Sarah Larson's First Interview Since Split: "Still Friends" With George Clooney, Loves Her Cats

Sarah Larson, the 29-year-old Vegas bartender/model who dated George Clooney for a little over a year before they broke up in May, has given her first post-split interview in this week's Hello! Magazine. Here are some highlights:

On her ex:

"George is a great guy, a wonderful person. I don't regret spending time with him and he's a great person to get to know. We still remain friends and have kept in touch. In fact, we spoke over the phone a couple of days ago. He's fun to be around, down to earth, laid back, funny and smart."

On the engagement rumors:

"We were never engaged."

On what she'll miss most:

"Most people know George has a great sense of humour and is an adept storyteller, but I will always miss his extraordinary dance moves."

On what the future holds:

"I have a lot of great opportunities, doors that have opened, and I have no complaints....I make good money. I have a house. I have all the things I've always wanted. I'm in a good place....I've had some amazing offers come in, including one modeling campaign that may bring me to England soon....I can't talk about it yet because it's not a done deal. I hope it happens because I've never been to England and I'd love to spend some time there....If I do end up there I could find a nice British boy. I'd be open to the idea. I hear they have a good sense of humour."

On the two men in her life right now:

"They're very dark and have lots of hair and weigh 15 lbs," referring to her cats Lippy and Animal.

She's going to Britain to be a scarf model.


The length of her neck is ... improbable.

WHO GIVES A SH*T about these people. Do they care about YOU??

[gr8abz]

So what am I doing here? I dunno.

George is one of those guys who won't remarry until he is damn good and ready. You can't force someone like him to marry you. It always backfires. I see him running for offic one day, settling down, not marrying someone who shares his vision, political views, goals and ideals. He isn't a fool, not anyone's meal ticket, can spot a liar and gold digger a mile away. In truth, he is really very bright. Why should he settle for someone who isn't in it for the long haul, tie him down, and try to turn him into what he doesn't want to be?
I respect him. I have a feeling he told her he wasn't the marrying kind, she wasn't paying attention and he did what he had to do. If he is happy single is that really a crime? Does that automatically make him Gay? The answer to both is No and No. If he was a woman, people would pull the gay card, becuase he isn't in a permanent relationship. Its BS. Let the guy live as he chooses.

[condieshoes]

Yup, blueandgreen I'd take a year with George. Marriage? phhhhhhf.

[CammyV]

So many women don't truly 'hear' their guy when he says he'll never marry. They feel that once the relationship blossoms and has longevity, that he will change his mind, that she is the ONE. If he says he's not getting married, he probably means it.

[marymansour]

I have always felt that George Clooney is gay. He's a great fellow, attractive and globally aware but I think these women are beards. This may be why he lives in a remote area of Italy so the paparazzi aren't always in his face.

[NEANDERTHALL]

We'd LOVE to claim him, alas no vibrations on the ole Gaydar.

[steviec]

Gee, she's learned some big words since he dumped her..guess her friends who said she was devastated were all liars. The only thing this wannabe could do to rate news coverage is to actually change the expression on her frozen face. How long will she continue to use his name to cling to her f level celebrity?

[monique]

Well then Stevie, I suggest you search and find better things to read, with much bigger words, stories that require a very complex and deep intellect to fully absorb.

Wouldn't want you to be wasting your valuable time being unnecessarily cruel or anything like that -- you know what I mean?

[johnnygoodwud]

are all these good looking actors shrimpboats?

[JJI]

Well "cat" is one word for what he loved about her.

[impatient]

I thnk she's still hoping....

[stringer]

Say what you want about George Clooney but women who date him all:
1) Know what they're getting into
2) Generally leave the relationship better than they went in, either in terms of money or fame. As most of them are involved in the entertainment industry that should be a positive.
3) Leave the relationship extremely complimentary of him.

I don't see the problem.

In the modern world that only makes sense. He's made it clear he's not going to get married and is not interested in anything long-term (a year or two is amazing for Clooney). He seems to date fairly independent, strong women. Sounds fair to me.

[BlueandGreen]

I'd settle for a year with George!

[rzan1]

She is a beautiful and seemingly intelligent young woman. What would she want with a rapidly aging, short, no longer terribly attractive man. She is better off without him.

[jp5472]

Short? 5'11" is short? Since when? Rapidly aging? He's 47 and has a young face still, retained his own hair, stays in great physical shape (actually made himself look more "typical" for the role in Syriana). He has aged gracefully and is a definite rarity (compare him to most men in the late 40's age bracket as easy evidence). As far as Sarah Larson, I actually thought she would be the one to make him throw aside the "no marriage" pledge he made after his marriage ended, but it wasn't to be. Here's hoping the best for her in the future in all areas. For those who think she's using this to market herself, etc, I would say to rethink that as the press themselves will be after her for a while longer trying to get a story (or make one) out of the jilted ex-girlfriend of Clooney.

[impatient]

George is like Fine Wine. He gets better and better with age.

[tiger313]

It's odd, I get that he is attractive, but he does nothing for me. Why is the focus always on long term relationships or marriage? What is wrong with just dating for a day or for a year? Not to put down LTR or marriage, but as soon as people are coupled it's expected that the next step is marriage.
