Clooney, who has four-year-old twins with Amal, said he was prompted to send the letter after seeing photos of actress Billie Lourd's one-year-old published online.

"I am a public figure and accept the oftentimes intrusive photos as part of the price to pay for doing my job. Our children have made no such commitment.
"The nature of my wife's work has her confronting and putting on trial terrorist groups and we take as much precaution as we can to keep our family safe. We cannot protect our children if any publication puts their faces on their cover," Clooney’s statement read in part.

He further pointed out that he and his wife are not on social media and never share photos of their kids to avoid putting their lives in jeopardy.

“We hope that you would agree that the need to sell advertisement isn't greater than the need to keep innocent children from being targeted,” he concluded.
