The star dad explained that little Ella would hide her face behind her hands while Alexander posed to be more outspoken. Clooney noted that he had learned a lot from his kids realizing that they were their own persons right from infancy.
Since welcoming his twins in 2017, the Oscar-winning actor has learned a lot. He once shared that his initial transition to parenthood was scary because he was fascinated by how little his babies were at birth.
The "Batman & Robin" actor, who seems to be handling his fatherly duties well, praised his wife for how she handles the kids as he added that they put in concerted efforts when the twins threw tantrums.
The movie star heartily talked about how he couldn't wait for the twins to grow older so he could teach them some of his old tricks. He noted that he intended to teach his kids morals and make them understand their privileges.
