George Clooney Reveals The Full Extent Of His Awkward 25 Minute Proposal

George Clooney never thought he would get married again, until he met Amal Alamuddin that is.

The 54-year-old opened up to Ellen DeGeneres about the moment they met and how he popped the question.

"It was one of those funny things. From the minute we met, we just hit it off. And from the minute we met, we just sort of felt like we were going to be together."

After six months, he finally got up the courage to ask her, but it didn't quite go according to plan and he described it as "one of those horrible moments."

"We didn't talk about it. It wasn't like, 'Oh, maybe we should get married or anything,'" he explained. "I plotted the whole thing out. I had the ring hidden behind her. I had music playing—my Aunt Rosemary's gonna sing 'Why Shouldn't I?' Everything was planned out, and I've cooked dinner."

"And she comes in and she's just come back from London. And she's, you know she's—usually she'll dress up and now she's like maybe we'll just order in and I go, "No, no, no, I've made dinner.'"

"I've got it all set up, timed out, and the song is coming and she gets up to go wash the dishes, which she's never done. And I'm like, 'What are you doing?' and she comes back in. And finally I said, you know, 'I blew out the candle and I said I think the lighter's in the box behind you.' And she reaches around and she pulls out the box and I've got just the ring sitting in there, and she pulls it out, and she looks at it, and she's like, "It's a ring," like as if somebody had left it there some other time. I don't know and I'm doing all the moves you can do with my face."

"[I] said, 'I couldn't imagine spending the rest of my life without you,' " he explains. "And she kept looking at the ring and she was looking at me and she was like 'Oh my God.'"

The Hail, Caesar! star said the the hilariously awkward ordeal went on for around 25 minutes before he finally said, "Look, I hope the answer is yes, but I need an answer I'm 52 and I could throw out my hip pretty soon."
