-
George Clooney, 61, and his wife of eight years, Amal, are raising five-year-old twins.
-
Amal was mocked with words such as "clown" and "transgender."
-
George shared what to do while living in a "cynical" environment.
George Clooney was one of the world's most eligible bachelors for most of his life. However, when he met lawyer Amal, his world changed, and he became a husband and a father to twin children.
Amal is 14 years younger than her husband, yet their relationship has gone from strength to strength through the years, and they have built a beautiful family together. Yet they still receive hateful comments.

Amal and George met in Lake Como in 2013 when Amal was passing through on her way to Cannes. Talking about what he felt for his wife when he first met her, George said:
"I thought she was beautiful, and I thought she was funny and obviously smart."
He jokingly admitted that he wasn't sure his wife thought the same about him, and he believed she probably thought he was an old man she would take no interest in. However, the pair began talking regularly soon after they met.

He mentioned they had become close friends, and then it became apparent that they both wanted to be more than friends. Their romantic relationship began while they were on a safari in Kenya.
George shared that they went to a place called Giraffe Manor, where giraffes, Amal's favorite animal, stick their heads through the windows to kiss you. He said when he looked back on the photos when he returned to LA; he realized he wanted to ask her to marry him.
On April 28, 2014, George finally popped the question over a pasta dinner he made for them. However, he said Amal was so shocked by the proposal that it took her over 20 minutes to give him a response.

He said it gave him pause when she took so long to answer as he thought it might be too soon, but he knew she was the one for him and that they were the perfect couple. However, she agreed to marry him, and they tied the knot in September 2014.
George Got Emotional When He Found Out He'd Be The Father of Twins
Soon after they married, Amal and George knew they would like to start a family together. They used fertility treatments, and eventually, Amal fell pregnant with the couple's fraternal twins. George was shocked by the news.

He mentioned that he was with Amal in London when they went for the ultrasound that revealed they would welcome two babies. He said:
"He goes, 'Well, here's one,' and I said, 'Great.' And then he goes, 'And there's the second one.' And I was like, 'What?' We just sat there staring at that piece of paper they give you, and I kept thinking it was a mistake."
The twins, Ella and Alexander, were born a month early at St. Mary's Hospital. Prince William and Kate Middleton's children were also born at that hospital. George was shocked to become a father at 56 but excited, too.

Shortly after the twins were born, Clooney said he and his wife weren't getting much sleep, but it was worth it. He also said he was good at changing diapers, which he knew he would be during Amal's pregnancy.
George admitted that his first thought when his twins were born was that he hoped he would be a good father and wouldn't ruin his children. His next thought was to always be there for his wife, so she was well supported.
Talking about his wife, George said that Amal was a wonderful mother and did a fantastic job for their children. Then he admitted:
"I really didn't think at 56 I would be the parent of twins. Don't make plans. You always have to just enjoy the ride."

George and Amal have been quietly and privately raising their twins for the past couple of years. But they have recently made headlines because they have faced some criticism regarding Amal.
Amal Is Mocked for Looking Like a Man, Having Bad Taste, and Body
Recently, a photo of Amal in a gold dress surfaced online. While she looks beautiful in the picture, fans and critics didn't think she looked good in the snap. They had other ideas, with one saying she looked like she had an eating disorder.

Another said a different dress she was wearing was not made for a mature woman but for a young child and therefore did not seem right that Amal was wearing it. The fan said it looked "awkward."
One Twitter user had strong opinions on the dress, too, simply asking a question about it. The comment read:
"Is she a bubble girl? What is she in?"

From the comments about the dress, Amal has also received hateful comments for other things, such as her facial structure. A video of Amal having her makeup done was posted to Instagram, and critics immediately shared their opinions.
Many fans asked whether or not she was a man, while others said she was only pretty because of her makeup. One person believed Amal was transgender and tried to hide it, thinking she was a woman biologically.
Amal faced much criticism about the makeup look, even though the brand that posted the video talked about how beautiful she was in the video.
One critic said that even after she had all the makeup on, she was not beautiful because she had the wrong facial features, but that her wealth was what made her "extremely beautiful." Another commented with the sick emoji, and some said she looked like a clown.
Other comments on the Instagram post were more complimentary, but most of the words were hateful toward Amal. George knows exactly what to do when his wife is being criticized and how to support her.
George's Reaction to Hate and Praising Wife
After Amal received so much criticism, George said that people shouldn't read the comments on anything, let alone Instagram and Twitter posts, because we live in a time where people are incredibly negative.

George said his wife is an excellent, kind, and intelligent woman of whom he is consistently proud. He does not mind what tabloids or social media trolls have to say about his wife, as he is always in love with her.
Talking about her sense of style, George said that whatever the trolls say, he has his own opinion of her. He gushed:
"From the day I met her, she has the incredibly eclectic, sort of wild style. She just has her own style; she doesn't have a stylist or anything; she just picks clothes."

He said that anything his wife dresses in, he finds incredible and beautiful, and he admires how she can dress without help from a professional stylist like many other Hollywood celebs.
He has also talked about what she and their twins mean to him. He has said that his life is no longer essential to him, but said: "I met someone who I would absolutely trade my life for…. Her life meant more to me than my life." The sentiment extends to his children, too.
