The tragic and sudden passing of 27-year-old model Presley Gerber has left a massive hole in the hearts of his family and close friends. Now, Hollywood icon George Clooney is opening up about the unimaginable loss.
George and his wife, Amal Clooney, recently attended the 2026 Albies in London. While walking the red carpet, the actor was asked about the heartbreaking death of Presley, who is the son of his longtime best friend and business partner, Rande Gerber, and supermodel Cindy Crawford.
Visibly emotional, George admitted that the pain is still too fresh for everyone involved.
“I don’t even think we’re in the position of being able to talk about it,” the Oscar-winning actor confessed to Entertainment Tonight. “Quite honestly, it’s one of the most devastating things that’s happened to our family.”
George, who co-founded the Casamigos tequila brand with Rande, has been incredibly close to the Gerber family for decades. He has watched both Presley and his younger sister, Kaia Gerber, grow up since they were babies.
“And their family is just, as you can imagine – it’s the worst thing that could ever happen to a family,” George added, his voice filled with sorrow.
The entertainment world is still reeling from the shocking news. Just recently, fans watched in tears as Kaia Gerber and Cindy Crawford were left heartbroken over the sudden family tragedy. Presley had previously been very open about his personal struggles with mental health and addiction, hoping his story would help others who were fighting similar battles.
As the Gerber and Clooney families continue to navigate this dark and painful time, fans from all over the world are sending their love and support.
