George Clooney (64) explained why he and his wife Amal never had an argument during their eleven years of marriage. The actor, who married Amal in 2014, spoke openly about the topic in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. He admitted that he married in middle age, when he was already mature and had no need to let his ego win.
Clooney declared some time ago that he never had an argument with his wife. However, the editor of the Los Angeles Times told him that he had been married for almost thirty years and found the claim implausible. The Danny Eleven star responded by asking: “How old were you when you got married?”
The editor replied: “I was 32.” The actor added: “That’s the difference. I was 52. There is a reason why policies for people between the ages of 16 and 25 are extremely expensive. Because of aggression. I had no intention of remarrying, but I fell head over heels in love with the person who changed that. We have children. I didn’t want to have children. Everything changed because I met this incredible person.”
When asked how a marriage can work without conflict, George replied: “I’m in a completely different phase of life. I’m more confident and I don’t need to win arguments. When you’re young, your ego tries to win everything.”
