Actor George Clooney, along with his wife Amal Alamuddin Clooney, and their two children, have become French citizens.

The couple and their 8-year-old twins, Ella and Alexander, were granted citizenship, according to a naturalization decree.

The couple has been living in France with their children after uprooting the family to get away from the culture of Hollywood, the Academy Award-winning actor and director said in October.

In an interview with Esquire, Clooney, 64, opened up about his life in France and explained why they chose to move his family to the countryside. 

"You know, we live on a farm in France. A good portion of my life growing up was on a farm, and as a kid I hated the whole idea of it. But now, for them, it’s like – they’re not on their iPads, you know? They have dinner with grown-ups and have to take their dishes in. They have a much better life."

"I was worried about raising our kids in L.A., in the culture of Hollywood. I felt like they were never going to get a fair shake at life," he continued. 

In addition to his family home in France, George reportedly owns an estate in England, a villa on Lake Como in Italy, and another property near his family in Kentucky, People reported. 

Fox News Digital has reached out to Clooney's representatives for comment. 

During his Esquire interview, Clooney talked about living in France, away from the glamor of Hollywood. 

"France – they kind of don’t give a s--- about fame," he said. "I don’t want them to be walking around worried about paparazzi. I don’t want them being compared to somebody else’s famous kids."

"While Americans across the country spent time with their families this Christmas season, ICE continued delivering the American people the greatest gift of 2025: getting criminals out of our neighborhoods and protecting our families," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital.

"ICE officers arrested heinous criminal illegal aliens yesterday, including monsters who sexually abused children and murderers," McLaughlin continued, adding, "Under President Trump and Secretary Noem criminal illegal aliens have NO PLACE in our country." 

Earlier this month, Fox News Digital reported that more than 2.5 million illegal immigrants have left the United States over the past year, including more than 605,000 deportations since President Donald Trump took office in January.

In addition to the deportations, DHS has been encouraging illegal immigrants in the U.S. to return to their native countries using the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Home Mobile App, through which users can receive a complimentary plane ticket home and a $1,000 exit bonus upon their return.

In the agency’s statement to Fox News Digital, DHS said that "those in the U.S. illegally will receive the $3K stipend and a free flight home if they sign up to self-deport through the CBP Home app by the end of the year."
