This Twitter Thread About George Clooney's Pet Pig Max Will Make Your Day
George Clooney and his pet pig Max had a bond that was hard to miss, and even harder to forget. For nearly two decades, the actor shared his life with a 300-pound companion who reportedly slept in his bed, traveled with him, and became part of the family.
That kind of loyalty made Max more than a quirky celebrity pet story, it turned him into a fan favorite. From old photos to funny memories, the pair’s relationship still gets attention years after Max’s death at 19. Read on.
1. What other choice did he have?
Now she knows that nothing comes between a man and his pet pig.
2. Jacuzzi chills
Besties hanging out together.
3. A handsome devil and his charming pet pig
The team is complete. Now, where are the ladies?
4. One look at this picture, and you're hypnotized
Now we want to be part of this awesome friendship.
5. “Come here, little buddy; papa loves you.”
We can tell.
6. What a wonderful human he is
It’s easy to see that Clooney has enough love to go around.
It’s giving the same energy as Chowder the pig who was raised with five dogs and thinks he’s one of them.
7. Max to Clooney’s girlfriends: “Sorry, no vacancy!"
He took never letting go very seriously.
8. Good for you!
It’s so adorable.
9. We sure hope dog lovers don’t see this one
Do you agree that pigs are smarter than dogs?
10. A certified member of the family
Only the very best companions are regarded as "part of the family," so we don’t doubt that pigs are amazing creatures.
11. Meet Rufus
Be careful; he may look harmless, but he’s out to steal your heart.
12. No more pigs required
Max gave Clooney the best pig memories he could ever need.
13. We don’t know about anyone returning from the dead, but the throwback was definitely worth our time
Like George Clooney, many other celebrities have kept peculiar pets. Kirstie Alley has 14 lemurs, Elvis Presley owned a chimp named Scatter, Tori Spelling had a pet chicken, and Michael Jackson had a pet chimp named Bubbles.
We can’t reasonably guess their choosing formula, but we do know that George Clooney chose the right peculiar pet for himself. Max may have lived for only 19 years (which is amazing for a pig), but we doubt Clooney will ever be able to replace such an iconic companion.
If you had the opportunity to own a peculiar pet, which animal would you choose? Let us know in the comments section!
Celebrity pets can get weird fast, and this one is no exception.
