The premiere of George Clooney’s Broadway play brought out dozens of stars, but one was noticeably absent: Amal Clooney.
The actor shared that his wife could not attend Thursday’s opening of “Good Night, and Good Luck” because she was taking care of their 7-year-old twins, Alexander and Ella.
As he walked the red carpet solo, George, 63, told reporters that Amal, 47, was “with the kids,” according to People.
The Oscar winner, who married the human rights lawyer in 2014, wore a classic black tuxedo with a black bow tie at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York City, sporting darker hair that he dyed for the show.
The play is a theatrical adaptation of 2005 movie of the same name, which George starred in, directed and co-wrote.
He appears in the Broadway show alongside Ilana Glazer, Glenn Fleshler and Clark Gregg, among others.
While Amal was not able to make it, celebrities including Jennifer Lopez, Cindy Crawford and daughter Kaia Gerber, Uma Thurman, Pierce Brosnan and Kylie Minogue were all in attendance.
George’s latest role forced his family to move to Manhattan for the play’s limited run.
“They love being here,” he said on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” in February. “I mean, come on, how do you not love this? It’s New York City.”
The “Ocean’s Eleven” star explained that his “Good Night, and Good Luck” schedule ended up aligning with his children’s.
“Actually, a play is kind of a good schedule because you’re working at night,” he said. “You get to see the kids during the day, so it’s OK.”
The Clooneys have homes all over the world, including in Lake Como, Italy, and Provence, France.
