Hollywood star George Clooney spoke candidly about how he felt when he found out that his wife, Amal Clooney, was pregnant with twins. Speaking on “The Drew Barrymore Show,” the actress said she was “scared” to receive the news, adding that the revelation was all the more surprising given her advanced age.
The Oscar winner also spoke about his proposal to Amal, which he called a “disaster” because it wasn’t what he expected. The couple eventually married in 2014 in a lavish ceremony in Italy and welcomed their twins, Ella and Alex, in 2017.

On Friday’s episode of “The Drew Barrymore Show,” George revealed his first reaction to learning that he and his wife, Amal, were expecting twins.
The actress told Barrymore, per HuffPost“We go to that thing at 12 weeks where they go, there’s the kid. [To] look at that picture of the kid,” the “Ticket to Heaven” star recalled. “And [the doctor] went, ‘It’s a man.’ Then he went, ‘And a girl.’ And I was like, ‘What?’”
George later said that he was “scared” to find out that they were expecting more than one baby, as if to show that they had never considered the possibility.
He added, “It was a disaster. I was like, ‘Are you kidding me?’” the “Ocean’s Eleven” actress recalled telling the doctor. “Now, it’s the greatest thing in the world. I was scared then.”
Taken aback by his response, Barrymore asked the veteran actor to explain why he felt intimidated by the announcement, “Well, I’m 56 years old, and that just sounds scary to me,” Clooney replied.
George Clooney Calls His Marriage Proposal a ‘Disaster’
Elsewhere on the show, the Oscar-winning actor shared other details about his personal life, recalling his proposal to Amal. George shared that things did not go as planned despite his great efforts.
“It was a disaster, I planned it, I planned it all,” the actress told the show’s host. “I have a ring in a little drawer behind her, I’ve made dinner, and we’ve only been dating for about six months.”
Reflecting further on the experience, George shared that his plan was to ask Amal to get something from a drawer and found a ring placed inside. He also planned that the song “Why Shouldn’t I” by his aunt, Rosemary Clooney, would be played in the background during that time.

Although Amal found the ring as planned, her reaction to seeing it was not what the Hollywood actress had imagined. George shared that he thought the ring was left behind by one of his ex-girlfriends.
“He’s like pulling out this thing, this little drawer, and there’s a diamond ring in there,” the “Money Monster” star recounted of the 2014 proposal. “And he saw it, and he was like, ‘Uh, there’s a ring there.’ Like someone left a ring there years ago. And I was like on my knees….”
Seeing George on one knee made Amal gasp when she realized the actor proposed to her. He finally said “Yes” after 20 minutes of screaming, “Oh my God, Oh my God.”
Five months after the “catastrophic” proposal, the couple tied the knot in a high-profile ceremony in Italy, attended by their closest friends and family.

Last month, George, who recently celebrated eight years of marriage to Amal, spoke about one of the mistakes he and his wife made when trying to raise their twins, Ella and Alex, to be good individuals.
“We made a terrible mistake,” the actor said ET. “We teach them Italian. But we don’t speak Italian, so we arm them with a language that can harm us.”
The actor also gave details about the values he hopes the children will develop as they grow up.
He added, “The same thing I think everyone wants to instill in their kids, really….Which is to pay attention to other people. “In my family, the rule is always ‘Challenge the powerful, defend the powerless.’ And if you can do that, you have a good life.”
