George Clooney hires bodyguards for twins

Amal Clooney gave birth to the twins less than a week ago but George is taking no chances when it comes to their children’s safety.

George has reportedly hired security guards to watch over twins Ella and Alexander.

The security will even guard the newborns while they sleep in the nursery.

“Fatherhood was a long time coming for George so he’s not risking his brood coming to any harm. The baby bouncers are just the start,” a source told RadarOnline.

It is believed that the bodyguards cost $422,000 a year and that the new parents also recently spent $169,000 on a high-tech security system for their UK property.

“He and Amal have really spoiled the twins,” the source told RadarOnline. “There’s been so much work done on the house already for them.”

Amal’s job as a human rights attorney places her in greater danger than the average person so the couple began to increase their security while she was expecting.

"We decided to be much more responsible, to avoid the danger. I will not go to South Sudan anymore and or the Congo [and] Amal will no longer go to Iraq and she will avoid places where she knows she is not welcome," George told Paris Match magazine before the birth of the twins.

"How can we not be anxious when faced with this immense responsibility? To give birth to a child in this world, nevermind two,” George said.

“We are very happy, very excited, but also a bit nervous. It's normal.”
