Hollywood legend George Clooney says he is stepping away from a familiar part of his screen persona. Clooney said discussions with his wife, Amal Clooney, helped clarify that he no longer wants to appear in on-screen kissing scenes. The 64-year-old actor told the Daily Mail that he has been modeling his thinking on another Hollywood icon. “I’ve been trying to go the route Paul Newman did: ‘OK, well, I’m not kissing a girl anymore,’” he said, adding that his age now ruled out such roles. Clooney and his wife have been married since 2014 and share eight-year-old twins, Ella and Alexander. Reflecting on aging, he said, “When I turned 60, I had a conversation with my wife. I said, ‘Look, I can still play basketball with the boys. I play with 25-year-old guys.’” He added, “‘But in 25 years, I’m 85 years old. It doesn’t matter how many granola bars you eat, that’s a real number.’”
