George Clooney is reuniting with his Irish relatives!
The actor and his wife, international human-rights lawyer Amal Clooney, flew to Ireland this weekend to enjoy their Easter break, the Irish Independent reported.
Their trip was reportedly part of a family reunion planned by the two-time Oscar winner’s parents, Nick, 85, and Nina, 80, who flew into Ireland earlier that week.
“The first thing he said when he arrived was, ‘The Irish Clooneys are doing okay.’ He’s an absolute gentleman,” Clooney’s cousin, Andy Ring, told the Independent, which also reported that Clooney dined with Bono at Dublin’s Coppinger Row during his stay.

A new documentary which explores President Barack Obama’s Irish roots will be screened at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival. “Barack Obama’s Irish Roots” is a 90-minute film which charts the 8,000 journey of Obama’s ancestors from County Offaly to Hawaii, via Maryland, Indiana and Kansas. Created by Irish filmmaker Gabriel Murray and produced by Don McGuiness, the film has secured a worldwide distribution deal with the U.S distributor who hopes to market the film to the Irish Diaspora. "This is a simple story of how one Irish family emigrated to America -- one of millions but an Irish family related to the most powerful man now in the western world. I wanted to find out what caused this family to leave Ireland and what drove them to trek across America," Murray told the Irish Independent. Along with interviews and archived photographs, the documentary includes re-enactments of important moments in the U.
