Clooney Predicts Parthenon Marbles Will Return to Greece
George Clooney, a famous actor, says he believes some old Greek statues called the Parthenon Marbles will go back to Greece.
These statues are currently in a museum in Britain, but Greece wants them back because they think they were taken unfairly a long time ago.
Clooney's wife, who is a lawyer, has been helping Greece with their case.
Clooney says he and his wife will keep working until the statues are returned.
Greece has been trying hard to get them back for many years, and the current government is also working on it.
George Clooney expressed certainty that the Parthenon Marbles will be repatriated to Greece.
Clooney stated that the repatriation is a 'family' matter for him and his wife.
His wife, Amal Clooney, has advised Greek governments on the case.
Greece has long sought the return of the sculptures from the British Museum.
The current Greek government has increased efforts for their return.
