You won't be seeing George Clooney "kissing girls" on the big screen any time soon!
The 64-year-old Hollywood heartthrob, who is father to eight-year-old twins Ella and Alexander with his lawyer wife Amal, has admitted he can no longer see himself as a cinema Casanova and now hopes his career will emulate that of movie legend Paul Newman.
Clooney told the Daily Mail, "I've been trying to go the route Paul Newman did, 'OK, well, I'm not kissing a girl anymore.' When I turned 60, I had a conversation with my wife. I said, 'Look, I can still play basketball with the boys. I play with 25-year-old guys'. I can still hang, I'm in shape. But in 25 years, I'm 85 years old. It doesn't matter how many granola bars you eat, that's a real number."
The former "E.R." star previously admitted he was left horrified after a director criticized his on-screen kissing skills, telling The New York Times, "I remember early on in my career, I had to do a kissing scene with this girl and the director goes, 'Not like that.' And I was like, 'Dude, that's my move! That's what I do in real life.'"
Earlier this year, Clooney revealed he's no longer in a "rush to succeed" because he's already "had [his] career in many ways" and he's now happy to put his family before his own interests and ambitions in the movie business.
The Hollywood star told Extra, "I'm not in that mass rush to succeed anymore. I've had my career in many ways and you know things were winding down in a way, so I get to be home with my kids a lot and it's fun. I'm still young enough that I can run around with them. That's going away quickly, but I can still do it right now."
The couple recently celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary, and the actor revealed how they marked the occasion, saying, "We had a nice dinner the night before last."
Asked what the next 11 years will look like for the couple, George replied, "Mostly be me gumming bread because I'm 64, so I'll be 75." Before that, George claimed that he's been the "recipient of a lot of luck" in his life.
He told AARP, "I think the only life lesson is to bet on yourself. And when there's opportunities, you gotta go. In my life, I have been the recipient of a lot of luck. But I also believe you create opportunity for luck. You create enough opportunity and, every once in a while, you'll hit one."
