George Clooney: 'I Wanted To Adopt Britney Spears'

George Clooney says he once considered adopting crisis-hit Britney Spears.

But his motives for taking on the recovering pop wreck weren’t entirely altruistic – he wanted someone to look after him in later life.

The Leatherheads star joked to UK Marie Claire magazine: “I did try to adopt Britney Spears – you know, somebody with some cash to take care of me in my old age. She wasn’t having it.”

George also hinted that he may finally be willing to give up his bachelordom for new girlfriend Sarah Larson.

He confessed he now thinks about marriage “every other day”, and that, “[marriage] is something that’s a sort of endgame for people.”

Back in February, Sarah became the first Clooney-squeeze to join the actor on the red carpet, when he escorted the former waitress to the Oscars.

Sarah also joined George for last night's Leatherheads premiere.
