George Clooney and Amal hold hands at 2026 Golden Globes as they make US return after becoming French citizens

George Clooney and his gorgeous wife Amal have made their glamorous arrival to the 2026 Golden Globes. 

The power couple, who recently were in the South of France, made their grand entrance to the Beverly Hills ceremony on Sunday - weeks after it emerged they had become French citizens. 

George was a vision of classic Hollywood in a black tuxedo with bow tie and glossy footwear while his spouse exuded glamour in a fiery red dress. 

Amal's fire red dress wrapped around her slender figure in elegant fashion and skimmed the floor. She carried a matching clutch.  

It comes about two weeks after longtime Democrat George, 64, and his British-Lebanese wife, Amal, 47, joined their eight-year-old twins, Alexander and Ella, in receiving French passports, according to an official decree published in Paris. 

In 2021, the couple, who wed in 2014, purchased a home in the South of France, before splashing out £6.7million ($9million) on an even bigger property near Cannes last year. 

George, a leading financial donor to the Democrats, is largely credited with being the nail in the coffin for Joe Biden's decision to drop his re-election bid.

The Oscar-winner penned an op-ed in the New York Times last July calling on the party to find someone new to put on the presidential ticket.

He and Amal have a long attachment to Europe, owning a manor in Berkshire, UK, as well as an estate on Lake Como, Italy.

The birth of their children in June 2017 was announced by George on French TV, and he has frequently stated that he admires the country’s privacy laws.

He told French radio in December: ‘I love the French culture, your language, even if I'm still bad at it after 400 days of courses. 

‘Here, they don't take photos of kids. There aren't any paparazzi hidden at the school gates. That's number one for us.’

The couple downgraded their 25-bedroom Italian house with a tennis court on Lake Como to a 'holiday home' after purchasing the wine estate, Domaine du Canadel, near the village of Brignoles, in the South of France.

It comes with 425 acres, including an olive grove, vineyard, tennis court and boules pitch. And it seems the peace and privacy that comes with all that space has made it their favourite place in the world.

George is friendly with the local mayor, Didier Bremond, and last year recorded a New Year message for the people of Brignoles which began: 'Bonjour, Didier!'

It continued: 'First of all, I would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year. I hope each of you had a wonderful holiday season. We want to thank all of you, because we love spending time in the Var and in Brignoles. And we are very grateful for your hospitality and for the friendship that Didier shows us.'

The couple's vast property empire also includes homes in Kentucky and New York City.
