LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The 62-year-old American actor, screenwriter, producer, and director George Clooney has achieved a lot including accolades like Golden Globe and Academy Awards. It goes without saying that Clooney is well-known for his acting, as well as his directing and screenplay work today. However, the Kentucky native has gained notoriety for his attractiveness ever since he began acting in the 1990s.

Clooney has put a lot of effort into developing a trim and fit body. He had to work his way up, which required putting in a lot of time at the gym and then adhering to a rigorous diet. But lately, Clooney has been appearing downright skinny, and Radar Online can clarify that the friends of the legendary actor worry that he may be adopting his slender wife's minimal eating habits.

'How thin George has gotten'

The handsome celebrity has always been able to grab the attention of devoted admirers while rocking gray hair and a beard. However, when the 62-year-old celebrity and his stunning lawyer wife, Amal, 45, visited the Prince's Trust Awards in London on May 16, surprised spectators commented on his thin appearance. "People were commenting on how thin George has gotten," a visitor reported. "His friends worry he's not taking proper care of himself."

The source added, "He doesn't work out and has no muscle to brag about. He must feel a lot of pressure to maintain his weight and keep up with Amal since they make a lot of glam appearances together. The consensus is he needs to bulk up more." However, this is not the first time George has lost a significant amount of weight.

'I was trying too hard to lose the weight quickly'

Due to pancreatitis, Clooney was hospitalized in 2020 and lost 30 pounds "too fast" for his role in his movie, 'The Midnight Sky'. The veteran actor, who also served as the film's director, admitted at the time that although he was losing weight, he "wasn’t taking care" of himself.

Clooney revealed that he was admitted to the hospital four days before he was supposed to start working on the sci-fi drama movie while he was promoting it. In an interview with The Mirror, the two-time Oscar winner said, "I think I was trying too hard to lose the weight quickly and probably wasn’t taking care of myself. It took a few weeks to get better and as a director, it’s not so easy because you need energy. We were out on this glacier in Finland, which made it a lot harder work. But it certainly helped with the character."

'Amal's known for eating the bare minimum'

The source added that the aging Hollywood star and his human rights attorney wife are both preoccupied with looking as skinny as possible. "Amal's known for eating the bare minimum — maybe hard-boiled egg for breakfast soup for lunch and chickpea salad for dinner." According to the insider, Amal would look fantastic with her curves, but they both appear to be locked in their comfort zones. "She got in great shape and was working out with a trainer, and it seemed like George might follow her lead — but that hasn't happened," the source shrieked.

George and Amal met in 2013 and got married in 2014. They are parents to twins Alexander and Ella.
