George Clooney stole the spotlight at the 83rd Annual Golden Globe Awards with an impressive move.
On Sunday, January 11, the Jay Kelly star took the stage at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles to present an award and flaunted his French speaking skills.
“Bonsoir, mes amis,” began the Best Performance Golden Globe Award nominee, wishing his friends in the crowd a good evening. “C’est un honneur d’être ici,” he added (“it’s an honor to be here”).
Amid the glamour of the star-studded ceremony, the 64-year-old made a meaningful gesture onstage that didn’t go unnoticed by the audience.
While his linguistic skills won over longtime fans and might have gained him new French ones, it also marked a subtle nod to a new chapter in his life.
For the unversed, the actor-filmmaker, his wife Amal Clooney and their kids Alexander and Ella were recently granted citizenship in France, per a naturalization decree obtained by the French newspaper Journal officiel.
