Ammon News - US actor George Clooney, his wife, human rights lawyer Amal and their two children have been awarded French citizenship, the government said.

The family's new citizenship was made public in the Journal Officiel, where French government decrees are published.

Their farm in Brignoles, in the south of France, serves as the family's primary residence. The couple purchased the home in 2021.

Didier Brémond, the city's mayor, told local media that their decision to become French citizens was a testament to "his love for our country".

In addition to their home in France, George Clooney also owns a home in the UK and in Kentucky, where he was born, according to the New York Times.

The Clooneys' twins, Ella and Alexander, were born in London in 2017.

Their mother was born in Lebanon and raised in the UK.

The Journal Officiel shows Amal Clooney was naturalised under her maiden name, Amal Alamuddin.
