This week the silver fox, who was once one of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelors, chatted to Ellen DeGeneres about the big moment.
“It was one of those funny things,” he said of the human rights lawyer. “From the minute we met we just hit it off. From the minute we met, we sort of felt like we were gonna be together.”
Sadly, George discovered that knowing someone is the one is a lot easier than making them the one!
After just six months of dating Amal Alamuddin, the now 54-year-old knew he wanted to seal the deal.
After just six months, George new he found The One.
“I plotted the whole thing out. I had the ring hidden behind her,” George explained.
“Everything was planned out and I’ve cooked dinner. And she comes in and she’s just come back from London. And usually she’ll dress up, and now she’s like, ‘Maybe we’ll just order in.’ And I go, ‘No, no, no, I’ve made dinner.'”
But it seems like even after spotting a diamond ring, Amal didn’t catch on to what George was trying to do.
“She’s like, ‘It’s a ring.’ Like, as if somebody had left it there some other time. I don’t know. And I’m doing all the moves you can do with my face,” George recalled.
We’re sure George gets teased about the very cute but awkward proposal!
“And I got down on my knee and said, ‘I couldn’t imagine spending the rest of my life without you.’ And she kept looking at the ring, and she was looking at me, and she was like, ‘Oh, my God.’ And we now know, because there was a playlist, how long it actually took, and it was, like, 25 minutes,” he laughed.
“Finally, I literally said, ‘Look, I hope the answer is yes, but I need an answer. I’m 52 and I could throw out my hip pretty soon,'” he continued. “And she said, ‘Oh, yes.’ And it worked out really well.”
The couple exchanged vows at the Aman Canal Grande hotel in Venice, Italy, in September 2014.
And the rest is history!
