George Clooney Recollects His “Disaster” Proposal to Wife Amal

One particular fantastic day, George Clooney proposed to Amal Clooney—and it failed to go as planned.

The ER actor not too long ago recalled the instant he popped the problem to spouse Amal. But it wasn’t precisely clean sailing. As George place it in an Oct. 21 look on The Drew Barrymore Demonstrate, “It was a disaster.”

As the 61-12 months-previous spelled out, his program of motion was to have Amal uncover the ring at supper when tunes from his aunt Rosemary Clooney performed. As quickly as the tune began, George prompted Amal to reach for a box that contains a lighter to re-light-weight a candle he conveniently blew out.

“I go, ‘I consider there’s a lighter, could re-light-weight the candle…I feel there is certainly a lighter in that minimal box,'” George recalled, “And she pulls this detail out, this minimal drawer, and there is certainly a diamond ring in there.”

So, how did Amal respond? Effectively, for each George’s impact, it didn’t click ideal absent. “She appears at it and she’s like, ‘There’s a ring in there,'” he joked while rolling his eyes. “Like someone left a ring there a long time ago”
