George Clooney jokes about being banned from entering house if he misses Amal's delivery

George Clooney skipped his own humanitarian award in Yerevan, Armenia, to be with his wife Amal Alamuddin, who is due in the first week of June. The 56-year-old, who is the co-founder of the Aurora Prize for Awakening Humanity, was still a part of the ceremony, thanks to his video message.

On Sunday, the actor sent a video message, which was broadcast at the humanitarian award, and joked about being banned from travelling by his wife as her due date approaches.

"I really would have been [in Yerevan] but if I came there and my wife had twins while I was there, I could never come home," George said talking about his pregnant wife Amal.

George and Amal's twins were due in the first week of June, but several reports suggested that Amal is expected to deliver sooner than expected.

"They're counting down [the days] and pretty much at the edge of their seats," a source told E! News a few weeks ago. "Every day, one of them is like, 'It's going to be today. I can feel it' and then it doesn't happen."

Meanwhile, the annual humanitarian award ceremony, co-founded by George, honours an individual whose actions made an impact on saving human lives and advancing humanitarian causes, according to the official website.

This year, Dr Tom Catena was honoured with the award and $1.1 million dollars (£850,000) prize. Dr Catena from New York was selected from more than 550 nominations submitted from 66 countries. He received the award for working day and night to take care of more than 750,000 citizens in a war zone in Sudan.

"As violence and war continue to threaten people's spirits and perseverance, it is important to recognise, empower and celebrate people like Dr Catena, who are selflessly helping others not only to survive but thrive," George said in honour of Dr Catena in his video message.
