Clooney's visit to elderly fan

He's set to welcome the pitter-patter of tiny feet with his wife Amal later this year.

Yet, George Clooney took a break from looming baby duty as he made one lucky fan's birthday extra special by visiting her at her care home on Sunday near Reading.

The 55-year-old Ocean's Eleven actor made one of the elderly residents, Pat Adams, dreams come true as he stopped by to wish her very happy 87th birthday after he was contacted by the care home's staff through their Wish upon a Star programme.

After receiving a number of letters from staff as well as the care home's newsletter, the five-time Golden Globe winner - who resides near the residence - stopped by the Sunrise Senior Living of Sonning much to the team's and Pat's disbelief.

A true class act, George - who was without other half Amal for the occasion - greeted Pat with a bouquet of flowers and card that left her beaming from ear-to-ear on the shock visit to the care facility.

Linda Jones, a worker at the retirement and assisted living facility, posted a picture of the beaming pair on Facebook.

She wrote: 'The lady in the picture, loves George Clooney and mentions everyday how she would love him to meet him, especially as he lives so near to where I work.

'So letter have been sent asking would it be possible for her dream to come true. And what was extra special it was her birthday in the week.'

Staff added Pat was 'delighted and surprised when George greeted her with a bouquet of flowers and card', after the Gravity star turned up unannounced.

Speaking to MailOnline, Malcolm Hague, Divisional Support General Manager at Sunrise of Sonning, said: 'We are so delighted that Pat’s wish came true.

'She was absolutely thrilled to meet her great icon, and it was such a lovely surprise to see George greet her with flowers and a card.

Before adding: 'This was a classy gesture from a wonderful man, and it has brought smiles to everyone. Huge thank you to George.'

George's generous appearance comes ahead of the impending arrival of his twin with his 39-year-old human rights lawyer love - who he married in 2014.
