Sara Foster George Clooney Date: Why the 'Sexiest Man Alive' Felt Like a 'Grandpa'

What happens when you go on a date with the world's most eligible bachelor and all you can think about is how old he is? Sara Foster, producer of the hit series Nobody Wants This, recently shared a hilarious and brutally honest account of her long-lost date with George Clooney.

Sara Foster George Clooney Date: A 'Blah' Encounter

On a recent episode of 'The World's First Podcast', the 44-year-old producer dropped a bombshell. About 20 years ago, when she was just 24, supermodel Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber tried to play matchmaker. According to Foster, the meeting was a "hard no" from the start. "I remember just thinking, 'Oh, he is so old,'" Foster admitted, noting that Clooney felt more like a "grandpa" than a romantic interest at the time.

The date wasn't just awkward because of the age gap; Foster was also mourning a recent breakup. "I started crying about my ex to him," she revealed, speculating that Clooney likely thought she wasn't "okay." While Foster's sister Erin called him the "heartthrob of America," Sara simply couldn't get past the feel of the encounter, which she described as depressing.

Clooney’s Perspective on Aging

Decades later, George Clooney, now 64, seems to agree with the sentiment of shifting generations. During recent promotion for his Netflix projects, he mentioned he no longer feels the need to compete with leading men in their 20s. He's happily married to Amal Clooney and focuses more on his work and family than maintaining his 'young heartthrob' status.
