George and Amal Clooney have never had an argument
George Clooney and his wife have never had an argument.
The 63-year-old actor feels "extraordinary lucky" to have met his spouse Amal - who he married in 2014 after just over a year of dating - because they are having a "really great time in life" and always get along really well.
Speaking to 'CBS Mornings' host Gayle King, George said: "I remember we were here with you once before, and I remember we said we'd never had an argument. We still haven't. We're trying to find something to fight about!
"I feel so extraordinarily lucky to have met this incredible woman. I feel as if I hit the jackpot. There isn't a day that goes by where I don't think I'm the luckiest man in the world. So it's great."
The couple are parents to seven-year-old twins Alexander and Ella and the 'Up in the Air' actor loves being in their company.
He said: "Our kids are seven, about to be eight, which is a pretty great age. They're really curious and funny. Every parent thinks their kids are great — our kids are funny and make us laugh."
George had made his point about never arguing when he and Amal appeared on 'CBS Mornings' back in September 2022.
Insisting maintaining their marriage is "easy", he said at the time: "Like, the easiest thing in our lives by far. We've never had an argument."
Amal agreed: "It's maddening to some of our friends. I have a cousin, actually, every time we see him he's like, his first question is, 'So have you had an argument yet?' before he says hello."
Gayle replied: "Seriously? You've never had an argument?"
George quipped: "Would you like us to right now? Would that make feel better?"
And amid the COVID-19 pandemic in December 2020, the former 'E.R.' actor admitted he felt "very lucky" that being in lockdown hadn't really "tested" his marriage.
He said: "I feel very lucky in so many ways to have met her. We haven't ever had an argument. You know, everybody's been slammed together because of the coronavirus and a lot of friends' relationships have been tested. For us, it's been really easy."

George Takei says coming out was 'liberating'
George Takei found coming out to be "liberating". The 88-year-old actor came out as gay two decades ago, when he was 68, and George now admits that it was a freeing experience. The former Star Trek actor told USA Today: "It feels very liberating. "I don't have to be on my guard, kind of mentally fencing and saying what I want to say but without giving myself away. I developed that skill, but now I don't need to. I can be candid and forthright." George had actually been with Brad Altman - whom he married in 2008 - for two decades before he came out. However, the decision to discuss his sexuality publicly helped to lift a weight off his shoulders. He shared: "Here I am protecting my job, my career, what I want to do, while others who had the same difference that I did were sacrificing all that and actively engaging with the larger society and making progress." George and Brad are contrasting personalities, but their relationship has stood the test of time. The actor explained: "Brad is a strict disciplinarian. Brad is detail-oriented and he's organised and he brings that detail and organisation to my life so that I can do what I do. "We understand each other." Meanwhile, George claimed in 2022 that "issues still remain" for LGBTQ actors in Hollywood. The veteran actor observed that there's been some "amazing progress" in terms of representation and acceptance in the movie industry, but George thinks there's still a lot of work that needs to be done. He told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "There's no denying we have made amazing progress in terms of telling the LGBTQ story and having LGBTQ performers now acting and maintaining a career. "But … there's always that 'but', in Hollywood and in America. Issues still remain." George likened hiding his sexuality to a form of "torture". He explained: 'It was torture being closeted, because my instinct was to speak out." George also admitted that the sense of guilt gnawed away at him for years. The actor - who played Hikaru Sulu in the Star Trek franchise - said: "I felt an immense sense of guilt in not standing up."

Amazon doco 'cathartic' for CA after Sandpapergate
The door remains ajar for another season of the hit series, The Test, that Prime Video believes was "cathartic" for Cricket Australia following Sandpapergate. Launching amid the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, The Test gave viewers a raw, behind-the-scenes glimpse into the Australian men's cricket team's road to redemption. The previous season was released in 2024, focusing on the eventful 2023 Ashes showdown in England. Prime Video have "nothing to announce" about a potential season four, but The Test remains a much-loved program of their stable of original content. The first season was all about Australia attempting to recover from the 2018 ball-tampering scandal that rocked cricket. Justin Langer was installed as the new coach, while star batters Steve Smith and David Warner served one-year bans until returning for the 2019 ODI World Cup. "It was almost cathartic, I think, for Cricket Australia, and we were privileged to be able to capture that within the documentary, and offer it to the public," Prime Video Sport's managing director Alex Green told AAP. "It was just one of those fortuitous moments when I think the sport (and CA), as well as we wanted to bring something that was a big change in the way cricket, and perhaps sport, generally, had been watched before." Since launching The Test, Prime Video won the rights to broadcast all ICC events into Australia until 2027. The World Test Championship final between Australia and South Africa, starting at Lord's on Wednesday, will be shown exclusively on Prime Video in Australia. When the deal was announced, it was a dramatic change to how viewers had experienced world cups and international tournaments. "We've faced this multiple times," Green said of the public reaction to watching sport on a service that wasn't free-to-air or traditional pay-TV. "For the very first Premier League (EPL) deal, we were then going to be the third broadcaster of Premier League in the UK. "In reality, because the reach of Amazon Prime is so vast, it's on the way to being free-to-air. "We don't see ourselves, and generally, the public don't see us as another sports subscription service, we're something much wider than that." Amazon have also been linked to the NRL, with Australian Rugby League Commission Peter V'landys currently negotiating the next broadcast deal. When the AFL's last TV contract was struck back in 2022, Prime Video were also reported as being interested in the rights. "We don't speculate on specific future rights," Prime Video's Australia and New Zealand head of content Alexandra Gilbert told AAP. "We're building that groundswell around cricket, and then NBA, so that's where we're focused now. "We're always assessing opportunities to add value for Prime members. "Absolutely we'd love to do another version of The Test, whether it's with a different sport, or something that resonates strongly, but what that is is sort of TBD (to-be-determined)." The AFL documentary, Making Their Mark, which followed some players, coaches and administrators during the COVID-affected 2020 season was also a Prime Video original. This AAP article was made possible by support from Amazon Prime Video, which is broadcasting the World Test Championship final.
