“Right now with my kids, because I have no breasts, I don’t exist,” Clooney jokes to PEOPLE.
Clooney discussed the new role in his life and admited: “It’s something I never thought I would be doing. All my friends are laughing at me and they think it’s funny — I get it. Fair enough, I gave them a hard enough time.”
He says he’s facing the same challenges as any parent to make sure his kids are “decent human beings” and stay “happy and safe.”
“Nothing’s different. Just because you happen to have been born into a sort of lucky situation in many ways, certainly not into poverty and into some place of luxury, you want to make sure they’re empathetic and compassionate. That they learn all the things I was taught as a young man,” he ads.
“I think that’s going to be a challenge, to constantly remind our kids that being born in one place doesn’t give you the right to just ignore everyone else’s difficulties,” Clooney says.
