Rumor has it that George Clooney will run for Governor of California.

Friends of the 53-year-old star say that he is set to join the 2018 race with the Democratic Party.

Clooney is politically active and has been involved in numerous campaigns for human rights in Syria and Sudan. He has numerous political contacts and even counts President Barack Obama as a close friend.

A source told the Daily Mirror: “George is hugely popular with Democrats and where better to be than Governor of California, home of Hollywood? It has always been a huge stronghold for the party and one that has a proven record for getting politicians into the Oval office.”

Clooney’s fiancé Amal Alamuddin is heavily involved in international politics. The two of them were recently invited to the White House as guests of the president for a screening of Monuments Men which Clooney stars in.

The insider also added: “Now that Amal is by his side it has boosted his credentials even higher. She is as far removed as some of the girls he has previously dated and possesses incredible intelligence that bodes well if she ever does become First Lady.

“It would certainly add a new meaning to the “special relationship” between Britain and America.”
