George Clooney’s Pig Turns Into A Bacon Angel

That’s what I like to imagine happens when pet pigs die. From OHNOTHEYDIDNT:

Clooney on Max: “He’s been a big part of my life.”
NEW YORK By Susan Wloszczyna, USA TODAY

Max has gone to hog heaven. The nearly 300-pound potbellied pig who shared George Clooney’s Hollywood Hills home, and sometimes his bed, died Friday while his owner was out of town promoting his latest film, The Good German, due Dec. 15. “He just died, like an hour ago,” says the actor, who gained custody of the porker about 18 years ago, after breaking up with live-in girlfriend Kelly Preston (now Mrs. John Travolta). “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.”

Girlfriends have come and gone, but Max has always been in his life. In honor of his little friend, I wonder if he’s going to bury him next to a side of eggs.

Max, George Clooney’s pig died. :( [OHNOTHEYDIDNT]

    When you’ve had a pet that long, it’s like losing a child, you almost can’t remember them not being in your life.

    I hear pig heaven is kind of cool though. RIP.
