Julia Roberts and George Clooney used to be very close. But ever since the latter married Amal Clooney, his friendship with Roberts suffered.

In its Feb. 7 issue, New Idea claimed that it’s been years since Roberts and George last saw each other. Now, they have been spending so much with each other in Australia because they are filming their upcoming movie.

But when they reunited, the Pretty Woman actress couldn’t allegedly believe how much George changed.

“For years, George was always the life of the party, the king of practical jokes. His crazy pranks were Hollywood legend. He was always the last to leave a party and the first to suggest having one. But from the moment he met Amal, George has been on his best behavior,” the source said.

The insider claimed that Roberts has not spent as much time as she used to with George. So, she was shocked to see how much his marriage to Amal changed him.

Every now and then, Roberts joins the couple on their lunch and dinner dates, and she always tries to tell Amal how funny and cools her husband was. However, the human rights lawyer allegedly shifts the conversation back to more important topics such as how she disciplines her children.

“Sometimes it was questions about bringing up kids – whether or not they should be allowed to eat junk food, attend private school, or public school, and how to discipline them,” the source said.

For some reason, the tabloid is also taking offense over the fact that Amal never learned how to cook and clean. As such, George is the one that does the household chores, and he also looks after their children.

According to the source, this is one of the reasons why George is no longer as fun as he once was. After all, his priorities have changed and he’s now more focused on taking care of his family.

However, one should take the tabloid’s claims with a grain of salt.

It’s unlikely for Roberts to be complaining about George because his personality and life changed. After all, this is just normal for married couples.

Throughout the past couple of months, the tabloids have also been pitting Roberts and Amal against each other. At one point, they claimed that Roberts and George had a secret fling even when this isn’t true.
