George Clooney said his eight-year-old son, Alexander, is a “cut and paste” version of himself. Clooney, 64, told People Thursday at the American Film Institute Fest in Los Angeles: “My son looks exactly like I looked when I was his age, so it is sort of cut and paste in a way.” The actor added: “I show him pictures of me when I was 8 and he thinks they’re pictures of him.” Clooney and wife Amal, 47, had Alexander and his twin sister, Ella, in June 2017. The couple refuse to share pictures of their kids to protect their privacy. The two are being raised on a farm in France. “I was worried about raising our kids in L.A., in the culture of Hollywood,” the titular Jay Kelly star revealed to Esquire a few weeks ago. “I felt like they were never going to get a fair shake at life,” he explained. “France—they kind of don’t give a s–-t about fame. I don’t want them to be walking around worried about paparazzi. I don’t want them being compared to somebody else’s famous kids.”
