REPORT O 8 Reasons Amal Is George Clooney's Soulmate ne year after marrying the human-rights lawyer, the actor can't stop gushing about his wife – and how she's changed everything here you can find out, SHE'S TRANSFORMED HIS WHOLE WORLDVIEW : "All I know is that it sort of changed everything in terms of what I thought my future – my future personal future – was going to be," Clooney told PEOPLE of marriage at the May 9 premiere of his film Tomorrowland. "I've always been an optimist about the world. I wasn't always completely optimistic about how it was going to work out personally for me. But now I am." SHE'S SMART… AND FUNNY … AND CARING "She's an amazing human being," Clooney gushed to Entertainment Tonight about his wife, who frequently visits him on the N.Y.C. set of Money M o n s t e r. "And she's caring. And she also happens to be one of the smartest people I've ever met. And she's got a great sense of humor." So … we think he's into her? SHE'S FIERCELY INDEPENDENT After the couple watched both the Final Four and golf Masters tournament over the course of two weeks, Amal made her opinion on the activity very clear. "[S]he goes, 'So, every weekend we're going to be watching a sporting event?' I'm like, 'Actually, that's how it works,'" Clooney joked to Extra. "It kills her." SHE'S THE MOST FASHIONABLE PERSON HE'S EVER MET "She just picks up clothes and I'm like, 'That's unbelievable,'" Clooney said his wife's style, which continues to turn heads on the red carpet and college campuses. SHE LOVES HER FAMILY – AND SO DOES HE Clooney invited Amal's niece, Mia Hamiyah, to the May 9 premiere of his sci-fi flick, Tomorrowland, in Disneyland. "He adores her family," a source tells PEOPLE. And now they're starting one of their own – the couple cherishes their two cocker spaniels, Einstein and Louie. (As for human children, Clooney is not ready to say. "Thanks for asking," he responded when asked by Entertainment Tonight if he and Amal want kids.) HE CARES ABOUT HER 'MORE THAN I'VE CARED ABOUT ANYTHING' It was in an interview with Charlie Rose on CBS This Morning where Clooney uttered his cutest quip about his wife of one year: "[I have] someone who I can talk to about anything, and someone who I care more about than I've cared about anything. It's nice." All together now: Aww! IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT She's beautiful and brilliant, so is it any wonder that George decided early on that he wanted to marry the human rights lawyer? "I knew fairly quickly that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Amal," he told Charlie Rose in May. She, however, took a little more time deciding: "We had never talked about it so there wasn't like a 'Hey, maybe we should get married.' Literally, I dropped it on her … and she just kept saying, 'Oh my God,' and 'Wow!' " he said. "We just sat there and finally I said, 'Listen, I'm 52 and I've been on my knee now for about 28 minutes, so I gotta get an answer out of this or I'm going to throw a hip out. I might not be able to stand back up!' " HE'S HER ARM CANDY – AND HE'S TOTALLY OKAY WITH IT As the husband of world-renowned human rights lawyer Amal, George fully admits that the role he's playing most often these days is her arm candy. "Shiny and pretty – that's mostly what I do now," he joked to Stephen Colbert during an appearance on The Late Show. 21 | BOOM
