Talk about playing hard to get!

George Clooney is a happily married man to wife Amal, and he couldn't help but gush about her during a pre-taped interview with CBS This Morning, which aired on Tuesday. The A-list actor revealed how he popped the question, and joked that his spouse didn't immediately say yes!

"When I asked her...we had never talked about it...there wasn't, like, 'Hey, maybe we should get married.' I literally I dropped it on her. She just kept saying, 'Oh my God' and 'Wow.' And we just sat there. Finally, I just said, 'Listen. You know, I'm 53,' at the time, or 52, I think, at the time, and I said, 'You know, I've been on my knee now for about 28 minutes. So I gotta get an answer out of this, 'cause I'm gonna throw a hip out'," he joked about waiting for an answer from his bride-to-be.

The Monuments Men star also divulged that the intimate moment unfolded at his Studio City, California, home while the pair were listening to his aunt Rosemary's music. So how did he know she was The One? "It happened pretty quickly. I knew fairly quickly that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Amal," he admitted.

So how has life changed since becoming a married man?

"I have someone who I can talk to about anything and someone who I care more about than I've cared about anybody. So it's really nice," he sweetly explained.

Sounds like Amal has Gorgeous George wrapped around her little finger!
