USA TODAY — Amal Clooney is the definition of beauty and brains — and her Vogue cover proves it.
The successful lawyer, wife and mother of twins opened up about her life, career and husband George Clooney during her May cover issue, out Tuesday.
In the interview, Amal said falling in love with George Clooney felt like "the most natural thing in the world."
And though he admits he was drawn to her beauty, George says he found her "fascinating."
"Her life was incredibly exciting — the clients she was taking on and the superhuman work that she was doing. I was taken with her from the moment I saw her," he said.
As an advocate for women's rights throughout the world, Amal also shared her thoughts on the Me Too movement.
“I think because of the brave women who have come forward to tell their stories, the future workplace will be safer for my daughter than it was for people of my generation,” Clooney told the magazine. “We’re in a situation where a predator feels less safe and a professional woman feels more safe, and that’s where we need to be.”
She also shared her views on gun control less than a month after she and her husband participated in (and donated half a million dollars to) the March for Our Lives, which advocated for tighter gun control following the Parkland, Fla. shooting.
“I’ve seen lots of commentary where people have tried to say, ‘This isn’t about having too many guns or allowing semiautomatic and automatic weapons to be purchased too easily — surely this is about mental health, or about violence and movies,'” she said. “The fact is, there are violent movies all over the world, and there are mental-health issues in other countries. But this doesn’t happen in other developed countries. The difference is guns, and how widely and easily available they are."
