Matt Damon Almost Cried When George Clooney Revealed Baby News

Now that we've had a day to let the news soak in that George and Amal Clooney are expecting twins, the celebrities are in full force with their reactions to the baby news. 

 Clooney's long-time friend, Matt Damon actually found out about the pregnancy long before it hit the media and he almost cried tears of joy.

“I was working with him last fall and he pulled me aside on set and I mean, I almost started crying. I was so happy for him,” the star told Entertainment Tonight Canada.

“And I was like, ‘How far along is she?’ And he goes, ‘Eight weeks.’”

However, Damon was quick to confirm to Clooney that he was a superstitious person.

“‘Are you out of your mind?! Don’t tell anybody else! Don’t tell anybody else! Don’t you know the 12-week rule?’ Like of course he doesn’t.”

He continued, “‘Just shut up, man.’ And then four weeks later, I’m like, ‘We’re good right?’” Clooney answered, “We’re good.”

Clooney revealing the news to Matt so quickly showed just how happy he was to be welcoming twins into the world.

 Despite Matt worrying about superstition, he was quick to point out that he was super happy for his friend.

“So yeah, I’m thrilled for him. She’s amazing. He hit the jackpot. Just on every level. She is a remarkable woman."

"They’re gonna be great. They’re gonna be awesome parents. Those kids are lucky,” he added.

George and Amal tied the knot in September 2014 in Venice, Italy.

The couple already had a dog together and are said to be ecstatic about the news of them welcoming twins into the world. 

 

 It sure sounds like they are happy with each other and have a lot of support as they go through this exciting time in their lives.
