George Clooney has vowed never to have children.

The Hollywood bachelor claims he has no intention of settling down and becoming a father - because he wouldn't be able to give a child his full attention.

He told US interviewer Diane Sawyer: "There isn't anything in me that wants to replicate.

"I always thought it is such a great responsibility and not something I could just do half-assed. I don't have that interest in me."

George - who is currently rumoured to be romancing Italian heiress Gianna Elvira Cantatore - seems to be in no danger of settling down.

He has previously dated a string of beauties, including actress Renee Zellweger, model Lisa Snowdon and former 'Baywatch' babe Krista Allen.

He has also romanced Sylvester Stallone's ex Angie Everhart, Canadian waitress Maria Bertrand and French teacher Celine Balitran.

But his longest relationship - 16 years - has been with his beloved pot-bellied pig, Max, who is even rumoured to share George's bed.

The 'Ocean's Twelve' star recently confessed he didn't know what he was looking for in a relationship.

He said: "I'm not an expert in relationships since I seem to have blown quite a few over the years!"
