Proud dad George Clooney recently opened up about becoming a father to twins and revealed the reason why he and wife Amal named their babies Ella and Alexander.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, George talked about the reason behind the twins’ classic monikers. The 56-year-old actor bluntly admitted that he and Amal “just didn’t want [the twins] to have really dumb names.”
Clooney pointed out that their twins will most likely live their lives under the watchful eyes of the public, thus prompting him and Amal to give them “normal” names — Ella and Alexander.
The Money Monster actor also revealed that the names didn’t have any great inspiration.
“We figured these kids are going to be looked at a lot and watched and [have their] every move sort of judged… So we looked for some sort of normal names. We didn’t have any great inspiration. It wasn’t Alexander the Great and Ella Fitzgerald.”
