Updated 12.50 Tue Mar 11 2008

George Clooney has denied rumours that he's engaged to longtime girlfriend Sarah Larson.

The Michael Clayton star, who owns a villa in the Italian town of Laglio, was believed to have popped the question to Larson, 28, after a local restaurant worker was quoted as saying: "They haven't made any announcement yet, but there are people in this town who know more than me. They say the couple are already engaged."

The 46-year-old vowed never to marry again he divorced his wife of four years, Talia Baslam, in 1993

But a spokesman for Clooney has been quoted as saying: "(There's) no truth to any element of this story."

The 46-year-old vowed never to marry again he divorced his wife of four years, Talia Baslam, in 1993.

He recently admitted he is still against the idea, saying: "I said those things in 1993 and it has kind of stuck with me ever since. The truth is that it's not a consideration."
