George Clooney Says Wife Amal Alamuddin’s Work 'Has Actual Consequence'

George Clooney in an interview to ABC said that his wife's legal skills were more important than his work as an actor.

Clooney said, "I was shooting ["Money Monster"] in New York ... and I come home after wearing a bomb vest all day, and my wife has just come back from Strasbourg where she was in the middle of a trial over the Armenian genocide with the International Court of Appeals and asks me about my day, and I say, 'Yeah, I [wore] a fake bomb,' and everything she does has actual consequence."

The 57 year old actor is currently busy promoting his upcoming film Tomorrowland which is set in a parallel world that dreams of an ideal future, told within a 1962 perspective. Clooney on the other hand isn't all excited about the future we are about to embrace.

He goes on to add, "I think that [tweeting] is the dumbest thing a famous actor could do, because there is nothing to gain from it. More people won't go see your movie. If they did then Kim Kardashian would be the biggest movie star in the world. Honestly."

"For me, the only thing that could happen is bad," said Clooney. "I have two drinks, I go home and make a Mother Theresa joke, and I wake up and my career is over."

Clooney and his wife Amal Alammudin were married in Venice in September last year.

"We had not told anyone we were getting married, but you have to post a thing in the paper," he told ABC. "And we get in the boats and headed down the Cipriani, down the Grande Canal, and it was just thousands of people and it was crazy ... and I thought, 'This is what it's going be like for the next three days.'"
