George Clooney says he deliberately chose to raise his children far from Hollywood to protect them from the pressures of fame and the culture surrounding it.

In a recent interview with Esquire, the Academy Award-winning actor shared that he and his wife, international human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, are raising their 8-year-old twins, Ella and Alexander, primarily on a farm in France—thousands of miles away from Los Angeles.
