Amal Clooney taking acting classes

British human rights lawyer Amal Clooney has reportedly been taking acting classes so that she can land a cameo in one of her husband George Clooney's films.

"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," a source told OK! magazine, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

While Amal has no plans to make a move from law to the film industry, she is "intrigued" by the idea of taking part in a movie.

The insider added: "She'd never change careers, but she's certainly intrigued by George's industry and thinks it could be something fun to do."

Amal is likely not to need too many lessons as George previously admitted she was the "smart one".
