It was revealed earlier this week that he and his wife Amal are expecting twins - their first children together.

So George Clooney certainly had cause to celebrate on Friday night, as he enjoyed a relaxed dinner at Craig's restaurant in West Hollywood.

The Syriana star, 55, looked in good spirits as he left the swanky eatery after a low-key outing with his close friend Rande Gerber, in light of the happy news.

The Hollywood actor looked as slick as ever in a leather jacket as he made his departure from the restaurant with Rande, who was the best man at his wedding in 2014.

Heading straight to his car in the pouring rain, George kept a low profile as he slipped away from the restaurant to continue their celebratory evening elsewhere.

Meanwhile the businessman, who is married to supermodel Cindy Crawford, soon followed suit as he headed home close behind in equally smart attire.

The couple have been friends with George for more than 20 years - after the two men met in a bar in New York.

The pals even had twin villas in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, which they sold to a Mexican billionaire for a whopping $131 million in April last year.

The friends then went into business together in 2015 when they launched their own brand of tequila, Casamigos - which has gone on to win several awards.

Having been friends so long, the pair were no doubt celebrating George's recent happy news that he and Amal are expecting twins.

The joyful announcement was made on CBS show The Talk by Julie Chen, who confirmed the pair were welcoming their new arrivals in June.

The human rights lawyer, 39, had been showing off a bump in recent weeks, particularly during her visit to Barcelona last week - although they remained fiercely tight-lipped about the speculation.

According to InTouch, Amal is expecting 'a boy and a girl', which helped dispel their inital fears of welcoming two children into their lives.

A source told the site: 'When George and Amal found out it was twins they were surprised,' the source said, 'but also a little scared because they both had said that one was enough.

'But the news that it was a boy and a girl made them both really happy ... they can’t believe in just a few months, they’re going to have two babies.'

George and Amal have since been met with an influx of congratulations from both fans and famous friends - including Matt Damon, who gushed that his Ocean's Eleven co-star had 'hit the jackpot'.

'I'm thrilled for him. She's amazing. He hit the jackpot. Just on every level. She is a remarkable woman. They're gonna be great. They're gonna be awesome parents. Those kids are lucky,' the 46-year-old told ET Canada.
