The actor said goodbye to his bachelorhood after getting engaged on Friday
George Clooney and his fiancée Amal Alamuddin arrive in Venice, Italy
George Clooney said goodbye to bachelorhood in Venice on Friday night with a stag party at his favourite restaurant with a host of Hollywood chums.The actor had swept into the floating city on Friday with his British fiancee Amal Alamuddin on a watertaxi dubbed “Amore”, zipping up the Grand Canal to cheers from fans at the start of nuptials set to draw out over the weekend.
As evening approached and girls across the world sobbed, he set out in black tie for an all-boys do with friends to celebrate one of his last nights as a single man. After shaking off the paparazzi, Clooney headed to Da Ivo near Saint Mark’s Square where his security detail was spotted lurking as the star and friends dined on the venue’s prized Venetian and Tuscan delicacies.
He was then reported to have headed to the luxurious Cipriani hotel where he was set to sleep, but not before rounding off the evening with some shots and cigars. The 53-year-old actor had 100 cases of his own tequila label flown in for his wedding.The couple are expected to be officially married in a civil ceremony on Monday, but will have to work hard not to succumb to a hangover before that with a party for 130 or so guests at a reception on Saturday.
The rich and famous will be escorted by police boats to the exclusive seven-star Aman resort within the 450-year-old Palazzo Papadopoli to keep over-excited Clooney admirers and hundreds of photographers at a distance. The Aman’s restaurant will be turned into a nightclub, with Lana Del Rey reportedly preparing to serenade the couple and Clooney dedicating the song When I fall in Love to Alamuddin.
Clooney was married once before, to Mad Men actress Talia Balsam, but the pair split in 1993, just before his breakout role in ER propelled him to the status of global sex symbol.
