George Clooney Loved His Pet Pig

George Clooney recently opened up his home for a tour and our favorite attraction was his rescue dog Einstein.
But Clooney talked about one of his older, more famous pets… Max the pot-bellied pig, who died in 2006.
Clooney said:

“Pigs are really smart. And he was funny, and he made me laugh.
But they’re work, because they’ll destroy everything if you let them.”

Back in 1988, he bought the piglet as a gift for his then-girlfriend Kelly Preston.
After they broke up, he kept the pig.
The two became very close, even cuddling together at times.

“When he was little, he would come up and jump on the bed. He got a little too big to actually spend [time] in the bed.”

So even though he loved the pig, and was devastated when he died, he won’t be getting another one anytime soon.

“When he finally died after 18 years I felt that I’d had enough of pigs, so to speak.”

George Clooney, we love you.
