George Clooney asks the press to stop publishing photos of his children

George Clooney has reached the end of his patience with the tabloids. The actor, annoyed that the press continues, despite his requests, to disseminate photos of his children Ella and Alexander, wrote an open letter to Daily Mail to ask the publication to end this invasion of her privacy. The star of Ocean’s Eleven take advantage of the fact that the daily has agreed to remove photos of Billie Lourd’s daughter to demand that the same be done for her children.

“I am a public figure and accept often intrusive photos as part of the price to pay for doing my job. Our children did not make such a commitment. The nature of my wife’s work leads her to confront and judge terrorist groups and we take every precaution possible to ensure the safety of our family. We cannot protect our children if any publication puts their face on the cover, ”writes the star in the mail relayed by The Hollywood Reporter.

Real consequences

George Clooney has an unfortunate record with the Daily Mail. In 2014, when the newspaper spread false information about the mother of his wife Amal (who would have opposed their marriage, according to an article), the actor refused the apologies of those responsible and called the newspaper “the worst kind.” tabloid ”. This time, he clearly weighs the physical integrity of his children in the balance.

“We have never sold a picture of our children, we are not present on social networks and we never publish pictures because it would put their lives in danger. Not a paranoid endangerment, but real problems, with real consequences. We hope you will agree that the need to sell advertising is no more important than the need to prevent innocent children from being targeted, ”he added.

the Daily Mail has not yet responded to this request from the star.
