Clooney skips event for imminent delivery
GEORGE Clooney skipped a humanitarian event at the weekend because his pregnant wife is due to give birth imminently.
The 56-year-old actor joked that if his wife had their twins while he attended the Aurora Prize for Awakening Humanity ceremony in Yerevan, Armenia, on Sunday, he would not have been able to show his face at home.
Explaining his absence in a video message, George quipped: “I really would have been (in Yerevan) but if I came there and my wife had twins while I was there, I could never come home.”
Last year, George acted as co-chair of the award’s prize-selection committee and attended the ceremony.
The couple are currently residing in their home in Berkshire, England, as they wait for the impending arrival of their twins and George is reportedly “anxious” but “excited” about becoming a father.
An insider previously said: “(George) is getting a little anxious about the babies’ arrival. But he’s nervous in an excited, good way!
“George is staying put in London until Amal gives birth. They’ll figure out their schedules after that. For now, they’re just hunkering down!”
The Ocean’s Eleven star recently revealed he and Amal are still stuck on possible names for their children.
He said: “No we haven’t picked out any names because… I’ve had friends pick out names around their parents and then it becomes… whatever name you pick they’re like, ‘Oh, I don’t like that’.”
With the babies on the way, they had “decided to be much more responsible”.
“I will not go to South Sudan and Amal will avoid places she knows she is not welcome. Before, I would even say there was a pretty exciting side to going where no reporter had been.” – Bang Showbiz
