Believe it or not, perpetual bachelor George Clooney (born May 6, 1961 is an American actor, film director, producer and screenwriter. Clooney has balanced his performances in big-budget blockbusters with work as a producer and director behind commercially riskier projects, as well as social and liberal political activism. On January 31, 2008, the United Nations named Clooney a "Messenger of Peace ) sees lots of children in his future.

They're just not his own.

"I'm going to adopt some of Brad Pitt's kids. I owe him a few," he joked at Wednesday's press conference in London for his new flick "Fantastic Mr. Fox," based on Roald Dahl's book and set to open in the U.S. November 25.

The notorious ladies' man, 48, mostly recently spotted on the arm of Italian TV presenter Elisabetta Canalis, said he feels like he's skipped from the dad stage straight to granddad status.

Clooney said this seems especially so considering the fact that in the stop-motion animated "Fantastic Mr. Fox," he voices the role of the father to the character played by 29-year-old Jason Schwartzman (who recently married clothing designer Brady Cunningham).

"Just having Jason here next to me makes me feel like a father," Clooney quipped. "He just got married, so I feel like a grandfather. I'm jumping right into it. I will bring lots of kids to the red carpet."
