George Clooney Didn't Think He Had 'Much of a Chance' with Wife Amal Due to 17-Year Age Difference

George Clooney recalled meeting now-wife Amal Clooney and how he 'didn’t really think I’d have much of a chance with her because I was 17 years older and she seemed to have everything she needed.'

When they first met in 2013, he told the Times, she "walked in" and "I was like, ‘Oh my God!’ " He added, "Then I didn’t really think I’d have much of a chance with her because I was 17 years older and she seemed to have everything she needed." Then she sent some pictures from when she was here, and we were writing each other, emailing, talking, mostly about what was going on in each other’s lives, and over a period of time it became clear we were more than just friends." Amal told Vogue in 2018 that falling in love with George "felt like the most natural thing in the world."
