George Clooney: UN Messenger of Peace
There’s nothing like proud parents doting on their children. And that’s just what was going on last night with the Clooney family, who were spotted out in New York City.
George and his parents were seen grabbing dinner after his big day at the United Nations as a messenger of peace. And from the huge smiles on his mother and father’s faces, it was clear that they’re extremely proud of their son.
Earlier in the day, the “Ocean’s Thirteen” stud was all about business, though. He took a tour of the UN Headquarters and took part in a ceremony in which he received a new pin, marking his designationg for the special job by Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
George graciously addressed the room, “I am very proud to be here as a messenger of peace, and the message is: That the world is watching, and that at this point we cannot afford to fail. There’s a lot more responsibility with this one than with an Oscar, which all you really have to do is, you know, drink after the party.”
And Clooney stated that he’s up for the challenge, given his upbringing. “I am the son of a newsman, so the job of messenger comes with the responsibility to deal with facts, not to tell people what they want to hear, but to tell them what the truth is, unfiltered.”
Enjoy the pictures of George out to eat with his parents and at the UN (January 31).
