From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.We’ve all been there. You board a long red-eye flight with the intention of sleeping the entire way - only to be woken by the sounds of a screaming baby on board just as the plane takes off.
That is, unless you are on board a flight with George and Amal Clooney.
According to multiple sources who spoke to Page Six, during a recent international flight to the UK, the pair handed fellow first-class passengers noise-cancelling headphones, in case their twins started to cry.
Travelling with six-month-olds can be difficult, but the Clooney’s made sure other passengers were not affected.
One lucky passenger who happened to be flying with the Clooneys was movie director Quentin Tarantino, who received his own pair.
And these weren’t just any regular noise-cancelling headphones.
According to sources, the devices were emblazoned with the Casamigos tequila logo, Clooney’s tequila brand.
While there have been no reports on whether passengers had to use their headphones or not, they got pretty cool souvenirs either way.
A representative for the Clooneys confirmed the report to The Independent.
