George Clooney Remembers His “Catastrophe” Proposal to Spouse Amal

One high quality day, George Clooney proposed to Amal Clooney—and it did not go as deliberate.

The ER actor not too long ago recalled the second he popped the query to spouse Amal. However it wasn’t precisely easy crusing. As George put it in an Oct. 21 look on The Drew Barrymore Present, “It was a catastrophe.”

Because the 61-year-old defined, his plan of motion was to have Amal uncover the ring at dinner whereas music from his aunt Rosemary Clooney performed. As quickly because the tune started, George prompted Amal to succeed in for a field containing a lighter to re-ignite a candle he conveniently blew out.

“I am going, ‘I feel there is a lighter, might re-ignite the candle…I feel there is a lighter in that little field,'” George recalled, “And he or she pulls this factor out, this little drawer, and there is a diamond ring in there.”

So, how did Amal react? Effectively, per George’s impression, it did not click on instantly. “She seems to be at it and he or she’s like, ‘There is a ring in there,'” he joked whereas rolling his eyes. “Like someone left a hoop there years in the past”
