FROM RED CARPETS TO GREEN PASTURES – GEORGE CLOONEY IS THE LATEST STAR TO EMBRACE FARM LIFE!
IN AN INTERVIEW WITH THE NEW YORK TIMES – CLOONEY REVEALS WHERE HE’S SPENDING MOST OF HIS TIME THESE DAYS. WHILE HE, HIS WIFE – AMAL – AND THEIR TWIN CHILDREN HAVE HOMES IN ENGLAND AND KENTUCKY, THEIR MAIN RESIDENCE IS A FARM IN FRANCE. CLOONEY SAYS GROWING UP IN KENTUCKY, HE WANTED TO GET AWAY FROM THE FARM LIFE, BUT NOW – IT’S HIS BEST CHANCE AT A NORMAL LIFE. HE EVEN MENTIONS HE DRIVES A TRACTOR.
CLOONEY JOINS OTHER CELEBRITIES TAPPING INTO FARM LIFE, INCLUDING BLAKE SHELTON AND GWEN STEFANI, WHO HAVE A RANCH IN OKLAHOMA. IN A NYLON INTERVIEW LAST YEAR, STEFANI REVEALS SHE ENJOYS GROWING PRODUCE ON A LARGE SCALE, LIKE CORN AND BEANS – AND SHE TOO HAS A TRACTOR. STEFANI AND SHELTON EVEN TIED THE KNOT A FEW YEARS AGO IN A BACKYARD CHAPEL ON THEIR RANCH.

AS FOR WHAT’S NEXT FOR CLOONEY? BROADWAY – WHERE HE’LL BE PLAYING A ROLE THAT REQUIRES HIM TO COVER UP HIS SIGNATURE SALT AND PEPPER HAIR. HE SAYS HE’S ALREADY PREPARED FOR THE LAUGHTER HE’LL GET FROM HIS KIDS WITH HIS NEW LOOK.
