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. I sat down and started talking to her and she was lovely, very sweet, very smart – and not in the business, thank God.”

‘I just said, “I would very much like to court you,” and she said, “Oh my God! What does courting mean?” So I said, “Well, it’s what we do. 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.’
