The unauthorized photographs were published on the front cover of the French magazine _Voici_. “Make no mistake the photographers, the agency and the magazine will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law,” wrote the _Money Monster_ star in a strongly-worded statement acquired by TIME, adding, “The safety of our children demands it.” Clooney added in the statement that the photographers scaled a fence, climbed a tree and “illegally” took photographs of newborns Ella and Alexander, who were inside his Lake Como estate at the time. The pair have not yet released any official photos of the twins, who were [born on June 6](http://time.com/4798411/george-amal-clooney-kids-born/). The actor has fought against the paparazzi before. During the lead up to his 2014 wedding to Amal, Clooney won privacy laws in order to keep photographers and other unwanted guests from his Italian mansion. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4878179/george-clooney-paparazzi-twins-voici/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4878179/george-clooney-paparazzi-twins-voici/"},"headline":"George Clooney Hits Back at Paparazzi Who Photographed Twins","datePublished":"2017-07-28T15:16:36.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-31T11:09:34.277Z","description":"'The photographers, the agency and the magazine will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law'","url":"https://time.com/4878179/george-clooney-paparazzi-twins-voici/","keywords":["celebrities","George Clooney","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc88dbd4e60933af3/69888be6f887dc5aa9e95225/george-clooney-hillary-clinton.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Kate Samuelson","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/kate-samuelson/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc88dbd4e60933af3/69888be6f887dc5aa9e95225/george-clooney-hillary-clinton.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"\"Gravity\" New York Premiere - Inside Arrivals","caption":"George Clooney attends the \"Gravity\" New York premiere at AMC Lincoln Square Theater on October 1, 2013 in New York City.","creditText":"D Dipasupil—FilmMagic/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":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/celebrities/","name":"celebrities"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4878179/george-clooney-paparazzi-twins-voici/","name":"George Clooney Hits Back at Paparazzi Who Photographed Twins"}}]}] ```
