A private jet to a tropical island for a candlelit dinner under the stars?
Or maybe a trick trip to Paris to take in an opera, a Michelin-starred meal, then a night in a seven-star hotel perhaps?
You’re not even close if you think those were either of the options Amal and George Clooney opted for to celebrate their second anniversary as a married couple on September 27.
George, 55, admitted to Entertainment Tonight that he simply treated Amal to a home-cooked meal!
“I made dinner and we had a very romantic second anniversary. Very civilised.”
“We mostly drank,” he added with his trademark smirk.
However, George admitted his spouse isn’t always a fan of his cooking.
He told E! News: “I don’t think she’s ever quite impressed with my cooking.
“If I slap something together – spaghetti and meatballs – she doesn’t know that it comes in a jar, so I can just fool her with that one.”
Before marrying Amal, the Monuments Men star – who was previously married to actress Talia Balsam – had vowed never to wed again and he poked fun at his previous reputation as a ladies’ man when discussing his marriage.
He quipped: “And they said it wouldn’t last. Ah, we proved them wrong!”
George also praised his “heroic” wife for her work as a human rights lawyer, pointing to her representation of a young woman, Nadia, who was sold as a slave to terrorist organisation ISIS, as an example of how she defies “risk” to represent cases she believes in.
He said: “Of course I’m proud of her. Yeah, it comes with risk.
“You spend an afternoon with that young woman [Nadia], there’s no way you couldn’t stand up for her. She’s so brave. She’s the one who’s the bravest because she’s in the most dangerous [situation].
“I think Amal’s decision to [represent her] was, of course, heroic.”
Last year, George and Amal celebrated their first anniversary with a low-key dinner at the Sunset Tower Hotel’s Tower Bar in West Hollywood, and the Ocean’s 11 star admitted he hadn’t wanted to go all out for the occasion as he intended to make more elaborate plans as time went on.
