Amal Clooney couldn't help but gush over her husband George Clooney during her virtual book launch on Wednesday. 

The human rights lawyer said she had been working on her 1000-plus-page legal text, "The Right to a Fair Trial in International Law," over the past few years and appreciated the actor's patience and understanding. 

"I know this process seemed interminable to him," Amal said, according to People magazine. "Especially since I was always so sure that this was 'the very last drafting session,' over and over again!

"The book drafting took place at all his filming locations and throughout the process ... he was not only patient but so wonderfully encouraging and inspiring," the 42-year-old said.
