Clooney’s wife, Amal, wasn’t there, but for a very relatable reason. On the carpet, Clooney told reporters that his wife was missing out because “she’s with the kids.” The couple shares 7-year-old twins, Alexander and Ella. The actor’s foray into Broadway was much anticipated, however it did come with some challenges. During an appearance on the March 23 episode of 60 Minutes to discuss portraying Murrow, Clooney cited having to smoke so many prop cigarettes as a major hurdle for him to overcome in rehearsals, noting that many of his family members have died of lung cancer over the years.
