George Clooney's 'Oceans Thirteen' co-star Ellen Barkin has admitted to making love with the heartthrob actor.

The newly divorced actress declared, "I have f***ed George Clooney. I always heard that George has amazing chemistry with all of his co-stars.

"Now I see why. I'm probably the only one of many actresses to stand up here and admit yes, I have f***ed George Clooney. I'm very proud of it actually.

"If you don't have chemistry with George Clooney, you need to check your pulse."

At the American Cinematheque tribute dinner to Clooney last weekend, which will air on December 13, Julia Roberts told the 45-year-old actor he was her favourite man after her husband, cameraman Danny Moder.

She said: "Before I met my husband, you were the best man I ever met. You're cute and funny and you do wacky things with shaving cream and Neosporin."

A representative for Barkin has played down her sex claims, saying: "She was just goofing around. It was a roast. She was being funny."
