During a recent interview with Esquire magazine<\/a>, the two-time Oscar winner offered a peek into what his life is like outside of Hollywood, with his wife, Amal Clooney, and their children, twins Ella and Alexander.<\/p>\n More from The Hollywood Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re very lucky,\u201d the Jay Kelly<\/a> actor said. \u201cYou know, we live on a farm in France. A good portion of my life growing up was on a farm, and as a kid I hated the whole idea of it. But now, for them, it\u2019s like \u2014 they\u2019re not on their iPads, you know? They have dinner with grown-ups and have to take their dishes in. They have a much better life.\u201d<\/p>\n Clooney continued, \u201cI was worried about raising our kids in L. A., in the culture of Hollywood. I felt like they were never going to get a fair shake at life. France \u2014 they kind of don\u2019t give a shit about fame. I don\u2019t want them to be walking around worried about paparazzi. I don\u2019t want them being compared to somebody else\u2019s famous kids.\u201d<\/p>\n The Wolfs actor has been on a recent press tour for his upcoming film, Jay Kelly<\/a>, which sees him star opposite Adam Sandler. The Noah Baumbach-directed film is set to his theaters on Nov. 14.<\/p>\n While chatting with The Hollywood Reporter <\/a>at the pic\u2019s New York Film Festival\u00a0premiere at the end of September, Clooney reflected on not living a life of regret, which is opposite to his character Jay Kelly, a movie star embarking on a\u00a0journey through self discovery.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I read the script, the two things I thought of were I knew how to play the guy, but I was also so thrilled that in real life I hadn\u2019t lived a life of regret, which is what this guy is dealing with at 64 years old,\u201d he said at the time. \u201cSo I was thrilled that I was going to get a chance to explore it, but I was also thrilled that I wasn\u2019t actually living that life.\u201d<\/p>\n Best of The Hollywood Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for THR’s Newsletter<\/a>.
