“They were glad to see him go”: George Clooney reveals the only thing his wife Amal could not bear from him while filming The Midnight Sky
He may be one of Hollywood’s most desirable leaders.
But George Clooney has revealed that the beard he grew for his role in The Midnight Sky was a major diversion for his wife, human rights lawyer Amal Clooney.
The 59-year-old actor said Thursday that Amal and his three-year-old daughter, Ella, were “happy to see him go” once filming was over.

“My daughter and my wife, perhaps the happiest day I can remember, was the day I shaved him,” he told the Australia Today show. “They were very happy to see it come out.”
However, he admitted that his son, Alexander, also three years old, was a fan of the beard and liked to “slip things into it”.
“My son grabbed me by the beard and pulled my head to talk to me, so he liked it,” George added.

I put things on my beard when I slept. I would like to have a palette stuck in my neck when I go to work ”.
George not only shaved for the role, but also underwent an impressive physical transformation before filming.
I spent the summer in Italy eating lentil soup and exercising three times a day. I lost about 25 pounds (11 pounds) because you wanted it [the character] to be quite emancipated, ”he said.

In the film, George plays a scientist who ventures across the Arctic with a young woman to contact a team of astronauts returning after a global catastrophe.
“It’s not very common for you to read a really good script and see a good story,” he said of the film.
“In my life and my career, you’ve read one or two scripts a year, and I’ve read this one and thought, ‘I’m the right guy to play this role.’
