George Clooney's girlfriend is "high-maintenance", according to her ex-lover.

Clooney, who met waitress Sarah Larson last June when she served him drinks at the Ocean's Thirteen premiere in Las Vegas, has been warned she is a strong-willed, independent woman.

Tommy McKaughn, who dated Larson for six years, revealed: "She's not star struck and I bet George really likes that about her.

"If he's ready for a high-maintenance challenge then I would say go for it."

McKaughn claims Larson, 29, was a free spirit, who enjoyed playing the bongos and performing exotic Indian dances.

He added to website E! Online: "She was a hippie chick but high-maintenance at the same time."

McKaughn also warned Clooney that Larson holds grudges, and once confiscated his Jerry Garcia CDs after he forgot her birthday.

However, McKaughn believes Sarah's liberal political views and "nurturing soul" make her the perfect woman to tame George, who is famed for his bachelor lifestyle.

Last month, the Michael Clayton star asked Larson to move into his Hollywood Hills mansion. He is also reported to have told her he is ready to settle down.

A source said: "Sarah feels her biological clock is ticking and wants to get pregnant by the time she's 30, so that has influenced George a lot.

"He has dated so many women and he doesn't want to lose this one along with all the others."
