George Clooney took his new wife Amal to Augusta, Kentucky, earlier this week to show her where he grew up.

The 54-year-old Hollywood hunk - who tied the knot in Italy in September last year - owns properties in Lake Como and a mansion in Berkshire, England, but opted to shun such glamour to show Amal, 37, around Augusta.

The celebrity duo visited a Southern restaurant, where George sang Happy Birthday to a woman sat nearby, while they also visited the movie star's favourite childhood hangout, Magee's Bakery, where they sampled the shop's famous Transparent Tart.

Russell Dickson, the co-owner of the establishment, told Us Weekly: "They were fun as a couple. He loves the Transparent."

This comes shortly after it was reported that Amal has been taking acting classes, as she's keen to make a cameo appearance in one of her husband's movies.

A source said: "George asked her ages ago if she ever wanted to give her family a thrill and do a cameo.

"[She won't just] walk into a job without doing her research. She's been taking weekly acting classes with a private coach and loving every minute of it."
