Amal seems to be charming everyone she meets and mostimportantly her husband, who was Hollywood's most eligible bachelor for years. The 54-year-old actor can't stop gushing about his Lebanese beauty. "There wasnothing tough about it," George, said in a new interview withnews.com.au. "Our only adjustments are figuring out our schedules.Our deal is that we can't be more than a week apart. So far that's worked outpretty well."

And the Tomorrowland staradmitted his wife is actually the brains of the couple. "We don't disagreeon many things so far," he revealed. "Since she's smarter than me,the only way we resolve anything is by arm wrestling. That is my only chance ofwinning anything with her because if it's an intellectual battle, I would lose.She's the smart one in the family."
Another intelligent woman in both Julia and George's life is Money Monster director Jodie Foster. “George and Iwere pinching each other,” Julia added in her interview. “Like, ‘Howdid we end up with this brainiac girl?’ It was awesome!”

While they bonded over the love of the women in their life,George and Julia also both appeared on The Late Show this week to say goodbyeto David Letterman as he prepares to retire on May 20.
Speaking of intelligence, although she has been on the show26 times, Julia revealed she was anxious before her first interview in 1989,almost turning down the opportunity because she didn't think she was smartenough. "The first time I was onthis show was to promote Mystic Pizza, and as a fan of the show, I did notwant to come on because I had seen you absolutely dismember young actresses ofmy kind of peer group," the 47-year-old shared on Wednesday's show."And I thought, 'I'm going to go on, and he's going to know within 10seconds what my IQ is, and you are going to like a samurai, just sort of likeBenihana me into pieces and I'll be left for dead and forgotten."

"You're not going anywhere DavidLetterman," he said attaching himself to the 68-year-old and throwing thekey into the audience.

"What you've meant to us, all of us, with somany of the laughs and the moments of walking us through times where we didn'tknow what to do…you belong to us for the ages my friend."
