According to the actor, he changed his perspective the moment he met his wife Amal, a human rights attorney.
Marriage changed my life
“Listen, I didn’t want to get married, I didn’t want to have kids. And then this extraordinary human being walked into my life and I just fell madly in love. And I knew from the minute I met her that everything was going to be different.” Clooney said.
The actor added that he had previously gone out with a number of amazing women but never clicked but the same was opposite when he got to know Amal.
"I went out with a lot of really nice, smart and talented people. It's just that every once in a while, there's somebody that's specifically for you. I feel like Amal and I feel that way." the actor stated.
Clooney insisted that his children, rather being a father added more joy into his life.
“I couldn’t be more surprised at how happy I am. It’s a very odd thing I do have to say.” Clooney noted.
Actor George Clooney and his wife Amal walked down the aisle in 2014, less than a year of dating.
