George Clooney is devastated following the death of his beloved pet, a potbellied pig called Max.
The actor said Max, who George had previously joked about letting share a bed with him, had gone partially blind and suffering from arthritis.
George, who was away promoting his latest movie ‘The Good German’ when Max when to piggy heaven, said: “He was as old a pig as the vets had ever seen.”
“I was really sad, because he’s been a big part of my life.”
“It has been a bad year for my pets, I had a bulldog that died this year too.”
“It’s strange how animals become a bit part of your family. They really become a big issue with you.”
George adopted Max in the late 1980s while living with his ex Kelly Preston and got custody of him following their split.
