George Clooney reportedly wants to launch a career in politics after marrying his fiancee Amal Alamuddin.

The 53-year-old actor, who is rumoured to be preparing to tie the knot with the British lawyer in September after getting engaged last month, is reportedly gearing up to take part in the next US election.

A source told the Daily Mirror that the actor has big ambitions and aims to get into politics imminently.

He wants to do more humanitarian work and hopes to join the Democrats' 2016 election campaign, the source added.

The Oscar-winning producer and actor, who rallied for President Barack Obama ahead of the 2012 election and co-founded humanitarian aid organisation Not On Our Watch with several friends, including Matt Damon and Brad Pitt, six years ago, believes Alamuddin will help boost his chances of securing an official role in the next government.
