'Yeah, it's a little crazy,' replied George who kept it casual chic with a black leather jacket over black T-shirt along with blue jeans.

'Also, we did a really dumb thing. Which is they speak fluent Italian at three, but I don't speak Italian and my wife doesn't speak Italian,' George said.



'It's terrible. We've armed them with a language. I'll say, ''Go back in and clean up your room'' and they're like ''Eh, papo stronzo'' and I'm like, ''Eh, what?'',' he added.

George shared that he's been spending quarantine in Los Angeles with Amal and their twins and his office was turned into a nursery.

I figli di George e Amal Clooney hanno un'arma contro i genitori, la lingua italiana. L'attore, durante un intervento al Jimmy Kimmel Live, ha rivelato che i gemelli Ella e Alexander, tre anni, parlano un ottimo italiano, mentre lui e Amal non conoscono la lingua e quindi hanno fornito ai figli uno strumento da usare contro i genitori.

Anche grazie alle frequenti vacanze in Italia e nella casa di Clooney sul Lago di Como, i piccoli hanno imparato bene l'italiano. "Abbiamo fatto una cosa davvero stupida", ha detto Clooney, "a tre anni loro parlano correntemente l'italiano, ma io e mia moglie no. Quindi è davvero terribile; li abbiamo armati di una lingua speciale", ha scherzato l'attore.

"Se dico loro 'andate a mettere in ordine la vostra stanza', loro rispondono 'papà stranzo'", ha spiegato l'attore, 59 anni, storpiando l'epiteto in italiano. Durante l'intervista, Clooney ha anche rivelato di essere lui lo chef di casa in questo periodo di lockdown e ha confessato ironico il dispiacere di aver visto il suo ufficio in casa convertirsi "in un asilo nido: una cosa terribile".

George Clooney: "Our twins use Italian as a weapon against us"

The actor reveals that his two three-year-old children, Ella and Alexander, make fun of him and Amal by speaking in the language the two of them still don't speak or understand well.

George and Amal Clooney's children have a weapon against their parents, the Italian language. The actor, during a speech at Jimmy Kimmel Live , revealed that the twins Ella and Alexander, three years old, speak excellent Italian, while he and Amal do not know the language and therefore have provided their children with a tool to use against their parents. 

Also thanks to the frequent holidays in Italy and in Clooney's house on Lake Como, the little ones have learned Italian well. "We did a really stupid thing," said Clooney, "at three they speak Italian fluently, but my wife and I don't. So it's really terrible; we armed them with a special language," joked the actor. .

"If I tell them 'go and tidy up your room', they reply 'papa stranzo'", explained the 59-year-old actor, mangling the Italian epithet. During the interview, Clooney also revealed that he is the home chef during this period of lockdown and ironically confessed to his regret at seeing his home office convert "into a nursery: a terrible thing".
