Geroge Clooney BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

George Clooney, the 64-year-old Hollywood icon, has been at the center of heated tabloid chatter over his on-screen romance ban, with RadarOnline reporting exclusively on December 26 that its not entirely his choice. Sources close to the star claim wife Amal Clooney issued an ultimatum after he turned 60, demanding no more kissing or sex scenes, countering Georges public line that hes simply following Paul Newmans lead and prioritizing family with their eight-year-old twins. He reiterated this in a recent Daily Mail interview, saying he told Amal, I can still play basketball with 25-year-olds, but in 25 years Ill be 85, prompting insiders to call it her demand shaping his vulnerable new role in Netflixs Jay Kelly alongside Adam Sandler.

Grief has shadowed the glamour, as Clooney mourned his older sister Adelia Ada Zeidler, who lost her brave battle with cancer on December 19 at 65. PEOPLE received his heartfelt statement calling her his hero, whom hell miss terribly, with her funeral held December 22 in Kentucky; AmoMama and 7News confirmed the familys private sorrow amid his reflections on aging and legacy.

Business buzz swirls around unconfirmed whispers from IBTimes citing National Enquirer that his 2026 calendar bursts with film shoots, production meetings, and tours, allegedly breaking promises to Amal for more family time despite his directing pivot for the kids. CinemaBlend notes Clooney boasting on CBS Sunday Morning about dodging pigeonholing by hitting career doubles like Michael Clayton, not billion-dollar franchises, freeing him for gems like O Brother Where Art Thou and Syriana, with Ocean's 14 eyeing a 2026 shoot.

No fresh public appearances this week after AOLs vague claim he pulled out citing health issues, though BroadwayWorld hypes his Good Night and Good Luck recording hitting DVD December 30. Critics praise his Jay Kelly depth, per The Star, as the eternal charmer navigates fame, failure, and fatherhood with calculated grace.
