George Clooney has a big reputation for being one of the biggest pranksters in Hollywood, fooling Meryl Streep, Matt Damon and Brad Pitt to name just a few of his famous victims.

So itโ€™s not surprising that his toddler twins, Ella and Alexander, appear to be following in their fatherโ€™s cheeky footsteps.

โ€œThey do pranks already,โ€ Clooney said during an appearance on TODAY to promote his new Hulu series Catch-22.

โ€œThey put peanut butter on their shoes, so that it looks like poo-poo on their shoes and stuff,โ€ he said. โ€œThey think thatโ€™s funny.โ€

Clooney also gushed about his wife, human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, calling her an โ€œincredible mum, and a pretty great wife, tooโ€.

โ€œI feel like Iโ€™ve hit the jackpot,โ€ he said.

But while Clooneyโ€™s little ones, whom he has affectionately nicknamed โ€œthe knuckleheads,โ€ will celebrate their second birthday next month, the proud dad said thereโ€™s no sign of the โ€œterrible-twos,โ€ just yet.

โ€œTheyโ€™re happy kids,โ€ he said. โ€œThey laugh a lot.โ€

The 58-year-old also shared his surprise at just how much his son and daughter differ.

โ€œThey really come out with the personalities that theyโ€™re born with, you know?โ€ he said. โ€œMy daughterโ€™ll be, like, โ€˜Sit downโ€™ โ€ฆ and then heโ€™ll sit down, and, you know, theyโ€™re just completely different personalities.โ€

Describing Ella and Alexander as โ€œfun and smart,โ€ the 58-year-old added, โ€œI mean, they already can do all their ABCs in Italian and in English.

โ€œI canโ€™t do that in English.โ€
