Actor George Clooney, his wife Amal Alamuddin Clooney and their two children have become French citizens.
The couple and their eight-year-old twins, Ella and Alexander, were granted citizenship under a naturalization decree.
The couple are living in France with their children after uprooting the family to get away from the culture of Hollywood, the Academy Award-winning actor and director said in October.

In an interview with Esquire, Clooney, 64, opened up about his life in France and explained why they chose to move his family to the countryside.
‘You know, we live on one farm in France. Much of my life growing up was spent on a farm, and as a child I hated the very idea of it. But now for them it’s like they’re not on their iPads, you know? They eat with adults and have to take their dishes with them. They have a much better life.”

“I was worried about raising our kids in LA, in the culture of Hollywood. I felt like they would never get a fair chance in life,” he continued.
In addition to his family home in France, George reportedly owns an estate in England, a villa on Lake Como in Italy and another property near his family in Kentucky, People reported.

During his Esquire interview, Clooney talked about life in France, away from the glamor of Hollywood.
“France – they don’t care about fame,” he said. “I don’t want them to worry about paparazzi. I don’t want them to be compared to someone else’s famous kids.”
