PARIS<\/strong> \u2013 Call them Monsieur and Madame Clooney. <\/p>\n

France\u2019s government says that George Clooney<\/a>, his wife Amal<\/a> and their twins<\/a> Ella and Alexander have been awarded French citizenship.<\/p>\n

The naturalizations of the Kentucky-born star of the \u201cOceans\u201d series of heist movies and his family were announced last weekend in the Journal Officiel, where French government decrees are published. <\/p>\n

The government notice indicated that human rights lawyer Amal Clooney was naturalized under her maiden name, Amal Alamuddin. It also noted that George Clooney’s middle name is Timothy.<\/p>\n

The couple purchased an estate in France<\/a> in 2021. In an interview with Esquire in October, Clooney described their \u201cfarm in France\u201d as their primary residence \u2014 a decision the 64-year-old actor and his 47-year-old wife made with their children in mind.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was worried about raising our kids in L.A., in the culture of Hollywood,\u201d he told the magazine.<\/a> \u201cI 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

Growing up away from the spotlight in France, \u201cthey\u2019re not on their iPads, you know?\u201d he said. “They have dinner with grown-ups and have to take their dishes in. They have a much better life.” <\/p>\n

Representatives for George Clooney did not respond to The Associated Press\u2019 request for comment Monday.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t immediately clear whether Clooney retained his American citizenship. Amal Clooney was born in Lebanon and raised in the U.K. The 8-year-old twins were born in London.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
