George Clooney's hilarious reaction to the idea of being Archie Harrison's godfather

Don’t count on George Clooney to be Archie Harrison's godfather. The Catch-22 star opened up about the possibility of getting the title from his parents and good friends, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. “That would be a bad idea,” he told Jimmy Kimmel. "I shouldn’t be the godfather. I’m a father of twins and I can barely do that.” The 58-year-old held firm to his answer when the late-night talk show host asked if he would do it if the opportunity presented itself. George quipped: “I should not be anybody’s godfather.”

How does the A-list actor feel about sharing his birthday? “It’s a little irritating, because that kid is really stealing my thunder,” he joked with Entertainment Tonight. “This was my day. I was sharing it already with Orson Welles and Sigmund Freud.” The father-of-two has nothing but love for the royal couple and their new bundle,” he said. “They’re a lovely couple, so it’s very exciting. As for any advice for the pair, the movie star noted that he isn’t in the place to give tips. “I don’t give them advice,” he joked. “I mean at 58 really, you just walk with a walker.”
