George Clooney makes decision about future roles after conversation with his wife

George Clooney Amal Clooney

George Clooney, 64, has reiterated that he is now too old to play romantic leads in films, stating he is "not kissing a girl anymore".
He made this decision after turning 60, following a conversation with his wife, Amal Clooney, and likens his career shift to that of Paul Newman.
Clooney previously mentioned in March that he would no longer be doing romantic films, not wanting to compete with younger leading men.
The actor also shared that he has scaled back on directing to prioritise parenting his eight-year-old twins, Alexander and Ella.
His latest work is Noah Baumbach’s Jay Kelly, where he portrays an ageing actor reflecting on life choices, a role praised for its raw and revealing nature.
