LOS ANGELES, May 10 (UPI) -- Sarah Larson is not intimidated by dating George Clooney, despite the filmmaker's global fame and good looks, the former realty TV star says.

The 29-year-old, who appeared on the TV game show, "Fear Factor," said if she had met the "Ocean's Thirteen" star on a reality series, romance would likely not have been on her mind, People.com said Friday.

"If George had been on a reality show, I don't think I'd have talked to him," Larson said of her 47-year-old boyfriend. "It would have been like, 'That's nice.'"

"I see him as a normal person, like anyone else," she said. "He just happens to have a well known face."

Larson admitted that meeting major world leaders through her relationship with the former "ER" star is something she is still getting used to, People.com said.

"I don't get star-struck, but meeting people like (the Dalai Lama), I get star-struck," Larson said.
