George Clooney is an actor, screenwriter, entrepreneur, activist, husband and father of two, but there's one thing he wants to make clear: He's no one's godfather. However, since the birth of the youngest member of Britain's royal family, the rumor mill has cast Clooney in that very role for little Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. So now the A-lister is speaking out and putting the rumors to rest. Prince Harry and the former Meghan Markle will pick a godfather — or, more likely, several — when Archie's christening approaches, but their friend Clooney says it won't be him. "Everybody loves their rumors," he told Extra Tuesday. "It's not true." Download the TODAY app for all the latest royal baby news. In fact, the "Catch-22" star, who, with wife Amal, attended the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex almost one year ago, told late-night host Jimmy Kimmel that it wouldn't even be a good idea.

"I shouldn't be the godfather. I'm a father of twins — I can barely do that." Just don't tell that to his 1-year-olds, Ella and Alexander. When Kimmel asked if that means Clooney would turn down an official invitation to be Archie's godfather, he simply said, "I'm not going to be the godfather. I can promise you that." But he does share a special bond with Harry and Meghan's bundle of joy. The duchess gave birth to Archie on Monday, which just so happened to be the big- and small-screen star's 58th birthday. "Yeah, that kid stole my thunder," Clooney joked.<doc-sep>(CNN) — George Clooney is apparently still trying to master being a father, so he’s not interested in taking on any new duties thank you very much. The actor shares a birthday with “Baby Sussex” who is now officially Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. Clooney, who turned 58 on Monday, shot down rumors Wednesday he will stand as godfather to the latest member of the royal family. “Everybody loves their rumors,” the star of the new “Catch-22” miniseries told entertainment TV show “Extra.” “It’s not true.” The star and his wife, famed international attorney Amal Clooney, are the parents of twin toddlers set to turn 2 in a month, and it sounds like the actor already has his hands full. “You don’t want me to be a godparent of anybody,” he said. “I’m barely a parent at this point. It’s frightening.” The Clooneys are part of a circle of celebrity friends including Oprah WInfrey, Serena Williams, Priyanka Chopra and David and Victoria Beckham who attended last year’s wedding of Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, who is now the Duchess of Sussex.<doc-sep>Making fun! George Clooney cracked a joke about the name Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry chose for their first royal baby, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. “Archie, it’s a good name,” the actor, 58, told Ellen DeGeneres on Thursday, May 9. “It’s better than Jughead.” When the Ellen DeGeneres Show host, 61, pointed out that Jughead would be a great name for a sibling, paying homage to the comics and The CW’s Riverdale, Clooney pointed out, “There’s always room.” “I spoiled it,” the Catch-22 star went on to say. “‘Archie, Jughead, get in here!’” The Duke, 34, and Duchess of Sussex, 37, welcomed their son on Monday, May 6, and announced his name two days later. “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are pleased to announce they have named their first born child: Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor,” the couple’s Wednesday, May 8, Instagram reveal read. “This afternoon Their Royal Highnesses introduced Her Majesty The Queen to her eighth great-grandchild at Windsor Castle. The Duke of Edinburgh and the duchess’ mother were also present for this special occasion.” The ER alum and his wife, Amal Clooney, meanwhile share 23-month-old twins, Alexander and Ella, who were born in 2017. “They have their own personalities,” the Golden Globe winner said on Thursday. “He goes outside and hugs my car. … My daughter’s in my wife’s closet with purses going, ‘Mine,’ so I see this is going to be a fun, fun life for me.” He added that parenting two under 2 is “a lot,” even though the little ones are “very well-behaved,” since they “run in two different directions.” Alexander and Ella are growing up in Italy, England and Los Angeles, and George said “they can count from 1 to 20 in English and Italian.” Not only that, but his son has started copying his mom’s accent. “The other day I caught my son, — because my wife is very, very English, very British, — my son said, ‘Zebra,’” the Kentucky native said. “I’ve got to fix that, though. That’s not gonna happen.” George and the human rights lawyer, 41, tied the knot in 2014.<doc-sep>

"Yeah, that kid stole my thunder," Clooney quipped, when a certain royal baby was brought up. "It's kind of irritating, if you think about it," he said on Extra. "'Cause I've already had to split [my birthday] with Orson Welles, Sigmund Freud, and now this [baby] comes in. I'm moving down the line very quickly." Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's first child, arrived early in the morning (U.K. time) on May 6-although the public wouldn't learn his name until the 8th. Many other details about Archie remain under wraps, including who the baby's godparents will be. Clooney, however, is sure he can rule someone out.

I'm barely a parent at this point. It's frightening." His and Amal Clooney's twins, Ella and Alexander, are nearing their second birthday. "Two in a month. They're good," Clooney said. "Now, because they're twins they go in that direction," he added, gesturing in opposite directions. "When I'm left alone with them it's a nightmare." On the Ellen DeGeneres Show, Clooney noted that the twins were picking up their mom's British accent. (In case you were wondering, that will certainly be the case with Archie.) "The other day I caught my son... my son said 'zeb-ra,'" Clooney said, per People. He then joked, "I’ve got to fix that. That’s not going to happen." ('You Might Also Like',)
