Clooney's special beach hut

George Clooney has had a custom-made beach hut installed on the set of his latest movie.

The Hollywood heartthrob is currently shooting new film Gravity at London's Shepperton Studios and to make sure he can relax in privacy when he gets time off, he requested a luxury chill-out complex.

A source told The Sun newspaper: 'George has really brought a bit of California to London.

'His private area is amazing and is better than most people's houses.

'Because he's such a big star he can request pretty much whatever he wants and he usually gets it. Scene builders can build anything on a film set - and that goes for facilities for the actors too. It's quite a sight.'

As well as relaxing, George, 50, has also had a basketball court installed so he can get some regular exercise.

But it's not just George who's allowed in the private complex, his co-star Sandra Bullock and her 16-month-old son Louis are regular visitors.

The source added: 'George lets Louis play on his decking and has a right laugh with him. He is big mates with Sandra, they've known each other for years.'
