    George Clooney Jokes: "I Want to Adopt" Shailene Woodley

    Is George Clooney ready to settle down and start a family with Stacy Keibler?

    Not exactly. In an interview with The Insider at Monday's 84th Annual Academy Awards nominees luncheon in Beverly Hills, the 50-year-old actor joked that he was "looking to adopt very successful people."

    At the top of his list? Actress Shailene Woodley, who plays his troubled teenage daughter in The Descendants. "She's 20 and smart, and I figure she has a big career ahead and can support me," Clooney reasoned.

    Another perk to adopting Woodley: she's "house-trained," just like his cocker spaniel Einstein. "I've got a dog from the pound that was already house-trained, so that makes sense to me," Clooney joked.

    Clooney is nominated alongside Moneyball's Brad Pitt, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy's Gary Oldman, The Artist's Jean Dujardin and A Better Life's Demian Bichir in the best actor category at the 84th Annual Academy Awards, airing live February 26 on ABC.

      He doesn't want to date her, I just think he sees her as a daughter type.

      Katharine Hepburn did something similar: taking well-established younger people under her wing, insteaqd of having kids. I say, why not? It's better than having some kid that grows up to hate you because he's doing meth and can't get a job.

        He may be a total commitment-phobe, but he always conducts himself with class. Let's hope this remains the case.

        I don't really know anything he has gotten away with he seems to be a great actor,a gentleman, and does not seem to make his private life totally public. Half the comments here thinks he wants to do her, others think he would be looking for male romantic partner. So sounds like you do not know his private life
