The striking weight loss of George Clooney has apparently become a cause for concern among his close friends and inner circle. The 62-year-old actor and Hollywood legend has been looking noticeably thin, leading many to speculate whether he’s picking up his wife Amal Clooney’s alleged birdlike eating habits.
During a public appearance with his 45-year-old glamorous lawyer wife at The Prince’s Trust Awards in London on May 16, 2023, onlookers couldn’t help but comment on George’s thinning physique. A concerned source exclusively revealed to Radar Online that the actor’s close friends are worried he’s not taking good care of his health.
George, who was born in 1961 and then started acting in the late 1970s, has always been known for his attractive looks and well-maintained form. However, he may have lost too much weight, leaving him without much muscle mass.
Fans of the actor speculate that George might be under pressure to maintain his weight and match his wife’s slender figure, especially during their numerous glamorous appearances together. The process could be taking a toll on him. The source told the outlet:
“He doesn’t work out and has no muscle to brag about. He must feel a lot of pressure to maintain his weight and keep up with Amal since they make a lot of glam appearances together. The consensus is he needs to bulk up more.”
In 2013, George met Amal, a high-profile British-Lebanese human rights lawyer who is younger than her husband by 17 years. After a whirlwind relationship, they married in Italy in September 2014
Despite their age difference, George said that he and his wife “agree on most things” and hardly have arguments in their relationship. The couple are parents to twins, Alexander and Ella, who were born in June 2017.
Sources, however, disclosed that Amal has an obsession with thinness that might be compromising George’s overall health and well-being.

However, George has experienced significant weight loss before. In 2020, he battled pancreatitis and landed in the hospital, which he attributed to a rapid and extreme diet he adopted for his role in the post-apocalyptic sci-fi drama, “The Midnight Sky.” In the said film, George tackled the role of a cancer-stricken astrophysicist. He admitted at the time that he “wasn’t taking care” of himself, which led to a 30-pound weight loss in a short period. He didn’t have a fitness trainer’s guidance.
“I think I was trying too hard to lose the weight quickly and probably wasn’t taking care of myself,” the actor revealed in an interview with Mirror.
The insider also shed light on his wife’s dietary habits, claiming that Amal is known for eating minimally, with meals consisting of items like hard-boiled eggs for breakfast, soup for lunch, and chickpea salad for dinner. While the source suggested that Amal would look great with some curves, both she and George seem fixated on maintaining an extremely thin appearance.
In 2022, Amal underwent a transformative makeover in an attempt to reignite the spark in their marriage. She got in great shape by working out with a trainer, leaving some hopeful that George would follow suit. However, as per the insider, George has yet to make similar efforts.
As fans and friends express their worries, it remains to be seen whether George will take their concerns to heart and prioritize his health over appearances. While the couple’s public presence continues to shine, the focus on their physical well-being raises questions about the potential risks associated with such extreme dietary habits.
