We may not be seeing an Alexander Clooney on the screen anytime soon, but George Clooney’s son is still taking after his famous dad.
Though the Wolfs actor and his wife Amal Clooney have long kept their twins, Alexander and Ella, out of the spotlight, they will occasionally delight fans with heartwarming glimpses into their family like, and what the twins are like.
The Ocean’s 11 star and the human rights lawyer recently celebrated their milestone 10th anniversary, and during a special night out ahead of the occasion, they shared a cheeky update about how Alexander has been influenced by his dad.
Speaking with Entertainment Tonight at the Clooney Foundation for Justice’s Albie Awards, Amal and George discussed the latter’s penchant for playing pranks on people, and how Alexander has definitely taken a cue from him.
Amal explained: “It’s really bad because my son has access to Hollywood garde props, like fake cockroaches and mice, and he now has a 3D printer,” joking: “So I can’t tell you the things I am finding under my documents under my pillow.”
She went on: “And when Alexander executes the pranks and George sees it he just looks at him and he’s like, ‘Son, I am so proud of you.'”

George then joked: “I’ll say, ‘Go back in and clean your room,’ and they’ll be like, ‘Eh, papa stronzo,'” which literally means “turd,” though colloquially it’s an equivalent to “asshole.” He added: “I’m from Kentucky, English is a second language to me.”
