He’s getting raves for his new film, Jay Kelly, about an out-of-touch Hollywood star who realizes he’s missing out on life, but George Clooney isn’t chasing stardom any longer. “I am not in that mass rush to succeed anymore,” the 64-year-old admitted in a recent TV interview with Extra.
Instead, the writer/director/producer said he’d prefer to take things easy and spend time with Alexander and Ella, the 8-year-old twins he shares with wife of 11 years, Amal. “I’ve had my career in many ways, and you know, things were winding down in a way, so I get to be home with my kids a lot and it’s fun,” George explained. “I’m still young enough that I can run around with them.” The one lesson he took away from his movie alter-ego is that such moments are precious.
“Almost every industry has these conversations, which is: ‘I wish I hadn’t missed this thing that my kids were doing when I was working,” he reflected, per Daily Mail. “It is coming to terms with the sacrifices you make to succeed in any business.”
