Concerns Over George Clooney's Health: Friends Note Diminishing Physique
Close friends are growing increasingly concerned about George Clooney's waning physique, suspecting he may be adopting the minimalist eating habits of his slender wife, Amal Clooney, The National ENQUIRER reports. The 62-year-old actor's notably thinner appearance caught the eye of many when he and his 45-year-old wife, a high-profile lawyer, attended The Prince's Trust Awards in London on May 16.
"Remarks were being passed about George's diminishing frame," reveals an insider. "His friends are concerned that he may be neglecting his own health.
"He doesn't seem to be exercising, and his muscle tone is almost non-existent. There must be considerable pressure on him to stay trim to complement Amal, given their frequent high-profile appearances together.
"There's a general agreement among friends that he needs to gain some weight."
George Clooney's significant weight loss isn't a new development.
In 2020, he was diagnosed with pancreatitis, which he suspected was a result of his drastic dieting regimen ahead of his role in the post-apocalyptic sci-fi drama, 'The Midnight Sky.' "I believe I was pushing too hard to lose weight rapidly and perhaps neglecting my well-being," the actor acknowledged at the time.
According to the source, "After his health scare, he seemed to be more cautious about his self-care. But that carefulness seems to have dissipated now."
The enduring Hollywood icon and his wife, renowned for her work in human rights law, both seem committed to maintaining svelte figures, the source elaborates. "Amal is known for her sparse diet — perhaps a hard-boiled egg for breakfast, soup for lunch, and a chicken and chickpea salad for dinner."
The insider suggests that Amal "would look fantastic with a bit more body, but they both seem committed to their lean lifestyle."
It was reported last year that Amal underwent a glamorous makeover in an effort to rekindle the flame in their relationship.
"She got into excellent shape and began working with a personal trainer. It seemed like George might follow suit — but that doesn't seem to have materialized," the source discloses.
