George Clooney is a truly worldwide superstar - but there is only one place he wants to settle down.
The silver fox, who owns properties around the globe, bought a £10million nine-bedroom estate in Berkshire 14 months ago with wife Amal .
And he sees himself "growing old and grey" with the glamorous human rights lawyer when his creative fires dim.
He spoke to OK! magazine about the chances of him relocating to England from sunny Los Angeles, and admitted that it wasn't imminent.
“Not in the near future. But in the long run that’s a house where I can imagine living with my wife and getting old and grey," he said.

“When I speak about old and grey, I’m only referring to myself!”
Late 17th-century Georgian mansion is in the sleepy hamlet of Sonning, next to the River Thames near the Oxfordshire border.
Clooney, 54, began to look for properties in the area after visiting the Buckinghamshire village of Fingest while filming The Monuments Men.
He and Amal have been seen eating dinner in local pub The Bull Inn and spending time together in local shops and theatres.

Their neighbours include Home Secretary Theresa May, illusionist Uri Geller and legendary guitarist Jimmy Page, a founding member of Led Zeppelin.
Locals were up in arms last year at the amount of building work being carried out on the Grade II-listed property , with the Clooneys adding a 60ft swimming pool , cinema and tennis court among other luxuries as part of a massive renovation and expansion.

Mansion is secluded and more than a little leafy  
The Clooneys also wanted to install CCTV cameras on eight wooden 18ft poles, but those had to be reduced in height after planning permission was denied.



The house's garden was flooded when the Thames burst its banks in January, just as a pool house in the grounds was about to be completed.
George's LA pad is a secluded property with 3.16-acre grounds in Fryman Canyon.
He also owns Villa Oleandra, an 18th Century lakeside villa in Laglio on the shores of Italy’s Lake Como, but is said to have become fed up with paparazzi and tourists trying to snap him and Amal when they reside within.

But then, I never thought he'd get married, so who know?!
