George Clooney Finally Watched His 1997 Batman Movie with His Son: ‘Great For 8-Year-Olds’
George Clooney is a hero to his son.
The 64-year-old actor, who shares 8-year-old twins Alexander and Ella with his wife, Amal Clooney, 47, has explained how his boy didn’t have a clue he played the Caped Crusader in 1997’s Batman & Robin.
“Halloween’s a big holiday. My son went as Batman,” the Oscar winner told W Magazine in a story published on Tuesday, January 6.
“He hadn’t seen Batman yet. I always say to him, ‘You know I was Batman.’ He’s always like, ‘No,'” Clooney revealed. “I don’t know that he knew how profound it was when he said I wasn’t Batman. A couple of weeks ago, I finally showed it to him.”
While Clooney’s turn as the dark knight was regarded as a critical flop, Alexander gave it two thumbs up.
“It wasn’t great for grown-ups, but it’s great for 8-year-olds, so he loved it,” the Jay Kelly star said.
In November, Clooney joked his twins will require psychological help just because of that role in particular.
“We know they’re going to be in therapy no matter what, just from Batman & Robin,” he told The Sun. “‘My dad had rubber f**king nipples.’ Disaster.”
