I\u2019m curious if those fake waiters were his celebrity chums like Brad Pitt or Matt Damon, though he sadly did not get super specific. As Amal has been married to George Clooney since 2014, she clearly knows his mischievous sense of humor well enough to humorously beat him at his own game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Plus, the human rights lawyer is a firsthand witness to the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/movies\/george-clooney-kids-love-pranks-amal-reveal-how-often-it-happens-home\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:prank wars that happen at home;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;prank wars that happen at home&quot;}\" class=\"link \"><u>prank wars that happen at home<\/u><\/a> between Clooney and their kids when they prank their dear dad with movie props.

But at the King\u2019s Trust event, Clooney did jokingly leave a tip of his own to anyone listening about pranking someone who\u2019s above the age of 60:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It\u2019s a dangerous thing to surprise someone when they turned 65 because you could drop.
