The 55-year-old actor and his wife Amal, 39, are expecting twins together later this year and Restaurant Lapérouse owner Grégory Lentz, who has known George since 2011 and welcomed the couple to the restaurant over the weekend, says his pal has never been happier.

He told PEOPLE: "Amal is amazing. They're completely, fully in love. She is just lovely, just lovely.

"He's happier than I've ever seen him. She's really amazing."

Meanwhile, George paid a touching tribute to his pregnant wife when he was presented with an honorary award at the César Awards in France last week.

In his acceptance speech, he said: "To my wife Amal, there isn't a day that goes by that I'm not proud to be your husband. And I am excited about the years to come, and particularly the months to come. I love you very much."

And George recently insisted that parenthood will be "an adventure".

He said: "We are really happy and really excited. It's going to be an adventure. We've sort of embraced it all with arms wide open."

The 'Monument's Men' star said his friends were "very supportive" of the news, despite having given him a hard time at first.

He added: "Then it got really quiet, and they all just started making baby crying noises. And the whole table just busted up laughing."

Meanwhile, a source previously claimed the 'Money Monster' actor was "excited but nervous" about becoming a father.

The insider said: "George is excited but nervous. He is excited about the kids, but also has the normal amount of nerves that come with being parents ...

"Amal strikes me as someone who'll be a fantastic mother. Intelligent, loving, funny, smart, nurturing. She doesn't seem someone who will let kids get away with being Hollywood children."
