Amal and George Clooney are proud new parents, but it's not exactly what you think. The Hollywood couple recently adopted a new dog named Einstein, and now the big screen actor is opening up about their new family member, and how he's a "fine eater" with a picky palate.

Xpose on Monday reports that the lucky canine has been spending a lot of time at George's Lake Como estate in Italy and has acquired a fashion for good, quality Italian food. In fact, George says that Einstein is even living "the beautiful life" with him now that he is part of the Clooney family.

He said, "He's grown to love Italian good," before adding that he was lucky to adopt him at age 5, as he's already been housebroken. What's more, he's also a more practical dog and much easier to take care of than a newborn puppy.

In a new book titled My Old Dog: Rescued Pets With Remarkable Second Acts, George explained, "He was housetrained and had a great attitude. Age doesn't matter."

The Hollywood star also revealed that he was nervous when he and Amal first brought the pup home from the shelter, as he was worried that Einstein wouldn't like him.

He said, "I start to panic that Einstein is not going to like me. So I run into the kitchen, where I have these turkey meatballs, and I rub them all over my shoes. Who knew Einstein was such a food wh--e on top of everything? He throws himself at my feet.''

While George and Amal definitely have their hands full with Einstein, it's been long rumored that the couple is also considering starting another kind of family soon, too. Rumors have been persistent that the Human Rights lawyer is either pregnant or looking to get pregnant in the near future with the couple's first child.

George and Amal tied the knot last year in a lavish, star-studded ceremony in Venice. The couple celebrated their one-year anniversary this past September.
