TheSuburbiconactor, 57, spoke toEntertainment TonightThursday night about his babies at the American Film Institute’s 46th Life Achievement Award Gala Tribute in Hollywood, California.

“Yesterday was their birthday. They are 1 year,” Clooney told the outlet, admitting that his kids weren’t as psyched about the festivities due to a bit of jet lag and “slept” during cake time.

“They’re kind of on Europe time,so they were sleepingduring most of the day,” he added. “So we had a cake waiting, and we’d wake them up and show it to them and then they’d go back to sleep.”
