George Clooney arrives in the south of France on his private jet with his wife Amal and their close pals Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber – after ‘eyeing up a £7 million sprawling countryside estate in the area’
George Clooney and his wife Amal were spotted touching down in the south of France aboard their private jet with close pals Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber on Friday.
The actor, 61, cut a casual figure as he exited the plane before heading to the Grand-Hotel du Cap-Ferrat in a waiting car, accompanied by the human rights barrister, 44, who sported a stylish fuchsia pink dress for the outing.
It comes following reports that George and Amal were reportedly set to splash out £6.8million (€7.9million) on a sprawling 425-acre estate in the south of France, which is just a stone’s throw from a property owned by fellow Hollywood star Brad Pitt.

Amal cut a sophisticated figure in a stylish one-shouldered fuchsia pink dress which she teamed with a tan braided belt and a matching handbag.
Meanwhile former model Cindy, 56, sported a chic cream blouse and olive green slacks, and accessorised with nude heels as she exited the jet and headed to a waiting car.
Joined by Cindy’s husband Rande, the group were seen jumping into the car parked on the runway and driving to the swanky hotel.

George and Rande have been friends for more than 30 years and founded the tequila company after doing extensive research, about 700 samples worth, according to the former bar owner.
The pair were making about a thousand bottles for themselves and friends, when a distiller told them they needed a license to continue, and thus the company was officially founded with another partner in 2013.
The company sold for $700 million in 2017, but the friends still remain part of the operations.

It comes after reports last year that George and Amal were set to splash out on a property in Brignoles in the Var, known as Domaine de Canadel, which boasts a swimming pool, tennis court and a 25-acre (10-hectare) vineyard.
The stunning historic house is also thought to be just a stones throw from George’s fellow Hollywood star and Oceans’ co-star Brad Pitt’s Château Miraval in Correns, meaning the pals would be neighbours while in Europe.
Set on 425 acres (172 hectares) the 18th century main house is thought to be spread out over three stories to provide ample space and have been remodelled in the 1990s by architect Bruno Lafourcade, reports Dirt.

The stunning mansion is also surrounded by perfectly landscaped gardens as well as a smaller house for a caretaker and private olive grove.
While the interior of the home features lots of spacious rooms to relax in, including a large sitting area complete with a built-in bookcase and several sofas, as well as multiple bedrooms and a good-sized kitchen.
The Clooneys would also have lots of room to entertain while enjoying the sweeping views as the picturesque house comes with ample outside seating dotted around the property.

The mayor of Brignoles Didier Brémond appeared to confirm that the Clooneys were moving in when he recently addressed the chatter in the French press.
He told France Bleu: ‘George Clooney came above all to seek tranquility and not necessarily a large wine estate. He bought this property to come and rest.’
It is thought that George and Amal are purchasing the spacious estate from an Australian couple.
However there were reports in the French press that the estate has already been sold to a local investor for six million euros – although no contracts have been signed, according to Var Martin.
MailOnline contacted George Clooney’s representatives for further comment at the time.
