George Clooney is in mourning for his beloved pot-bellied pig Max. The 136kg porker, who shared the heart-throb's Hollywood Hills home and sometimes his bed for around 18 years, went to the great trough in the sky on Friday.
Dedicated bachelor Clooney often referred to his bond with his late porcine pal as his longest-running relationship.
This year, the star, 45, took the pig for a flight in John Travolta's private jet, declaring afterwards that Max "absolutely loved it".
