We’re sad to report that George Clooney’s good friend Max has just passed away. Max, the 300-lb pig that lived with Clooney in his Hollywood Hills bachelor pad has gone to a better place. Max was by Clooney’s side during thick and thin. They lived with each other for 18 years and at times slept in the same bed. And they say Clooney has commitment issues, he managed to commit to his pig!

"He just died, like an hour ago," tells USA Today.

"He was as old a pig as the vets had ever seen. I was really surprised, because he's been a big part of my life," says Clooney.

In 2005 there were reports that Max had died but Clooney issued a denial statement.

"It has been a bad year for my pets," Clooney tells the newspaper. "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."

Max was also featured in certain interviews with Clooney who called him "Max, the star."
