Hollywood hunk George Clooney is going to move home - because he found out he lives just 300 yards from pop wreck Britney Spears.

The Oscar nominated star has revealed he had no idea he lived so close to the Toxic singer until the media frenzy happened the night she was hospitalised.

Now Clooney insists he is looking for a new home because he can't cope with all the press swarming the area.

Clooney told the Huffington Post: "I'd gone upstairs, and I came out and I'm in a robe. All of the sudden I see all this s*** going on.

"I have a guest house where my assistant sometimes is, and I think, someone has broken out of prison and like escaped, because it's a chase scene. It's something out of Die Hard.

"I get my baseball bat, which is what you always get in every film - and I called up my assistant, who I thought was in the guest house, and I said, 'Are you OK?'

"And she's like, 'Yes.' And I said, 'Look, if there's someone in the place, say the word Stonehenge.'

"And she's like, 'What the f--k are you talking about? I'm in my apartment.' "I go, 'You're not in the guesthouse?' "'No.' "So I'm, like, 'Well, then, what the f*** is going on?' And I go out and I'm running around with a baseball bat in my robe.

"And it turns out it's Britney Spears' house is like, 300 yards from mine. So now I have to move."
