'Clooney's girlfriend is high maintenance', says ex

The ex-boyfriend of George Clooney's new love Sarah Larson has blasted his former partner as a high maintenance challenge.

Tommy McKaughn insists the movie star has his work cut out to keep Larson happy.

And, as the couple heads for a one-year anniversary this June, the ex admits he's still surprised former waitress Larson fell for Clooney - because she's not impressed by celebrity.

He says: "She was a hippie chick but high maintenance at the same time. She's not starstruck, and I bet he really likes that about her."

But McKaughn's comments aren't all bad - he also reveals his ex was a "nurturing soul" who loved kids and has a talent for exotic Indian dance.
