Clooney has fun with his Oscar

George Clooney had fun with his Best Supporting Actor Oscar - by using it as a photo prop at his mansion in Italy.

The movie star took his Academy Award to Europe with him as he chilled out after the Oscars - and insisted all visitors posed with it.

He says: "There's always great people who stop by. So whoever came by I made them take a picture… and they all had to give, like, their own made-up acceptance speech. There's some really funny pictures."

Those that feature among Clooney's snapshots include revered US newsman Walter Kronkite.
