Sara Foster recounted a disastrous blind date with George Clooney that occurred about 30 years ago when she was around 24. The setup was reportedly orchestrated by Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber. Foster described the date as "blah" and immediately felt a strong negative impression, finding Clooney to be "so old." She expressed feeling "offended" by the matchmaking attempt because of the perceived age difference, stating that the dynamic of younger women dating much older men has never resonated with her.
During the date, Foster admitted to crying about an ex-boyfriend to Clooney, which she believes may have made him hesitant about the potential match. She also suggested that the initiative for the setup likely came from Crawford and Gerber rather than Clooney himself. Foster later moved on to a long-term relationship with tennis player Tommy Haas, with whom she co-parents their two daughters. George Clooney eventually married Amal Clooney in 2014.
