Amal and George Clooney’s twins make their TV debut (sort of)

And wait till you hear what George had to say about nappy duty.

They are the no doubt adorable tots the whole world is waiting to get a glimpse of.

And earlier this week new dad George Clooeny nearly had us all on the edges of our seats when he made a visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live! and asked the studio audience if they would like to meet his bundles of joy, little Ella and Alexander Clooney.

However, it looks like George had us all fooled.

When everyone (in studio and at home) breathlessly answerd”yes!” (of course), out strolled Clooney’s good pal Matt Damon – pushing a double stroller and sporting a nappy bag and spit up cloth on his shoulders.

“He’s my manny,” George explained, with Matt clarifying, “I’m his manny. It’s a nanny who’s a man.”

Damon and Kimmel are known to be faux nemesis, which made the encounter even funnier.

 

For instance, the late night host poked fun at Damon’s body saying, “So based on your physique I guess you’re breastfeeding the children too?” However, not one to be out in his place, Matt shot back, “No, no, I actually just wanted them to get their nap, so I brought them to a place where they wouldn’t be woken up by laughter.”

Unfortunately, when George eventually asked his “manny” to reveal his twins to the crowd, Matt then picked up a pink and grey blanket from inside the stroller carriages before dropping the “babies” and flipping Jimmy his two middle fingers. “There they are right there,” Matt exclaimed. “This is screw and this is you. Screw you!” After his friend was escorted off stage, George told Jimmy, “He’s just very good with the kids.

But while he did not actually reveal his babies to the world, 56-year-old George more than willingly dished on how he is finding parenting, admitting that while his wife Amal is a natural, he was ‘afraid of breaking them’ because they are so little. As for nappy duties, the new dad said he has been up for it up until now, but that their latest milestone might have put a stop to that.

“I changed diapers until yesterday. I was good at it,” George shared. “I flipped them over, I don’t care. It’s like cleaning up your dog’s poop. It’s not that big a deal. Then we introduced the children to solid food on Friday and how that goes in as a carrot and how it comes out the way it comes out is shocking.”
