Two Key Decisions Affecting George Clooney's Marriage With Lawyer-Wife Amal Clooney - Politics And Broadway

(MENAFN- Live Mint) Two key decisions are affecting hollywood superstar George Clooney 's marriage with Amal Clooney - the failure of his Political involvement and endorsement of Kamala Harris and acceptance of a Broadway role that would require the actor to be away from his lawyer-wife and children settled in Europe for months, according to a report by Radar Online.

The Hollywood superstar is reportedly“humiliated” that his endorsement of Harris had little impact on the US election outcome and his“moody” behaviour will not be“put up with” for long by Amal, the report added.

“George truly believed that his endorsement of Kamala Harris would move mountains, but it's only made him look like another conceited, self-important celebrity. His op-ed calling for President Joe Biden to remove himself from the race was also met with a lot of rolling of eyes. The truth is that George's opinion doesn't carry as much weight as he thought, and he's been left with major egg on his face. His ego has taken a big hit and he's been moody, and Amal won't put up with it for long,” an insider told the publication.

Notably, according to a report by The Guardian, whether Clooney, Beyonce or Taylor Swift , across-the-board celebrity endorsements did not have their intended impact on the 2024 US election outcome.

In fact, Harris' line-up of big names also included Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Springsteen, Charli xcx, Eminem, Jennifer Lopez, Kelly Rowland, LeBron James, Leonardo DiCaprio, Lizzo, and Oprah Winfrey, among others.

So why did they have so little impact? According to Arizona State University professor Margaretha Bentley, celebrity endorsements increased civic engagement and voter registrations but have not proven to directly impact voters' choice of candidates.“Voters may do more research after a celebrity endorses, but they will vote based on their own values and not necessarily the values of the celebrity endorser," she told the Guardian.

The source further told Radar Online that Clooney's decision to participate in the Broadway version of his 2005 movie 'Good Night, and Good Luck' has seemingly negatively impacted his family life.

The stage production is scheduled to be out in early 2025, but it has kept Clooney (63) away from his wife (46) and their seven-year-old twins, Ella and Alexander, as the family is settled in Europe.

“George is thrilled about the opportunity to star on Broadway, something he's never done before, and it will take his mind off his recent shaming in the political sphere. But it will mean he has to spend six months in New York between rehearsals and performances . He and Amal are still figuring out how they'll manage the logistics, but there are downsides. He must relocate to Manhattan, and Amal may not be able to visit often. She'll have to remain in Europe, where their kids are very settled,” the insider told Radar Online.

The insider added that besides Amal's work being based locally, Europe also allows the couple's children privacy from Clooney's fans and from harassment , but if they moved to Manhattan, keeping their identities protected“would be very difficult”.
