George Clooney almost lost a hip during his proposal!
Doing promotion for his new romcom with Julia Roberts, “Ticket to Paradise,” Clooney stopped by “The Drew Barrymore Show” to chat about the movie and also told the funny story about asking his now-wife Amal to marry him.
“It was a disaster, I planned it out, I planned the whole thing out,” he said. “I got a playlist with my aunt Rosemary [Clooney] singing, and I’m gonna get down and give her the ring right as the song ‘why Shouldn’t I?’ starts.”
He continued saying he asked Amal to grab something from the drawer where the ring was located and then things started to derail.

“I’ve got the ring in a little drawer behind her, I’ve made dinner and we had only been dating for about six months,” The “ER” star said. “She kind of pulls this thing out, this little drawer, and there’s a diamond ring in there and she looks at it and she’s like ‘Uh there’s a ring in there.’ Like somebody had just left it there years ago.”
He then had to say the words, “No, I want you to be my wife.”
His special playlist made it to the final song and Clooney had to speed things up.
“‘Listen I’d like to marry you but I am also not young and I have been on my knee now… I feel like I could lose a hip,’” he told her. “Then she said yes, thank god.”
