George Clooney, 61, has been married to 44-year-old Amal for eight years, but in a new interview marking their anniversary, he exclaimed that meeting her had “screwed my life up”. The Oscar-winning actor had enjoyed a free and easy lifestyle – until the moment he first set eyes on the love of his life.
The pair first met at Lake Como, where he was staying with his parents and friends at the time, and eventually became inseparable.
“Life was easy for me [but] now I’ve got twins running around!” he joked.
The once “confirmed bachelor” changed his mindset on marriage when he laid eyes on lawyer Amal, admitting that he saw “an extraordinarily fun, smart, beautiful, great woman” and was immediately “taken”.
He then endured the heartache of wondering whether Amal could accept a 17-year age gap.

“I tell him ‘I was Batman’ and he says ‘Yeah, but not anymore!'” George exclaimed, adding mischievously: “If only he knew how true that was!”
Meanwhile, though Amal has many positive qualities adored by George, her cooking skills have never been one of them.
Publicly shaming his wife’s inability to boil an egg, he admitted that reports of her failures in the kitchen have not been exaggerated.
In an earlier conversation with Jimmy Kimmel, he declared himself the family’s “chef”, explaining: “Look, my wife, she does amazing things, you know.
“She gets journalists out of jail in countries like Azerbaijan, Egypt… but when it comes to cooking she makes reservations.”
He added: “She went to hardboil an egg once, and she put the egg in the pan and turned the stove on without any water in the pan.”
Amal admitted on CBS that she turns her lack of know-how into an asset for herself, knowing that she only has to attempt to start cooking before George rescues her.
She jokingly added that if she wants to be taken out for a romantic meal, all she has to do is let her husband see her scraping ingredients together in the kitchen, before he quickly announces that it’s “date night”.
