George Clooney can’t take his eyes off wife Amal in runway-ready look amid lavish 65th birthday celebration

George and Amal Clooney looked more in love than ever as they stepped out in St Tropez to celebrate the veteran actor’s 65th birthday on Thursday. The couple, who tied the knot in 2014 and share twins Alexander and Ella, soaked up the sun in the coastal town as they laughed with each other before joining friends for lunch at the exclusive Club 55. They also enjoyed a scenic boat ride after cruising around the picturesque waters on a yacht. 

George looked dapper in a black polo shirt and beige trousers with a tan leather belt and matching tan loafers, while his glamorous wife stunned in a fresh-off-the-runway Pucci look featuring a textured, multi-colored top and black miniskirt with colored detailing and a thigh slit. 

She accessorized with matching calf-high boots and a black handbag, and wore her signature oversized sunglasses as she held on tightly to George’s hand. The Jay Kelly star recently opened up about his milestone birthday to Page Six, revealing that he was entering his “third act”. 

“Well, let’s hope! Depends on how long the whole show runs,” he shared, before adding that he was more focused on philanthropy now than his acting career. “I’m spending it more working on the [Clooney Foundation for Justice], working more on the schools and doing things that I find more fulfilling because I’m not chasing a career anymore, you know,” he explained. 

“That’s helpful in a way because you get to spend time working on things that matter to you at least. And so that’s where my focus is. But, you know, if you get a good part, you take it.”

George added that he couldn’t believe how far he had come in his career, despite a handful of mishaps. “I remember me on The Facts of Life. I had a good mullet. The idea that I could do some of the things – shows I’ve done and then to still have a career is shocking,” he quipped.

“It’s a weird thing. As you get older, it’s hard to watch movies when you were younger because you’re like…that doesn’t even look like me anymore,” he told People. 

“You know, I’m watching because I’ve got eight-year-olds, I’m watching Fantastic Mr Fox, which is a little easier because it’s not really me, it’s just my voice. And that’s kind of fun because the kids are slowly figuring out what I do for a living.”

“Halloween’s a big holiday. My son went as Batman. He hadn’t seen Batman yet,” he explained to W magazine. “I always say to him, ‘You know I was Batman.’ He’s always like, ‘No.'”

“I don’t know that he knew how profound it was when he said I wasn’t Batman. A couple of weeks ago, I finally showed it to him,” he continued. “It wasn’t great for grown-ups, but it’s great for eight-year-olds, so he loved it.”
