Clooney Uses Brad And Angelina's Kids To Stop Broody Behaviour

The actor admits he calls on the couple's four kids - Maddox, Pax Thien, Zahara and Shiloh - as a deterrent to becoming a father, and frequently invites the family round to stay at his villa in Lake Como, Italy.

He tells British magazine Heat, "Even one kid running around my villa makes me nervous, so I'm definitely not a candidate for father of the year.

"If I need to surround myself with children and feel like I have this big extended family, I can always call Brad and Angie and ask them to stay with me, just to remind myself why I'm so happy."
