Amal and George Clooney seize guests' mobile devices
In the glamorous world of Hollywood, the Clooneys stand out for their unique approach to hosting parties. The renowned actor, George Clooney, and his wife, Amal Clooney, a British-Lebanese lawyer, have made it a practice to collect the phones of their guests at their parties, creating a phone-free environment that fosters private moments and open discussions.
This innovative approach is a testament to the Clooneys' commitment to their family's privacy and the safety of their children. Amal Clooney, mother to their twins, a boy and a girl born in 2017, has revealed that she uses a "phone basket" to collect guests' phones, allowing for uninterrupted, meaningful conversations without the distraction or intrusion of technology.
The Clooneys' twins are kept out of the public eye, and the couple has never published photos of their children. This decision is part of their broader effort to protect their children from media intrusion, ensuring they grow up in a nurturing and safe environment.
George Clooney, an Oscar-winning actor, and Amal Clooney, a human rights activist, have been married since 2014. Their home often serves as the venue for their extravagant parties, where the ban on phones aims to create a sense of safety and openness for exchanging ideas.
The Clooneys' commitment to privacy is not new; they have been known for their low-key approach to their personal lives. Amal Clooney explained this practice to the magazine "Glamour", emphasising the importance of creating private spaces for family and friends.
The Clooneys are not the only high-profile couple to adopt such measures. By encouraging guests to leave their phones at parties, they join a growing movement that prioritises real-life connections over digital ones, creating an atmosphere of intimacy and honesty that is increasingly rare in today's technology-driven world.
