She is talking about a date that happened 20 years ago, so he was around 44 years old. She's the same age today.

Speaking on the January 15 episode of her The World’s First Podcast, Foster — who is the daughter of acclaimed composer and music mogul David Foster — explained that some friends hooked her up with the Ocean’s Eleven actor decades ago.
“It was such a blah,” the 44-year-old recalled, per the Daily Mail. “Sorry, I had to say it.”
At the time, Foster said she was around 24, which would put Clooney, now 64, at around 44 years old. She described the date as “such a hard ‘no,’” and noted her first impression was that “he is so old.”
“I’m sure George Clooney is a nice guy, but I just remember it being the four of us sitting there and thinking like, ‘I’m gonna die, like I’m gonna die,” Foster said. “Then, here’s this one who just feels like a grandpa. It was depressing. I was so depressed.”
It turns out the date was orchestrated by her friends Cindy Crawford and her husband, Rande Gerber. The group went out on a double date and she said things were disastrous from the start. Specifically, she recalls crying about her ex-boyfriend that night to none other than the man she was supposed to be on a date with.
