LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- George Clooney's beloved potbelly pig Max has died, Clooney's publicist said. He was 19.

Max, who lived at Clooney's Hollywood Hills home, died "peacefully" of natural causes on Friday, Clooney's publicist, Stan Rosenfield, said by phone Monday.

"Max, like any pet, became a member of the family," Rosenfield said. "He was a big pig, as pigs go. I can't tell you how much he weighed."

The Oscar-winning actor, 45, who owned the hog for 18 years and reportedly once said the porker was his longest relationship, told USA Today, "I was really surprised, because he's been a big part of my life."

Another Clooney pet -- his bulldog Bud -- died earlier this year, Rosenfield said.

Clooney was out of town promoting his upcoming film "The Good German" when Max died, according to USA Today

Pigs are extremely intelligent animals that are actually smarter than cats or dogs. Haven't been able to eat pork since I saw Charlotte's Web a long time ago. I think I'm heading towards eventually becoming a Vegan like St Francis of Assisi anyway. As a friend once told me, "Want to become a vegan ? Just visit a slaughterhouse". The slaughtering and eating of pigs is strictly a cultural thing, in some parts of the world the eating of cats (and I'm a cat lover) dogs and horses is perfectly acceptable.

Wondering,

Between your picture and Animefreak's, I'm not sure which is worse...I do know that a steady diet of either would make every meal a personal penance!

Alexandr! LOL!!!!
Honestly on a serious note (can I be the serious "person" for a minute?), many people make false idols out of movie stars, music stars, etc....
Although, baby back ribs sound good!

Americans do make idols out of our "celebrities" we even have a program called American Idol!

People pay more attention to the latest gossip of Britney and Kevin and Vince and Jen than they do to their own spiritual lives.

I'm also not faulting Anime Freak for posting about the pig, because I'm amazed that the little swine live that long! Who knew?
