George Clooney: That is why Amal was missing from Broadway premiere

George Clooney (63) celebrated his debut on Broadway on Thursday evening with his leading role in the play “Good Night, and Good Luck”. Numerous celebrities appeared for the premiere in Winter Garden Theater in New York City, including Jennifer Lopez (55) with her child Emme (17) or Julianna Margulies (58). One was missing, however: wife Amal Clooney (47).

The human rights lawyer was not there for a good reason, as Clooney told reporters. “She is among the children,” the actor. The couple shares the seven -year -old twins Alexander and Ella. The family recently moved their center of life to New York City so that they can support the actor during his engagement on Broadway.

“You love to be here. I think: How can you love it? It’s New York City,” said Clooney recently. Because he always works in the evening, he can also spend more time with the kids during the day.

The play “Good Night, and Good Luck” is based on the film of the same name and tells the life story of CBS journalist Edward R. Murrow and his exposé about a senator. Clooney can be seen as a Murrow on the stage, in the film from 2005 he embodied the producer Fred W. Friendly. In addition, the Hollywood star directed and was even nominated for an Oscar in 2006.

Clooney again developed the script for the play together with Grant Heslov. Tony winner David Cromer staged the play. It was George Clooney’s first work at the theater since he was on stage in Los Angeles in 1986. “Good Night, and Good Luck” can still be seen on Broadway until June 8, 2025.
