The 51-year-old was filming a new Android smartphone advert on the beach with a retriever.

In 2010, Clooney adopted an overweight dog who was suffering with an under-active thyroid from Los Angeles's Camp Cocker dog rescue centre.

The staff at Camp Cocker told Clooney he could only take Einstein home if the dog liked him first.

Fortunately, Clooney blackmailed his way into Einstein's heart by rubbing meatballs on his shoes.

Clooney once told Esquire magazine: 'Forever, now, he just thinks of me as the guy with the meatball feet.

'He loves me. I can do no wrong. He follows me everywhere.'

Clooney previously owned two bulldogs called Bud and Lou and a pot-bellied pig called Max.
