George Clooney and Family Granted French Citizenship

George Clooney and Amal Clooney have officially gained French citizenship along with their eight-year-old twins following a naturalization decree. The couple established their primary residence at Domaine du Canadel, an $8.3 million vineyard estate in Brignoles, to provide their children a life away from Hollywood paparazzi. Clooney cited strict privacy laws as a key factor for the move, which has also inspired filmmaker Jim Jarmusch to seek citizenship to escape American culture.
