Clooney and new wife, Amal |
Hollywood
star George Clooney has married human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin in Venice,
in one of the most eagerly anticipated events of the showbusiness year.
A host of
fellow stars descended on the city’s canals for the union between the film
world’s most eligible bachelor, 53, and Ms Alamuddin, 36.
The
ceremony was celebrated in a hotel overlooking the famous Grand Canal.
Clooney’s
agent broke the news to journalists in a brief statement.
Clooney
and his friends had sipped champagne before gliding up the Grand Canal on
Saturday evening to the luxury Aman Hotel, waving to hundreds of well-wishers.
Guests
include Cindy Crawford, Bill Murray, Matt Damon and the U2 singer Bono.
Clooney’s
boat was momentarily blocked by a passing cruise liner and then by a water bus,
giving time for dozens of boats carrying photographers to catch up.
A police
boat swerved in vain to try to keep the paparazzi away.
Ms
Alamuddin was last seen publicly on Friday riding in a water taxi down the
Grand Canal with Clooney’s arm round her.
The
couple were engaged in April.
Despite
the long build-up to the wedding, interest still abounded on social media at
news of the knot being tied.
“George
Clooney is married,” wrote one tweeter. “Heterosexual men of earth release a
collective sigh of relief. Everyone else mourns.”
