When the world heard that George Clooney is single after his recent split from model Elisabetta Canalis, rumours about his sexuality went into overdrive.

But his close friend has dismissed rumours that 'Hollywood's most eligible bachelor' is gay.



Businessman Manuele Malenotti, said the 50-year-old Hollywood star had broken up with glamorous model, simply because he did not want to settle down and have children.

"I have known George for ten years, I have spent a lot of time with him and a lot of women have passed through his life," he said.
