LOS ANGELES:

Hollywood star George Clooney and his girlfriend Sarah Larson have split up after dating for about a year, People magazine reported on its website, citing an unidentified source.

The 47-year-old actor and producer who was twice named “the sexiest man alive” by the celebrity magazine had first met Larson, 29, four years ago while she worked as a cocktail server, People said. They began dating in June 2007. Larson was the first girlfriend to accompany Clooney at the Academy Awards this year. People quoted the actor’s spokesman as saying, “We do not comment on George’s personal life.”
