On September 2, George picked up the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the festival, and made a powerful speech as he accepted the award\u2014including a shoutout to Amal, a human rights attorney. In his speech, he spoke of working on bringing attention to the 2003 genocide in Darfur, Sudan, and that he “tried to make it very loud for a long time\u2026And then, 20 years later, my wife finally puts some of these guys on trial and gets them thrown in jail.”<\/p>\n

“By the way, my wife’s the only person to have ever put ISIS on trial and won,” George said, to thunderous applause (per The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>). “She’s a badass, and she gets the job done.”<\/p>\n

George and Amal, who share 9-year-old twins Ella and Alexander, have a special affinity for Venice\u2014it’s where they married 12 years ago in 2014. “We have a normal family life, and there’s a lot of laughing and a lot of love, and we’re very lucky, and we’re really aware of that,” George said.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, George said (per People<\/a>), “I am at a loss for words to describe how much I love my wife. How proud I am of her.” Of their plans while in Venice, the Jay Kelly star said, “We’re going to go out to dinner, and this is a town where you take a boat underneath some little tiny arches and suddenly you’re in the middle of a restaurant that has four tables, and the guy who runs it comes out and sits with you.”<\/p>\n

“It’s just a really optimistic, beautiful place,” George added of Venice<\/a>. “We’re going to go find a fun place to have dinner, my wife and I. She’s going to be wearing a very nice dress, so we’ll have to be careful where we go.”<\/p>\n

George has gushed about Amal over the years\u2014and rightfully so\u2014telling Entertainment Tonight<\/a>, “She’s an amazing human being and she’s caring. And she also happens to be one of the smarter people I’ve ever met. And she’s got a great sense of humor.”<\/p>\n

George\u2014who once declared himself a lifelong bachelor\u2014told CBS News<\/a> that everything changed when he met Amal. “Well, honestly, the truth is, I met this incredible woman,” he said. “You know, Amal is the most extraordinary human I’ve ever met. She’s brilliant and stands for things that matter.”<\/p>\n

“She is a force for good,” he continued. “And she’s also beautiful and funny and has the greatest sense of humor and is the most extraordinary mother. So I cannot tell you how lucky I feel every day.”<\/p>\n
