George Clooney insists he lives 'normal' life despite $500M net worth
Share this @internewscast.com

There’s no doubt George Clooney and his wife Amal Clooney live a very luxe life with an estimated net worth of $550 million combined.

Despite owning several worldwide properties, including a $14.7 million condo in New York City, an 18th-century villa on Lake Como, a 17th-century mansion on the English island of Sonning Eye, and an $8.3 million wine estate in Provence, France, the superstar claims to lead a ‘normal’ life.

After the success of his Broadway play, Good Night, and Good Luck, the 64-year-old’s following project is a film named Jay Kelly, where he ironically plays a ‘famous movie actor.’

At the New York Film Festival premiere, when DailyMail.com asked if he seeks ordinary life experiences like his character, he confirmed he does experience a level of ‘normalcy.’

‘I have normalcy. You know, I drive my kids to school every morning,’ he insisted. ‘I have normalcy – except for this!’

Accompanied by his publicist and entourage, George, who donned a stylish blue suit, stepped onto the red carpet. He acknowledged leading a somewhat ‘pampered’ life, though he tries to shield this from his eight-year-old twins, Ella and Alexander, whom he shares with Amal.

He explained: ‘They didn’t come to the set much. They came a couple of times. I try to keep the kids away from that experience right now. 

‘I’m not quite sure what they would think about it. I don’t want them to think we’re too pampered.’

The A-list couple has knowingly kept their kids out of the spotlight ever since they were born in June 2017.

In Jay Kelly, the forthcoming Netflix movie, the character embarks on self-exploration, facing his past and present, positioned at the crossroads of triumphs and regrets.

The Oscar-winning actor related his own Hollywood experience to his character.

‘I also felt like how lucky I was that I didn’t live with the kinds of regret that this character does,’ George said during Monday’s premiere.

‘I attribute it to getting famous later in life, allowing me to be more grounded and aware of how little success is actually about you.’

‘Because you know, when you’re young and you get success, you just think you’re a genius; you get older, you think, well, luck played a big part in it.’

He continued, ‘So all these regrets that this character lived with, I got to look at it as a character, not me, which is a lot healthier.’

Meanwhile, his wife Amal, who attended the premiere at Alice Tully Hall in a stunning Oscar de la Renta red floral mini dress, previously talked about how important it is for them to have a balance in their lives.

The human rights lawyer, 47, told Glamour in July, ‘It’s important to get that balance where you have time alone with your family and with your friends where people feel like you can have a safe and frank exchange. 

‘And I would say becoming a parent means you’re more troubled by some of the intrusions. So we do the best we can to minimize any impact on our children. 

‘We don’t put our children out there, we’ve never put their photo out there or anything like that.’

Amal and George recently celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary on September 27. Since then, the pair have made a point to support each other at events and premieres.

‘I have a partner in life who is so supportive of what I do. So I don’t feel like I have to apologize for it or rein it in,’ she told Glamour. 

‘And I remember when I became a mom, which was obviously a new frontier, he was the first one to say, “I know you’ve got this speech at the Security Council. You have to go, I’ve got the kids, don’t worry about it.”

George told the Daily Mail about working with Adam Sandler: 'It's just fun to work with a guy who's, you know, he's a beautiful actor, he's a wonderful comedian and he's just a great soul'

‘I feel so incredibly lucky to share every day with him. And now we’re four. And I don’t take any of it for granted. I treasure the laughter and the joy that I get from just being with them.’

Unlike George and Amal, who attended the event without their kids, it was a family affair for his co-star Adam Sandler, 59.

The Happy Gilmore 2 star arrived at the New York Film Festival premiere of Jay Kelly with his entire family, including wife Jackie and daughters Sadie, 19, and Sunny, 16.

In the movie, Adam plays Jay Kelly’s manager, Ron, while Laura Dern plays his publicist, Liz.

Joking about his on-screen chemistry with the funnyman, George said, ‘Well, it was a love scene they cut out that really helped make the chemistry.’

He continued, ‘Listen, I’ve known Adam a long time and he’s a dear friend, and the minute we knew we were going to get a chance to work together, we were thrilled.   

‘It’s just fun to work with a guy who’s, you know, he’s a beautiful actor, he’s a wonderful comedian and he’s just a great soul. And I make him dress up.’

George pointed out that his pal wasn’t in ‘those dumb shorts,’ thanks to him.

Meanwhile, Adam praised working with the A-lister to a group of reporters on the red carpet, ‘George Clooney was extremely kind to me, always very encouraging.

‘Every day we would do scenes and he’d have ideas and thoughts about everything and it was a great environment.’

Jay Kelly hits select theaters nationwide on November 14, followed by its release on Netflix on December 5.
