George Clooney confessed it’s time to accept his Hollywood heartthrob days are over and that he will no longer be ‘kissing girls’ on screen.
The 64-year-old actor, who has shared sizzling onscreen chemistry for decades with actresses including Julia Roberts and Catherine Zeta-Jones, said his age now rules out any such roles.
He told Daily Mail‘s Richard Eden how he planned to navigate the switch following in the footsteps of a fellow acting icon:
‘I’ve been trying to go the route Paul Newman did: “OK, well, I’m not kissing a girl any more’.
George is married to Amal since 2014 and shares eight-year-old twins Ella and Alexander.
On accepting the passage of time, he added: ‘When I turned 60, I had a conversation with my wife. I said, ‘Look, I can still play basketball with the boys. I play with 25-year-old guys’.
‘I can still hang, I’m in shape. But in 25 years, I’m 85 years old. It doesn’t matter how many granola bars you eat, that’s a real number.’
Earlier this month George gave insight into family life with his twins as she admitted that he ‘had kids late so I could spend time with them.’
