George Clooney Urged by Amal to Quit Boozing After 2020 Hospital Scare
Key Points
GEORGE Clooney faced a health wake-up call in 2020 when he was hospitalised with pancreatitis after pushing his body too hard for a film role.
His wife Amal wasn’t having it and urged him to stop risking his health, especially with their twins to think about.
After his release, George admitted he’d been “trying too hard to lose the weight quickly” and wasn’t taking enough care of himself.
A source told Radar Online Amal was “fed up with George’s risk-taking” and demanded he take better care so he could be there for their family.
The actor took the concerns seriously and revamped his routine, working out six days a week with cardio and yoga to get back in shape.
Amal also pushed George to cut back on alcohol, at least for Dry January, wanting him to slow down on drinking to protect his health.
Despite some grumbles about missing the odd drink, George is feeling better and looking great, though Amal is keen for him to keep it up.
Their relationship has had its ups and downs, especially with George’s busy acting schedule in his 60s, which has frustrated Amal at times.
She even uprooted their family for his Broadway stint, expecting it to be his final big role, only for him to change his mind about slowing down.
But through it all, the couple remain solid, having met in 2013 and married in 2014 before welcoming twins Ella and Alexander three years later.
With George turning 65, Amal’s health push seems to have made a real difference, keeping the Hollywood star in fighting shape for family and career alike.
