Who’s that? She’s gorgeous, and she’s blonde.” She’s probably only the second blonde I’ve ever been out with in my life.

We’ll have some dinners and stuff.” And she said, “That’s so sweet. American guys really don’t say that.” I didn’t tell her I was an actor – I said a writer. So we courted and dated and had a lovely, lovely time, and it’s just been fantastic.’
