On Sunday, George Clooney skipped out on an awards event in Armenia with a pretty reasonable excuse: he didn’t want to take any chances and miss the twins’ impending arrival. “I really would have been (there) but if I came there and my wife had twins while I was there, I could never come home,” Clooney explained in a message. The event was for the [Aurora Prize for Awakening Humanity](https://auroraprize.com/en/), an annual $1 million prize bestowed on a humanitarian in honor of the survivors of the Armenian genocide. [Both George and Amal](http://motto.time.com/4697511/amal-clooney-isis-united-nations-speech/) have been consistent [human rights advocates](http://time.com/3687958/amal-clooney-turkey-armenian-genocide/), and Clooney is the co-chair of the prize selection committee and has attended the ceremony in the past. This year’s recipient was [Dr. Tom Catena](https://auroraprize.com/en/aurora/detail/11531/dr-tom-catena-2017-aurora-prize-laureate), an American missionary who works in Sudan’s Nuba Mountains, and he will pay the prize forward by donating to a number of charities. “Dr. Catena is a role model to us all, and yet another example of people on the ground truly making a difference,” Clooney said in his message. But in the meantime high-powered duo Clooney and Amal will be home prepping for the births. No word yet on what they might be thinking of as names, although “Casa” and “Migos” [are probably out.](http://time.com/4716549/george-clooney-amal-baby-names/) George Clooney Twins Due Date ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4797707/george-clooney-twins-due-date/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4797707/george-clooney-twins-due-date/"},"headline":"George Clooney Just Hinted That the Twins Could Arrive Any Day Now","datePublished":"2017-05-30T15:49:35.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:44:00.009Z","description":"The actor and humanitarian didn't attend a prize ceremony in Armenia, saying that he couldn't take the chance of missing the twins' births.","url":"https://time.com/4797707/george-clooney-twins-due-date/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","George Clooney","Amal Clooney"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4571b73fa2975f72/6988cf56196cf4561804056b/george-amal-clooney.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4571b73fa2975f72/6988cf56196cf4561804056b/george-amal-clooney.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Dinner At Le Fouquet's - Cesar Film Awards 2017 In Paris","caption":"Dinner At Le Fouquet's - Cesar Film Awards 2017 In Paris","creditText":"Stephane Cardinale - Corbis—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4797707/george-clooney-twins-due-date/","name":"George Clooney Just Hinted That the Twins Could Arrive Any Day Now"}}]}] ```
