We can’t quite believe that it’s been two years since George Clooney hung up his bachelor hat for good, but the actor and his wife Amal have just celebrated their second anniversary – and probably not how you’d imagine.
The high-flying couple shunned fancy restaurants and overseas trips in favour of something far more down to earth.
The actor told E! News that he cooked a romantic dinner for his wife on the day of their anniversary; September 27.
“It’s very big news. Very, very big celebration – fireworks,” he joked, before admitting, “Okay, I made dinner.”
But before you go thinking that he’s the perfect man, George admitted he doesn’t always nail it when he’s in the kitchen.
“I don’t think she’s ever quite impressed with my cooking,” he said. “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.”

In another chat with ET, George shed more light on their big milestone. “And they said it wouldn’t last. Ah, we proved them wrong,” he teased.
“We mostly drank. I made dinner and we had a very romantic second anniversary. Very civilised.”
George, who for many years was the first to admit that he never intended to marry again, broke hearts the world over when his engagement to the human rights lawyer was announced.
George and Amal make the perfect couple.
But one look at the happy couple and it’s easy to see how much they adore each other.
He recently spoke candidly about his respect for his hard-working wife, saying: “Of course I’m proud of her. Yeah, it comes with risk. I think Amal’s decision to [represent Nadia, a woman who was sold as a slave to ISIS] was, of course, heroic.”
WATCH: Amal recently spoke of the challenges and benefits fame has had on her well-established career.
