George Clooney's sarcastic response

When the show’s host Lorraine Kelly asked George if he was with Amal during The Fashion Awards by Pandora, he answered: “'Do I look like I was at a fashion award?”

The ‘Ticket to Paradise’ star also mentioned, “If I'm in a picture with my wife, they do cut me out. No, I wasn't there, I sadly missed the fashion awards, which really cuts me there [points to his heart].”

Kelly went on to tease Geroge by questioning him, “Have you got used to being this elbow in the picture?”

George disclosed, “They always say 'George was nice enough to hold an umbrella for his gorgeous wife.’ She is a force of nature and so homely, but we do what we can, we survive.”

This came after the 62-year-old star while attending the premiere of his new release ‘The Boys in the Boat’ reportedly shared, “She [Amal] cleans up. I'm always embarrassed because I'm wearing something that I've worn, like, 1,000 times.”

The filmmaker added, “My entire career has been reduced to a plus-one now. I did one of those Women in Film things a couple of years ago, and I had to introduce myself as Amal Clooney's husband because, honestly, I was dead otherwise.”

Internet reacts

Meanwhile, people on the internet have reacted to Geroge’s remark on his wife as a Facebook user commented, “It’s because she has beauty AND BRAINS. She has success of her own which he admires.”

A second user wrote, “Beautiful, smart, intelligent couple🥰. Finally, an actor that can carry his own umbrella.”

A third one shared, “George you waited a long time for this lady to come into your life. Enjoy and love one another.”

However, a fourth one has a different opinion as they added, “He’s dated plenty of women that had beauty and brains and their own success. That’s not what it is. First, I believe she offered a strategic partnership with his brand. Second, he’s getting on in age. Third, she’s significantly younger by comparison. Had he met her 20 years earlier than he did, she’d be just another notch.”
