Larsen is described as having a calm and monotone demeanor yet can be aggressive, and he is sometimes considered mean on the field. He describes his early life as being the middle of five children, with an older sister, Kristin, and older brother, Brian, and a younger brother, Chris, and sister, Melissa, with a 15-year age difference between his closest siblings. Off the field, he enjoys fishing and has said that after football he would like to be a competitive fisherman. It was fishing that led him, on April 27, 2011, to rescue three young kayakers off Honeymoon Island. Larsen was with his girlfriend on his 24-foot boat; fishing in the choppy gulf waters right off the island. It was around 3 PM when he heard the Coast Guard signal that the three kayakers were in need of some help. Upon hearing this, he realized he was close to the area and plucked the two kayaks and three kayakers onto his boat and took them to shore. The young men did not know who had saved them but were grateful. Larsen said later "It was good to help them. It just felt like it was a good thing to do." With his teammates Larsen likes to do help out those in need. Since joining the team he has helped with the Metropolitan Ministries preparing food and spending time with children, volunteered his time with the Buccaneers’ annual Halloween Celebrations, distributed food for Thanksgiving, sang for hospital patients during the holidays, and surprised single mothers with gifts during the Christmas holiday.
