George Clooney wants to run for Governor of California with the Democratic Party in the 2018 race.
The
53-year-old actor is aiming to follow in the footsteps of former
Republican Governor and Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger by joining
the 2018 race with the Democratic Party.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "George is hugely popular with Democrats and where better to be than Governor of California, home of Hollywood?
"It
has always been a huge stronghold for the party and one that has a
proven record for getting politicians into the Oval office."
George
reportedly plans to launch his political career after tying the knot
with British lawyer Amal Alamuddin, 36, in September, and has turned
down a number of film projects so he can run for office.
Amal,
who works as a human rights barrister in London, is said to be keen to
continue her career in the city but would consider moving to America to
support George.
The 'Gravity' actor is good friends
with President Barack Obama and was recently his guest at a private
screening for his latest movie 'The Monuments Men' at the White House.
If George went on to win the 2020 race for the Presidency, Amal could become the first British woman to be First Lady and George would follow in Ronald Reagan's footsteps, who went from being a movie idol to Governor to President.
