-I didn’t post about George Clooney’s THR cover story yesterday because I needed time to process it. This was a much more intimate look into his life than we’re used to (he invited the reporter to his Lake Como home for lunch and dinner, where he introduced him to Amal and the kids). They talk about his proposal (“I had a playlist with my Rosemary [Clooney] songs on and I was waiting for this song, ‘Why Shouldn’t I?'”), changing diapers (“I’m a very good diaper guy, which I didn’t know I would be”), playing basketball with Obama, how he bought his Lake Como house (he and Rande Gerber‘s motorcycles broke down in Italy and they were taken in by the homeowner), and his $200M tequila payday. Interestingly, he talks a lot about politics and racism and it feels like…positioning? I always believed him when he’s said in the past that he has no interest in a political career, but now I’m not so sure.
