“How did you get through months of quarantine with toddlers in the house?” Stephanopoulos, 59, asked his guest, who shares 3½-year-old twinsElla and Alexanderwith wifeAmal Clooney.
“Well,you know, I drink, mostly, George. I drink,” joked theCasamigosco-founder, laughing. “That’s how you get through it.”
In seriousness, the “tough part” for Clooney is that he “can’t be with my mom and dad and my sister in Kentucky,” he said.
“But here at the house,I’ve got an amazing wifeand two funny knuckleheads that make me laugh, and I get to wake up with them every morning and put them to bed every night,” Clooney added.

Clooney opened up to PEOPLE earlier this monthabout raising his twins, explaining how his life has changed since entering fatherhood in 2017. The Oscar winner also said he’s enjoying watching Ella and Alexander develop distinct personalities.
“You learn so much with twins because you’re raising them both at the same time, born the same day, but you realize how little it has to do with you,” Clooney continued. “They werethe person they were going to be when they were born.”
“Now all your hope is to just kind of guide them along in the right direction,” he added.

During a recent interview withThe Guardian, Clooney shared that his kids have “learned how to get going fast” on their bicycles, but “haven’t learned to use their brakes yet.”
TheO Brother, Where Art Thou?actor later explained that he consciously allows Alexander and Ella to make mistakes so that they have opportunities to grow on their own.
“Put it this way: The idea of them falling is not my favorite thing. And I try togive ‘em enough room to make their mistakes,” said Clooney, later adding that one day, “I hope I will be at a place where I can say, ‘All right. Make your mistakes.’ "
“There’s a lot of things you try not to do that your own parents did. Not because your parents were bad parents, but because you can see the way it has affected you. … You’re trying to break the chain, man,” he said.
