George Clooney gushed over his wife Amal during an appearance on Lorraine on Tuesday.
The Hollywood actor, 62, who celebrated his ninth wedding anniversary with Amal, 45, in September, described her as ‘a force of nature’ and ‘so homely’.
During a chat with George, Lorraine asked the star if he had attended The Fashion Awards by Pandora, where his wife was recently pictured.
George cheekily replied: ‘Do I look like I was at a fashion award?’
He added: ‘If I’m in a picture with my wife, they do cut me out. No, I wasn’t there, I sadly missed the fashion awards, which really cuts me there [points to his heart].’
Lorraine then asked George if he had got used to being the elbow in the frame when he is pictured with Amal.
He replied: ‘They always say, “George was nice enough to hold the umbrella for his gorgeous wife”. She is a force of nature and so homely, but we do what we can, we survive.’
It comes after George told ET on the red carpet at the premiere of his new film The Boys in the Boat, that he accepts his wife often steals the limelight whenever they’re at an event together.
‘My entire career has been reduced to a plus-one now,’ she teased.
‘I did one of those Women in Film things a couple years ago, and I had to introduce myself as ‘Amal Clooney’s husband’ because, honestly, I was dead otherwise.’
The actor – who has six-year-old twins Alexander and Ella with Amal – added of her stunning red carpet looks: ‘She cleans up. I’m always embarrassed because I’m wearing something that I’ve worn, like, 1,000 times.’
Clooney was a perpetual bachelor for years before he settled down with Amal Alamuddin, who met through a mutual friend in April 2013.
They tied the knot in September 2014, and the happy couple welcomed their twins in June 2017.
Clooney opened up about how having his kids changed the way he looks at the world now during a 2020 interview.
‘In marriage, and now with the kids, you give away the selfishness of only looking out for yourself,’ Clooney said.
‘It’s a wonderful thing. Amal and I talk about it every day. We feel so lucky,’ he added.
