George Clooney made some very rare comments about his twin children who are eight years old.
When at the Tony Awards the 63-year-old said that Ella and Alexander love celebrities, just no one he is familiar with.
And he has a lot of close pals: Brad Pitt, Robert De Niro and Julia Roberts are just a few.
His little ones - whom he shares with wife of 11 years Amal, 47 - tend to like the stars that dad is not friends with.
One of their top idols is the number one pop icon at the moment. 'They want to see Taylor Swift,' said Clooney to E! News.
Swift has currently been taking a break from touring and staying out of the spotlight with boyfriend Travis Kelce, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs.

He also said that they were big fans of Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande in Wicked and are 'looking forward to the second part,' which will be released in theaters on November 21, 2025.
As far as Clooney's inner circle, the tots are not impressed.
'The funniest part is that they have no idea of references. Robert De Niro will be at the house, and they're like, "Who's that?" They don't care,' said the actor.
He also praised his wife, who is a known human rights lawyer, for being such an 'incredible partner' that he is 'lucky' to have.
'I have this incredible partner who I couldn't be more proud of. She's the bravest human being I've ever met in my life. I am deeply proud of her and the fact that she's in any way proud of me, if just, I can't believe how lucky I am,' said Clooney.
He was a hit at the Tonys held at Radio City Music Hall in NYC on June 8.
George dyed his famous salt and pepper locks dark brown back in March for his role as legendary newsman Edward R. Murrow in his Broadway show Good Night And Good Luck.
While the temporary hair might not impressed many, his work in the play certainly did - he was nominated for the Tony for Best Performance By An Actor In A Leading Role In A Play, but the award ultimately went to Cole Escola for his performance in Oh, Mary!

The actor looked in his element as he confidently posed on the red carpet with Amal by his side.
They even showed some PDA with Amal - who has been married to George since 2014 and shares eight-year-old twins Ella and Alexander with him - planting a kiss on him.
It comes after George endured ridicule over his shock hairstyle.
Fans have shared been sharing their disapproval of his new darker hair and orange fake tan, with some admitting it makes him look '20 years older'
Others joked he's put a 'full blown black sharpie on his hair' as they begged for him to wash out the hair dye.
They wrote on X: 'Weird seeing George Clooney once had non-grey hair. I figured he popped out of the womb a silver fox!',
'What in the Sam Hell is that awful dye job on George Clooney? He looks pathetic'.
George himself even admitted during a recent interview on CBS Mornings he knows his hair isn't good and said he still isn't used to the new look himself.
Gayle King said: 'I have to take a moment looking at you with the dark hair.'
'I know it's not good!' George interjected.
Gayle added: 'I didn't say it wasn't good!'
'Oh, It's not good! I'm not used to it, you never get used to it. Listen, I started getting grey when I was 25 so I've been grey most of my life so it's not my favorite look.
'And my wife, she thinks it's funny,' he said, adding their children 'laugh' at his hair.
'Honestly nothing makes you look older than being 63 and dying your hair,' he said.
The play is based on his 2005 film of the same name which he previously wrote, directed and starred in.
In his 2005 film, David Strathairn played the lead role, while George took a supporting role as CBS President Fred Friendly, in addition to working behind the camera.
The movie, which was shot in black-and-white, focused on Murrow's reports on Senator Joseph McCarthy's unfounded claims of communist infiltration in the US government.
This leads to a fiery confrontation between the two men on Murrow's CBS broadcast ahead of the senator's humiliation at the Army–McCarthy hearings and subsequent censure from the Senate.
