George Clooney has denied attending one of Silvio Berlusconi's 'bunga bunga' sex parties but claims the Italian leader did show him his double bed.
Speaking for the first time about the incident the actor said he had gone to meet Mr Berlusconi in Rome to discuss the possibility of Italy providing helicopters for the relief effort in Sudan.
But he told the Time magazine website the Italian Prime Minister seemed far more interested in socialising and begged him to stick around for a party.

He claimed 75-year-old Berlusconi led him up to his bedroom to show off a double bed given to him by Vladimir Putin.
Clooney said: 'I've had one evening with Berlusconi and it was one of the more astonishing evenings of my life.
'I went to speak about Darfur. I'd done my homework.
'He took me to see his bedroom and the bed that Putin gave him. It became a very different evening than anyone thought.
Berlusconi is accused of abusing the office of Prime Minister and paying for sex with an underage prostitute.
'I was like "I have to go" and he was saying "where are you going there's going to be a party", and I was like 'No, I gotta go, I really do.'
Berlusconi's lawyers want the actor to appear as a witness during the Italian Prime Minister's trial.

Clooney, who owns an 18th century villa in Northern Italy, flatly denied attending the event claiming the only time he has met with the Italian leader was at the 2008 meeting in Rome.

He said he would be happy to give evidence on behalf of Berlusconi.
