'Suddenly, you're responsible for other people': George Clooney, 56, talks 'terrifying' fatherhood and how his life has changed since welcoming twins with wife Amal
Life has changed dramatically over the past year for George Clooney who welcomed twins with wife Amal in June.
In a new interview with The Associated Press, the 56-year-old Oceans Eleven actor admits he never dreamed he'd be looking after two infants at his age.
'Suddenly, you're responsible for other people, which is terrifying,' he joked before crediting his 39-year-old wife, 'She's like an Olympic athlete, she's doing so beautifully.'

'Right now my job is changing diapers and walking them around a little bit,' said Clooney, who conducted the interview from his home in Lake Como, Italy.
'I really didn't think at 56 that I would be the parent of twins. Don't make plans. You always have to just enjoy the ride.' he mused.
Clooney is currently preparing for the October premiere of his new thriller Suburbicon which he is directing, which stars Julianne Moore, Matt Damon and Oscar Isaac.
'She's like an Olympic athlete,' Clooney said of his 39-year-old wife 'She's doing so beautifully.'
'I just have to clean the barf off of my tux,' he joked. 'It used to be my barf but now it's the twins' barf. So it all works out.'
Suburbicon peers into the dark racial tensions of 1950s suburbia, which the actor believes is deeply relevant to Donald Trump's America.
'It's a pretty angry film. There's a lot of anger out there. I think that's reflected in the film.
'I found it interesting to talk about building walls and scapegoating minorities,' Clooney said. 'I think that's always an interesting topic but particularly when I was hearing these conversations on the campaign trail. I thought: It's always good to look back and remember that nothing really is new and every time we're shocked, we forget that we've had this behavior time and time and time again.'
The couple - who married in September 2014 - are seen in London in February before the arrival of their twins
Wrap up in a khaki coat like Amal Clooney in Valentino
We hate to break it to you but it's almost autumn which means it's time to start thinking about our AW17 wardrobes.
Top of our list is always a new coat and our current inspiration is Amal Clooney who was spotted earlier this year rocking this Valentino khaki embellished one.
A fresh alternative to ubiquitous black but just as versatile, a khaki coat is a great choice of topper this season!

With picks from Asos, Topshop and Missguided it couldn't be easier to stay snug and stylish this autumn.
Reflecting on America's new leader, Clooney didn't hold back.
'It becomes increasingly clear how in over his head and incapable this man is of being president of the United States,' he said. 'The good news is that our other institutions — meaning press, finally, and judges and senators — have proven that the country works. There is a check and balance.'
George and human rights lawyer Amal are parents to daughter Ella and son Alexander.
The couple met at a charity fundraiser in 2013 and married in September 2014 in Venice.
