Here are some photos of Amal Clooney out and about in London on Friday. She flew out of LA shortly after the big Tomorrowland premiere last week, and I guess she needed to check in at her “real” job, although I’m still pretty sketchy on just how many hours she puts in at her law firm. But whatever, those are questions to which we’re never really going to get an answer. I’ve complained about Amal’s street style many times, but I don’t completely hate her look here. Do I personally like the skinny-jeans-booties-and-chunky-sweater look? Not really. But it’s not as crazy as half of her “casual” clothes, so it’s fine. I’m pretty sure she just got a haircut too – her most trusted hair people must be in London, which is just another reason for her to check in at her law firm, I suppose.

In the midst of all of George Clooney’s Tomorrowland press, I actually missed some of the quotes he gave about Amal and their marriage. When he was on The Late Show, he apparently said he met Amal in Como, Italy:

“We met in Lake Como. She was a friend of a friend who came to visit and then I chased her for many months, calling and writing, those kinds of things.”

“I wasn’t looking to get married – and then I met someone who I realised I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I only hoped that she felt the same way. I was very nervous when I asked her to marry me because this wasn’t even something we’d talked about before, so there was a moment where she could have turned around and said, ‘What? Are you crazy? I thought we were just having fun here!’…

“From the moment I met Amal until now, the idea of spending my life with her has been the most important thing for me, and the thing that brings me the most joy in the world. I couldn’t be happier with my life right now. I have a great partner in life, and I didn’t think I was ever going to have that.”

I’m sort of numb from all of the talk about their marriage, but I just want to point out that George’s story of how he met Amal has gotten more consistent as he’s told a few more times. I think we were originally told that they met in London, but back when they were engaged, George was telling people that they “met in Italy.” So… there you go. They met in Como, Italy and he pursued her, probably while he was filming Monuments Men in England. Of course, no one really wants to point out that George was still technically dating Stacy Keibler. Seriously.

Last thing – one of the first things we knew about Amal’s work was that she was one of the lawyers trying to convince the government of Greece to sue the British Museum so that the Greeks could finally retrieve the Elgin Marbles/Parthenon Marbles. Amal submitted her final report to the Greek government last week (advising Greece to take Britain to court at the Hague) and long story short, Greece has rejected Amal’s advice and decided NOT to sue.
