“I love the French culture, your language, even if I’m still bad at it after 400 days of courses,” the 64-year-old actor told RTL radio early in December.

The couple lives with their 8-year-old twins on a farm in southern France.
Clooney’s wife, a British-Lebanese human rights lawyer, speaks fluent French.
The couple owns a property in southern France and Clooney had told RTL that their French home “is where we’re happiest.”
In a separate interview with Esquire magazine, Clooney said that he was afraid that living in the US his 8-year-olds might never “get a fair shake at life” and living on a farm in France would give them a much better life.
