George Clooney wrote an open letter to the media, asking not to publish pictures of his children

Hollywood star George Clooney has written an open letter to media organizations around the world asking them not to publish pictures of their children. As Deadline reports, Clooney, who has two children with wife Amal Clooney, decided to write the letter after a British tabloid published photos of actor Billie Lourd and their child.

“After seeing photos of Billie Lourd’s one-year-old baby in your publication, and the fact that you later took those photos down, we would request you to refrain from putting the faces of our babies in your publication.” I am a public figure and often accept intrusive photos as part of the price for doing my job. Our children have not made any such commitment,” said the 60-year-old actor.

Clooney insisted that photos of his children on the Internet could put his life at risk because of his wife Amal’s job as a human rights lawyer. “The nature of my wife’s job is to confront and prosecute terrorist groups and we take as many precautions as possible to keep our family safe. We can’t protect our children if a publication puts their faces on the cover.
