Sarah Larson Moving On After Breakup With George Clooney

Sarah Larson, who spent the last year dating actor George Clooney, is moving on after their recent breakup.

According to People.com, Larson's friend, Jennifer Morss, said Larson is a strong, smart girl who will make it through pretty much anything. Clooney, 47, and Larson, 29, split last month after dating for a year.

Morss, who is the executive director of Aid for AIDS of Nevada, said Larson tried not letting being in the limelight affect her. Morss was referring to the fact that dating Clooney came with an international set of fans, paparazzi, red carpets, movie premieres and a cast of famous friends.

Morss said about Larson, "Your whole life changes overnight, but she maintained that down-to-earth [quality]. She as a person never changed - she would say, 'Yes, I'm dating George, but I want to be known for Sarah.'"

Morss said Larson has been involved with the Aid for AIDS of Nevada charity for about four years and recently helped raise over $25,000 for the event through friends. "It's hard in this world to find people who are so authentic," Morss told People.com.
