George and Amal Clooney are clearly devoted parents. The extremely famous couple, who wed in 2014, are mother and father to seven-year-old twins, Alexander and Ella , and go to great lengths to protect their privacy from the glare of the spotlight. But the ER actor, 63, has now shared that his two children have also influenced a change in his career trajectory as they've got older.
In a GQ Magazine profile featuring close pal and collaborator Brad Pitt, George opened up about his decision to shift his focus away from directing big Hollywood projects over the last decade, instead choosing to focus on taking on acting roles as a priority. "The main reason is that it is a year on the road to direct, and now my kids are of a certain age," the Oscar winner explained. "We're not going to uproot our kids out of school and run around.
" George continued: "Before that, they could just come with us and we would all go. But that's different now. So now I'm going to just probably focus on other things, like acting.
" It's clear the Ocean's 11 actor is more willing to appear in the cast of other creatives' work, instead of heading up a big-budget blockbuster. The father-of-two has a few in the pipeline: he will star in the cast of a new Noah Baumbach film, which is yet to be titled; and he's also appearing alongside Brad in the new Apple TV+ movie, Wolfs. The Gravity star is also set to make his debut on Broadway next year in the stage adaptation of his 2005 film, Good Night, And Good Luck.
