Nine-year-old George Clooney would have preferred to stay home on Christmas mornings and open presents. But, at his father's direction, his family first delivered gifts to families who had greater needs.
"On Christmas morning, when we woke up, before we could open any presents we would drive an hour and a half to some stranger's home and spend the morning having Christmas with these people, bringing presents," Clooney said, speaking at Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center Tuesday at a Workhuman convention focused on workplace culture. "The understanding was that we are all in this together. It taught me so much. I hated it, by the way, at the time."
But for Clooney, those Christmas mornings were among the many experiences he had growing up in a small town in Kentucky that would influence his ongoing focus on humanitarian issues, he said. Coming of age during the Civil Rights movement and the Vietnam War would inspire his own activism, from protesting South Africa's Apartheid, to raising awareness about genocide in Darfur, to most recently developing the Clooney Foundation for Justice, an organization focused on reducing oppression in court systems around the world.

"My father's argument was, always challenge power and protect the powerless. Period. Always. No matter whether you feel powerful or not. That is your job," he said. "That carried with me."
While the Clooney family was not wealthy, Clooney said his father emphasized their great fortune to be born where they were born and thought their luck should be shared.
"Luck needs to be shared," Clooney said. "We are a community. If we are only worried about our own doorstep, we are not going to succeed as a people and certainly not as a country."
Clooney also emphasized that much of the humanitarian work he has done has been riddled with failures. He described building a well in Sudan only to have it cause serious disputes with a neighboring community, also in need of a well. In Darfur, especially, Clooney said he failed often and it's hard to see clear impact.
But Clooney offered optimism about the capacity to improve some of the atrocities he has seen overseas and to address the challenges in the U.S.
"It’s a frustrating time. We see a lot of autocrats and some pretty difficult things when you look around the world," he said. "Just as quickly as things go wrong is how quickly things can go well. We as a collective can be part of that. As individuals, it's really hard to do, but as a collective we can be part of fixing things."

Clooney described his childhood in Kentucky, in a town of 1,100 people, where he mowed lawns, wore clothes his mother made him and played on a basketball team often booked for homecoming games to ensure another team's victory.
"We lost 26 of 27 games my senior year," he said. "It was as humiliating a time as you could ever imagine, but man was it fun. It was a great way to grow up."
Clooney also described the close-knit community that often develops in a small town.
"All the things we see on cable news of people being unkind to one another doesn’t exist. They have to get along," he said. "I was really lucky to be raised in a small town like that."
As he got older, Clooney cut tobacco for $3.32 an hour, sold insurance door-to-door and worked at a liquor store at night. He described his father sitting with him at a liquor store after his own shift as TV anchor, worried about his son's safety. At a cousin's recommendation, he left for California to pursue acting.

Clooney, a father of twins under age two, said he had underestimated the amount of excrement fatherhood would yield, but that he is struck by the magnitude of being a parent.

"They are literally this tall and they make me feel tiny," he said. "I feel like there is something grander out there."
He often mocked his age, 57, predicting he will be shrinking as his children grow bigger. "Maybe we'll meet at like 13," he said. When considering his children's requests for check books and car keys in the years ahead, Clooney quipped, "Hopefully I'll be dead. I started late."
Clooney praised his wife Amal's "extraordinary" legal work but also her fortitude in breastfeeding twins. He said he would repeat "Mama" over and over again to his children to ensure they would reward her by saying her name before "Papa."
"I would sit over the bassinet and go, 'Mama, mama, mama, mama," he said. "If either one of those little s**** said 'Papa' first, I'm dead."
Clooney said his children are learning to count and say their ABCs in English and Italian. "I'm from Kentucky, you know," he said to laughter, adding. "English was the foreign language."
When a doctor informed him and Amal that they were expecting twins, Clooney said he fell silent.
"It didn't really occur to me that was ever even a possibility," he said. "Amal said she's never seen me not talk for that long. ... Now we have got these two knuckleheads that just make us all laugh and bring so much joy into the house."

Re: George clooney opens up on Kentucky Roots and dirty diapers
Last week, I was invited to my cousin's birthday party. Her mother and my mom both talked about the day she had been born: lots of snow, her father was working, my mom took her mother to the hospital, how they tried to inform her father after they had received a phone call from the hospital, the spomtaneous party that started, how my mom tried to sober him up to take him to hospital etc...annemarie wrote:The kids are going to be so sick of that joke when they are older.

We hear this story every year. It was my cousin's 54th birthday. So of course we were all , but on the other hand it's nice to hear this about your very first day, from people who at a certain point will all be gone, so there's nobody left to tell you about it..
There are, of course, similar stories about ll of us being born.

Re: George clooney opens up on Kentucky Roots and dirty diapers
Between the mama, mama, mama story and the stories he has told about the amount of poop these two ‘knuckleheads’ have produced Ella and Alexander are going to be rolling their eyes and doing one of these ... at Dad for years to come!
His comments at Workhuman just reinforce my opinion of George’s values. His head is screwed on right and he knows his priorities and what’s important to a meaningful life.

It comes out that way, when it's rooted to the core of your who you are.
It's one of the reasons I love him without measure.
It a shame when others try to take advantage of people who extend a kind heart.

Re: George clooney opens up on Kentucky Roots and dirty diapers
I want share something that absolutely amazed me.
First I rarely read through article like this one. From my core I was guided me to read this article.
12 years ago I began my journey with George Clooney. I was guided to learn of George Clooney introspectively. I've learned a lot about him, however I wondered why my connection with him was unmovable.
When I read through the article, I learned how deeply rooted my connection is to him. Around the time Bush ran, I did tons of writing and challenged a lot people in powerful position. Those writings were distributed and many including George Clooney were privy to them. After reading this article it was the first I understood how deeply rooted my connection is and why the 12 year connection has endured with George Clooney.
I have no connection to Amal, however as I've stated on many occasions I don't believe a word that comes out of her mouth.
I know people will challenge my thoughts on Amal, in advance I extend my hand to agree to disagree.

Re: George clooney opens up on Kentucky Roots and dirty diapers
Mmm. Puzzled.
How can anybody not 'believe a word that comes out of' somebody's mouth when those words are factual? When the person's background qualifications are both
true, and universally acknowledged, and when a lot of what that person says happens to be also the same knowledge, and beliefs as one George Clooney.
I do hope you got a reply from George. I wonder how it works these days when he lives in so many places. I guess a lot is filtered through Stan

Yes Pan George and Amal are so alike they want to help others . That is why George has said they are a good team and have been since the day they met.

“Challenge power while protecting the powerless”. A case in point. My first thought is Trump’s despicable policy on immigration and how the rule of law administered through judges and the courts must protect these migrants while challenging Trump’s abuse of that law.

Agree annemarie. The romantic side of me says possibly it was fate that George met and fell in love with a woman whose name means hope. He has always called himself an optimist.

Donnamarie,I believe it was fate they were meant to be . Things happen when they are supposed to and can't be rushed.
That's why now even George knows saying he would never marry and have kids was silly.

Why do you do this? Seriously. Is it a misguided attempt to extend the conversation, or deliberately adversarial? Either way, it's irritating. There is no freaking way you don't know who this conversation is about. And the "Amal Clooney and her husband George Clooney" thing is tiresome as well.
Please, I beg of you, stop wasting posts on this type of inane question and commentary. Maybe the habit goes over well in your circle of non-internet associates, but here it's an aggravation. Playing well with others requires a certain amount of self-awareness and appropriate restraint. I don't think I'm the only one here who wishes you would exercise some.

I try always to line my thoughts up with what I know to be truth and what I understand to be truth.
I think you and I have a totally different understanding of Amal Clooney and her husband Actor George Clooney's marriage relationship.
I will not be offended if you don't answer my questions.

Re: George clooney opens up on Kentucky Roots and dirty diapers
Oh dear, Ladybug.
You may not care for it, but George is married to Amal and you will read all about lots of aspects of their lives on here. When he speaks about her and she him we will likely write about it on here.
You may not like it when they're both doing wonderful things to help make this a better world, or have a joint interview or support each other on a new initiative, and we write about it on here, but that's how it is.

I have absolutely no problem with "George" and "Amal's" marriage. And I admire you want to share their relationship here.
I'm sure "George" and "Amal" are doing wonderful things and I'm sure they work together and support each other.

Enough, ladybug. We all know you like to pretend that the George Clooney you believe you have a connection with isn't married to Amal, but that's your fantasy. Keep it in your head where it belongs, not on this site.
We're all talking about George Clooney and his wife Amal in this and other threads. If you're unable to understand simple English, I suggest you spend less time on this site and more in remedial English classes.

Admin, the connection I have with George Clooney is what I understand to be truth. I do believe Amal Clooney and her husband Actor George Clooney are in a marriage relationship. I state that over and over here, as you see I made an entire thread about the two of them.Admin wrote:Enough, ladybug.

However, you are very right, often times I believe post made here are NOT referring to Amal Clooney and her husband Actor George Clooney and that is why I ask.
Thank you for clearing up every "Amal" reference is referring to Amal Clooney and every "George" reference made on Clooney's Open House is referring to the George Clooney I believe I'm connected to.
Unfortunately Admin, we live in a world that operates with the understanding deception is a tool used with the best "intentions" as an effort to bring about good. This twisted mindset is intertwined as a World View. I believe that to be the case with Amal Clooney and her husband Actor George Clooney. It is my understanding their marriage relationship was made with the intent to highlight human rights causes on a greater scale. I could be wrong, however this is what I understand to be TRUTH. While on paper that may seem to be great, ultimately DECEPTION can lead to a mis-guided world view, hurt feelings, and an awkward transition to reveal the truth.
To be fair, to believe I live in an intangible Biblical/Spiritual experience with George Clooney and that understanding NOT be true could be unhealthy. In my case I've grown in love to love George Clooney without measure. What George Clooney choose to do with his life is his own business, his marriage relationship to Amal Clooney has absolutely no impact on the relationship I believe I share with him or my tangible life.
If you prefer I not post on Clooney's Open House, let me know and I will stop.

Re: George clooney opens up on Kentucky Roots and dirty diapers
I don't believe that anyone is trying to drive you away (understanding that I only speak for myself). It's the repeated and totally unnecessary questioning of "who" we're talking about that we want to end.
So let's just stipulate that references here on COH to "Amal," "George," and/or "George and Amal" and "Amal and George" are regarding George Clooney the actor/director/producer/humanitarian/philanthropist/activist/tequila magnate and all-around good guy, to whom this site is dedicated, and his wife Amal.

Re: George clooney opens up on Kentucky Roots and dirty diapers
I don't believe they got married just to highlight human rights causes on a greater scale.
Ladybug, George and Amal fell in love the same as everyone else does.
They both care about human rights and people being treated fairly. It make sense that in their position they
would find a way together to bring about change.

In Truth: every "Amal" reference is referring to Amal Clooney, the mother of George Clooney's biological children and every "George" is referring to George Clooney her husband the actor/director/producer/humanitarian/philanthropist/activist/tequila magnate and all-around good guy, to whom this site is dedicated.
Way2 - is this an accurate view?

No one would argue the most beautiful outcome is the two beautiful children Amal Clooney gave birth to.

Ladybug, a stipulation of the facts of reality is not a view. And I have no idea or comment on what you choose to root your mind to.
My message was clear. I'm not interested in chasing a semantic tail.

Re: George clooney opens up on Kentucky Roots and dirty diapers
Ladybug, you're a bright spark so help me out here.
Why on earth do you have to put George and Amal's names in inverted commas? We know who they are, you know who they are.
Oh and by the way did you ever watch the Colbert video I posted in order for you to remember some of Amal's cases that have put her in danger? I notice you responded just two minutes after I posted it, so I assume not.

Annemarie, we talk about a lot of people on this site. I'm sure there is more than one couple in world with the names Amal and George. I'm trying to make sure I have the truth.
Help me, is this statement True:
"Amal" references on Clooney's Open House refers to Amal Clooney, the mother of George Clooney's biological children and "George" is referring to her husband George Clooney the actor/director /producer /humanitarian /philanthropist /activist/tequila magnate and all-around good guy, to whom this site is dedicated.
Yes or No?

What do you think the answer to that is, Ladybug? You've been involved in writing your opinions and knowledge to many important people I really don't think you need any advice from us......

Re: George clooney opens up on Kentucky Roots and dirty diapers
Pan is right ladybug you don't need me to answer or anyone else. You can answer your own question given all the things that have been said here and in the several other posts that the question has been asked and answered in.
So now you tell us what the answer is.

No. That's why I'm constantly asking for clarification.
And I would have been surprised if anyone else answered the question with a "yes" or "no".

Ladybug, if you don't believe we are talking About George and Amal Clooney on his fan site.
The George you claim to have a connection too why are you even posting here?

I love the pictures; even the ones over the years with his lady loves.
I love following George Clooney's involvement in the movie making process.
Sometimes I find out where he's located, he moves around a lot.
I admire his heart to make life better across the globe.

I give full credit to Nina and Nick for raising such a wonderful caring son. I can see George and Amal instilling those same
principles in their kids.

I'm warning you, enough with this nonsense. If you don't have the intelligence to figure out from context on a George Clooney website that the George and Amal Clooney being referred to in conversation are George and Amal Clooney, then you can leave.ladybugcngc wrote:Do I think this statement True:
