George Clooney spoke with heartrending candor on the final moments of his sister Adelia ‘Ada’ Zeidler, who succumbed to cancer last December aged 65.
‘She died very quickly, and I was with her when she died,’ Clooney remembered this week while giving a masterclass at the Venice Film Festival.
‘And there was this feeling, being with her, holding her hand when she died, understanding how brief all of this is,’ he said, via Variety.
‘It was minutes ago that she and I were little kids together; Minutes ago we were holding hands as little kid,’ said the Good Night, and Good Luck director.
Clooney, who was awarded the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Festival, reflected: ‘Time goes fast. All of this. And so we have to find nothing but joy.’
Although Ada led a life outside the public eye, she had been spotted with her world famous brother in Venice in 2014, the pair of them riding along a canal together during their visit to the city for his wedding to his wife Amal Clooney.
