The Truth About Amal's Strange Marriage Has Finally Become Clear

Legendary long-time Hollywood bachelor George Clooney swore he'd never marry again. Then Amal Alamuddin waltzed into his world and threw the actor, and everyone else in Tinseltown, for a loop. The couple happily tied the knot in 2014, but here's what's really going on between these two. George is no stranger to politics, and being a humanitarian, he's aligned himself with initiatives connected to American presidents past and present. Meanwhile, Amal is a British-Lebanese lawyer and human rights activist, often representing high-profile clients affiliated with government entities, including controversial Wikileaks' founder Julian Assange and former Ukranian Prime Minister, Yulia Tymoshenko. In 2014, Amal was appointed to the UK Attorney General's international law panel. And both George and Amal even had face time with former President Barack Obama. The A-list actor has even hooked up with Obama privately to shoot hoops. Sounds like these two might have some political sway behind the scenes.
