Actor-filmmaker George Clooney joins other Hollywood celebrities such as Blake Lively, Gigi Hadid and Ashton Kutcher in a growing movement to request publications do not publish photos of their children.
George Clooney Clooney released an open letter on November 4, addressed to “The Daily Mail and other publications,” asking for restraint in photos and other mentions of his children.
The letter empathises with 29-year-old actor Billie Lourd, the daughter of late Carrie Fisher, whose year-old daughter’s photos were published without consent and then taken down as per the actor’s request.
