George and Amal Clooney’s surprising gesture for new Provence community [Video]

George and Amal Clooney are making themselves at home in the south of France – and are already having a big impact on the local community.

Hollywood megastar George, who moved to the small town of Brignoles in the Var department in 2021, wasted no time meeting the local mayor and voicing his interest in helping a farm-to-table venture get off the ground. Mayor Didier Brémond told Paris Match about the exciting new venture, revealing George was keen to fund the project and offer long-term financial aid.

“George Clooney told me he wanted to help Brignoles, a bit like he did for Le Val during the flooding in 2021 by offering a cheque of 20,000 euros,” he explained to the paper.
