Posted Dec 4th 2006 10:46AM by Celly

George Clooney's 300-pound potbellied pig, Max, died last Friday.Barbra Walters, George Clooney and his pet pig
Clooney once said that his longest relationship ever was with Max, his personal porker. The oinker had serious healthGeorge Clooney gallery: Click to launch problems -- he had arthritis and was partially blind. In 2001, Max was accidentally hit by a car driven by one of Clooney's friends.

Clooney has had the squealer for 18 years. He got porcine custody after his breakup with Kelly Preston. Tough year for Clooney; his bulldog also died earlier this year.

8. Very sad. I saw an interview with George where they talked about Max and George truly loves this guy. My condolences as well.

10. What a bummer! I always thought it was pretty cool that the hottest guy in Hollywood would rather chill with his pig than get annoyingly and permanently involved with some starlett. (sniffle) I really liked the fact that a pig was part of one of my favorite movie stars lives. At least Max had, I'm sure, a FABULOUS life.

13. Pets are far more loyal than any human and the term unconditional love is truely reserved only for animals. My heart goes out to anyone losing a pet.

14. How awful....losing a beloved pet is such a hard thing to go through, and to lose two in one year? Everything is so different and lonely after a pet dies, especially when you've had one for years and years. I feel for anyone who loses a pet. I don't think its possible to get over the loss you just learn to live with it and its awful.

15. RIP, MAX the pig. George was SO attached to his pig--he always tried to talk about him in interviews. AND, that relationship lasted 18 years--whereas, George's relationships with humans tend not to fare as well.
