Some might remember the Hollywood heartthrob as a young handyman in the popular sitcom, The Facts of Life, which ran from 1979-1988. In the more recent past, he can be seen in TV\u2019s ER, and as a leading man in movies like O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000), Ocean\u2019s Eleven (2001) and Ticket to Paradise (2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/08\/05194340\/shutterstock_443007352-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When he met the then-Amal Alamuddin in 2013, a stunning Lebanese-British human rights lawyer, he landed his biggest role as a life partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within only six months of their first date, the pair\u2019s sweeping love story continued with a proposal in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clooney, now 61, said of that moment, \u201cLiterally, I dropped it on her, and she just kept saying, \u2018Oh, my God,\u2019 and \u2018Wow!\u2019 We just sat there, and finally I said, \u2018Listen, I\u2019m 52, and I\u2019ve been on my knee now for about 28 minutes, so I have to get an answer out of this or I\u2019m going to throw a hip out. I might not be able to stand back up!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In September 2014, the couple were married at the luxurious Aman Canal Grande hotel in Venice, Italy, with a star-studded guest list that included Bono, Matt Damon and Bill Murray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/02\/05201355\/GettyImages-866421030.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Tossed into the spotlight the moment she started dating Clooney, Amal became vulnerable to the unfiltered critiques of online trolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amal, now 45, is an internationally renowned lawyer with clients that include WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, and Yulia Tymoshenko, the former prime minister of Ukraine who supported her country\u2019s integration into the European Union. In 2019, she also represented the United Nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overlooking her successes in favor of her fashion and physique, social media users lash out at the beauty, calling her \u201cugly\u201d and a \u201cgawky gargoyle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am completely baffled at the fact that when George Clooney finally decides to settle down he picks Amal Clooney, who looks like an ugly man,\u201d one Twitter user wrote in January 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In September of the same year, ELLE Magazine posted a link on Twitter to the article 54 Times Amal Clooney Looked Just Stunning. Readers chimed in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One person said, \u201cShe\u2019s lovely but she has sticky icky skinny legs, shapeless sticks,\u201d while another wrote \u201cSo so thin too too thin boney old thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.ebs.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/03\/george-and-amal1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, another defended the lawyer and added, \u201cAmal Clooney is an intelligent &amp; accomplished lawyer!!

When people criticize journalism that focuses on the wrong issues, that\u2019s heartening and that shows that people expect more from their press.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BxNydlPBREh\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

In the article, Amal Clooney Won\u2019t Back Down, Amal says about her increased celebrity and criticism:<br>\u201cIn terms of an increased public profile, I think all I can do is try to turn the spotlight to what is important. That can benefit some clients. If I am at a work function and reporting of it focuses on irrelevant issues, there\u2019s not much I can do about that.
