and cultural outreach.”
And it seems their move has also attracted many Hollywood stars to follow suit. A longtime friend told Rob Shutter that “this is personal,” as the family “talk nonstop about safety, sanity, and protecting kids.”
The insider further revealed that the Clooneys host dinners for others at their estate in the South of France, where they often discuss the benefits of obtaining their new citizenship.
“The message is always the same,” a source says, since there are “No paparazzi. No school-gate ambushes. No fear. They sell it as peace of mind.”
While the human rights lawyer “Amal frames it as a quality-of-life issue. She talks about dignity, privacy laws, and how children deserve anonymity. People listen.”
Among the several A-list couples with children, the names of Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt are frequently mentioned. Revealing about it, a source said that “Brad has talked about Europe forever.” “The Clooneys didn’t introduce the idea — they normalized it.”
The move to France has impressed others mainly due to its strict privacy laws, particularly those protecting minors. “There’s a real recalibration happening,” an industry insider explained. “When someone as established as the Clooneys steps away, it gives everyone else permission to imagine a different life.”
