George Clooney is one of Hollywood’s most in-demand actors, but to his kids, he’s just their dad.
Clooney joked he’s already won “many” awards as he chatted exclusively with Fox News Digital on the red carpet Sunday ahead of the Kennedy Center Honors ceremony in Washington, DC.
When asked if his kids understand the honor he’s receiving, Clooney humorously admits that his twins aren’t even aware of his status in Tinseltown.
“No, they don’t even do it … I keep trying to explain to them what a big star I am and they don’t really care,” he said. “And you don’t really believe me, do you?”

“No, not really,” Amal agreed. “Someday.”

“One day,” George said with a grin on his face.
Clooney and Amal went on their first date in October 2013 after meeting at his home on Lake Como, Italy. He proposed in April 2014 and they married five months later.
Amal gave birth to the couple’s twins – Alexander and Ella – in 2017.

When asked how it feels to have his wife’s support as an honoree at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Clooney didn’t mince his words.
“Well, I mean, it would be awful if she didn’t support me. What a terrible thing that would be,” he said.

George was one of five acclaimed artists including Amy Grant, Gladys Knight, Tania León and members of the band U2: Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr.
“It’s cool to be out here with my friends and you don’t have to wonder if you’re going to win either, you already know … which helps,” Clooney told Fox News Digital.
“I didn’t know Tania León, I had never met Amy Grant before who is such a beautiful soul so it was just a wonderful weekend for us.”
