Sarah Foster has revealed that she once went on a very awkward date with George Clooney
The daughter of music producer David Foster spoke about the past event The world’s #1 podcast While talking with her sister Irene.
The 44-year-old actress said that supermodel Cindy Crawford and her husband, Rande Gerber, were behind her set-up with Clooney three decades ago.
“I got along with George Clooney almost 30 years ago. It was pointless. Sorry, I had to say that,” Foster said.
She was about 24 years old at the time, and she met Clooney along with Crawford and Gerber, but contact was immediately cut off, she said.
“It was very difficult,” she said. “I remember thinking, ‘Oh, he’s old.’”
Foster also shared her opinion on age gap relationships.
She described this dynamic as unattractive, saying, “I never understood that a 19-year-old could be a 40-year-old. I always thought that was very strange.”
She admitted she felt “humiliated” by the setup, adding: “He felt old.”
“I’m sure George Clooney is a nice guy, but I remember the four of us sitting there thinking like, ‘I’m going to die,'” she said, noting that she was already devastated by her ex.
She later clarified that Clooney was likely not behind the setup. “I don’t think George was saying, ‘Oh, set me up with Sarah Foster.'”
The date ended awkwardly when she started crying about her ex. “So I think he was like, ‘This chick’s not feeling well,'” she joked.
Foster later moved on and found love with tennis star Tommy Haas.
