It looks like George Clooney could be marrying his fiance Amal Alamuddin in Venice in Italy, within the next two weeks.

The US actor made the announcement at a charity event in Florence in Italy, where he picked up an award for his humanitarian work.

The 53-year-old star let his plans slip during his acceptance speech at the Celebrity Fight Night event, saying "I met my lovely bride-to-be here in Italy, whom I will be marrying in a couple of weeks, in Venice of all places."

Clooney and Beirut-born London lawyer Amal Alamuddin announced their engagement in April.
