According to a source speaking to New York Post’s Page Six, when the couple recently boarded a flight to the UK, where they are currently based, they planned ahead for any disruption to other passengers, choosing to hand out noise-cancelling headphones to their fellow first-class travellers before take-off.
You know, just in case little Ella or Alexander decided to have a little cry…
‘On a trip home to the UK with his twins, [the couple] gave all the first-class passengers noise-cancelling headphones,’ the source revealed to the paper.
The headphones, which were branded with the logo for tequila brand Casamigos, which Clooney co-founded with Rande Gerber, and came with a note ‘apologizing ahead of time’ should the twins cry.
‘Even Quentin Tarantino, who was on board, wore the headphones,’ the source added, though apparently the Clooney twins ‘didn’t make a peep’ during the flight.
George and Amal welcomed the twins in June this year. At the time, a representative for the couple confirmed the news to Page Six in a statement revealing ‘This morning Amal and George welcomed Ella and Alexander Clooney into their lives. Ella, Alexander and Amal are all healthy, happy and doing fine.’
‘George is sedated and should recover in a few days,’ the rep jokingly added.
In a joint interview with the Hollywood Reporter in September, George revealed that, having previously assumed he didn’t want to have children, his views on prospective fatherhood changed after marriage. “We’d gotten very lucky, both of us, and we should share whatever good luck we’ve got.
I would seem self-centered to just have that belong to us,” he told the magazine.
