George Clooney has lavished praise on his wife Mia Alamuddin.

The actor ended years of bachelorhood when he tied the knot with the British lawyer last year.

Speaking at the premiere of new film Tomorrowland, the 54-year-old says he is on cloud nine after getting married.

He said: "There were all the jokes and the bits and I get all that stuff, but I couldn't be happier right now.

"I wake up in the morning and I think, 'This couldn't be better'."

Alamuddin added about fame: "I'm used to it as much as you can get used to it. I mean, this gets a little nutty. It's tricky sometimes walking outside of a hotel and having people follow you and stuff.

"It's hard to still practice law. Sometimes it is, but she's handling it really well."
