George Clooney has earned GQ's Man Of The Year title and in an interview with the publication, he gave a rare insight into his family life. 
The 59-year-old said he was convinced he never wanted to marry or have children, until he met his wife, Amal, 42, whom he married in 2014 - and had twins Ella and Alexander, three. 
He told GQ: 'For 36 years, I was the guy that if some kid popped up and started crying, I’d be like, ‘Are you f***ing kidding me?’ And now suddenly I’m the guy with the kid, you know?'

'I never realised how empty my life was until I met Amal': GQ's Man Of The Year George Clooney, 59, gave a rare insight into family life in an interview with the publication 
'I was like, "I’m never getting married. I’m not gonna have kids," I’m gonna work, I’ve got great friends, my life is full, I’m doing well. 


'And I didn’t know how un-full it was until I met Amal. And then everything changed. And I was like, "Oh, actually, this has been a huge empty space"...







'I’d never been in the position where someone else’s life was infinitely more important to me than my own. And then tack on two more individuals, who are small and have to be fed...'

He said: 'I didn’t know how un-full it was until I met Amal. And then everything changed. And I was like, "Oh, actually, this has been a huge empty space"...' (pictured in March 2019)
George also reflected upon his acting career and said: 'The only way you can honestly talk about things is to include yourself and your shortcomings in those things.
'Like, when I say Batman & Robin’s a terrible film, I always go, "I was terrible in it." Because I was. 
'But also because then it allows you the ability to say, "Having said I sucked in it, I can also say that none of these other elements worked, either. You know?"'

The cover star added: 'I’d never been in the position where someone else’s life was infinitely more important to me than my own. And then tack on two more individuals, who are small and have to be fed...'
George said he moved behind the camera because he doesn't want his age to force him out of the movie industry which he adores so much. 
He said: 'I love this business. And I also don’t want to be 60 and worry about what some casting director or some young producer or studio executive thinks about me anymore. I wanted to be involved. 
'Directing is the painter. Acting, writing, you know, those are the paints.'
George also addressed the Breonna Taylor verdict in his home state of Kentucky.
He said: 'I can’t believe it. There’s not even a manslaughter charge for a woman who was lying in bed and got shot to death.

Rubbing his eyes, he continued: 'Imagine if those were three Black officers and they kicked in the door of a white person’s home and shot and killed the woman, the wife, in bed. Imagine that. 
'F***ing ridiculous. You know, it’s just infuriating.'
He said he hopes that the protests in his home state remain peaceful then, and adds: 'You know, they talk about looting and stuff. Well, there have been an awful lot of Black bodies that have been looted for 400 f***ing years.'
George also spoke about letting other people, such as Chrissy Teigen handle trolls now.
He said: 'I have much more fun watching Chrissy Teigen. Somebody steps into her world and you go, "Oh, I wouldn’t do that, dude."

'It’s so much fun. Like somebody who thinks they’re really smart, and you just go, "Ugh, dude. You brought a knife to a gunfight".'
George also addressed rumours that he gave 14 friends $1million in cash.
He said: 'I thought, you know, without them I don’t have any of this. And we’re all really close, and I just thought basically if I get hit by a bus, they’re all in the will. 
'So why the f*** am I waiting to get hit by a bus? I remember talking to one really rich a**hole who I ran into in a hotel in Vegas—certainly a lot richer than I am. 
'And I remember the story had come out, and he was like, "Why would you do that?" and I was like, "Why wouldn’t you do that, you schmuck?"
