George Clooney says there's nothing better in this world than having a smart woman by your side. And that's probably why he married International Human Rights lawyer Amal Clooney, who he considers one of the smartest women he's ever met.

Why Is Amal Clooney So Hated In America? 

In a new interview with Britain's OK! Magazine (via Xpose) on Friday, the Hollywood actor says knowing that he will be married to Amal forever is the best feeling in the world to him.

"I've never been happier. Both professionally and personally," George said. "From the first day I met Amal, I began preparing for the most important phase in my life. For me there is no greater joy in the world than the idea that we're going to stay together. Never did I ever dream that I would have such a beautiful, successful and fulfilling life and also be able to find a woman as wonderful as Amal."

He also says that even though Amal is much smarter than he is, there's something she'll never beat him in.

"She's much smarter than me," he laughed. "The only thing I might be better than Amal at is arm wrestling. But it's always good to surround yourself with intelligent people, which in my case is not particularly difficult. But smart women have never worried me."

The couple tied the knot in a lavish, star-studded ceremony in Venice back in 2014. This is the first marriage for Amal and the second for George, who was previously married to actress Talia Balsam before divorcing in 1988.
