In a revelation that humanises one of Hollywood's most enduring stars, George Clooney has confessed to a surprising domestic shortcoming: he can't cook. The Oscar-winning actor and director admitted that culinary duties at his lavish family home are almost entirely handled by his brilliant human rights lawyer wife, Amal.
The father of five-year-old twins, Alexander and Ella, revealed that his cooking repertoire is limited to one solitary, simple dish. While Amal whips up exquisite meals, Clooney's go-to is a basic pasta recipe that he relies on for his children.
'I can really only cook one thing,' the 62-year-old star confessed during a recent interview. 'It's pasta, with a little butter and cheese for the kids. That's the extent of my culinary expertise.'
He was full of praise for his spouse's talents, both in and out of the kitchen. 'My wife is a brilliant cook, like she is brilliant at everything,' he gushed, highlighting the division of labour in their household. While Amal creates gourmet meals, George sticks to his reliable, child-friendly pasta.
The couple, who married in a lavish Venetian ceremony in 2014, are known for fiercely protecting their family's privacy. This rare glimpse into their home life reveals a surprisingly normal dynamic, with the Ocean's Eleven star taking on the role of the parent who handles the simple, foolproof meals.
Clooney's admission proves that even A-list celebrities, who can undoubtedly afford personal chefs, sometimes prefer the normality of preparing simple meals for their children. It's a relatable moment for parents everywhere who have their own limited 'speciality' dish they rely on.
