Clooney, 56, spoke candidly in an interview
with theHollywood Reporter, published on Wednesday, about
becoming "a very good diaper guy" and the pressures of being a
first-time father to twins Alexander and Ella, born in June in
London.
When Amal Clooney was asked if she wanted to have more children,
the reporter said, her response was a negative shake of the
head.
"I'm 39," Amal Clooney said. "I already had them quite late."
The twins have been the subject of much speculation and the
Clooneys, one of Hollywood's most famous couples, kept a low
profile before their birth.
"The first thing you think is, 'I hope I don't screw this up,'"
Clooney said of fatherhood.
"But you are really responsible for two kids. I want them to be
happy. I want them to have a sense of humor. I want them to be
interested in things. I want them to be compassionate about
other people's plights. Because that's the thing, you know? You
have to have some sort of empathy."
He also added, "But I'm a very good diaper guy, which I didn't
know I would be."
The actor and director of the upcoming black comedy "Suburbicon"
also discussed an array of topics, from his friendship with
former U.S. President Barack Obama, with whom he said he
sometimes shares some "racy" texts, to his own political
ambitions, or lack of them.
"I'd like to not think I would be in politics. I'd like to think
that would make my life miserable. I don't really think about
that. But I do think you always have to participate, in your
town and your country and the world," Clooney said.
