16:30 26 January 2006

George Clooney is being hotly-tipped to star in the new Magnum P.I. movie.

Film bosses believe the handsome star would be perfect as the suave private investigator, originally played by Tom Selleck in the classic 80's TV show.

A source is quoted in Britain's Daily Star newspaper as saying: "He is a big fan of the original series. The part is his if he wants it."

Meanwhile, George has revealed 2006 will be the year he settles down and has children.

The 44-year-old heartthrob " who split from on/off girlfriend Lisa Snowdon last year - said: "I want to be married with six kids this year. I want six little sextuplets around."

Clooney hasn't ruled out falling love at first sight.

He said: "It happened to my parents. My dad asked my mum on a date and asked her to marry him immediately.

"They're still together so I know love at first sight can work."
