Patsy Kensit has recalled the most ‘erotic’ experience of her life with David Bowie when she was 16-years-old.
In a new interview with The Times, the actress and singer, 56, revealed an intimate encounter she had with the late singer while filming Absolute Beginners in 1986.
She told the publication: ‘Bowie was just gorgeous. Heaven. I was 16 and I think he was 30 [he was actually 39]. He was so lovely to everybody and I was completely in awe.
‘I was also deluded, imagining that he’d fall in love with me and we’d run off. And of course [when we met] I was in a line-up of people where he just shook my hand and then went along the line, and I was crushed.
She added: ‘But then one day I was sitting in make-up and he popped his head in the door and said hi. He came over, picked up a brush and just started brushing my hair. He didn’t say anything — he just brushed it, then walked away. It was the most erotic experience of my life.’

Elsewhere during the very candid chat, Patsy admitted: ‘My favourite thing is a good hardware shop. It really gets me horny. It’s like sex to me, to go in and find all the things that we never had growing up.’
Patsy also confirmed that she is still engaged to property tycoon Patric Cassidy during the interview.
The actress, who first tied the knot in 1988 when she was 22 and has been married four times, recently rekindled her romance with Patric.
Patsy is thought to have got back together with Patric last November four months after a bitter split.
The actress announced her whirlwind engagement to Patric, 56, last year but the pair split up that July. But Patsy has now confirmed they are back on and still engaged.
When asked if she was wearing an engagement ring she confirmed she was.
Patsy, who first got married in 1988 when she was 22, is divorced from Dan Donovan, from 1980s pop group Big Audio Dynamite, Simple Minds front man Jim Kerr, Liam Gallagher, and most recently, Nineties DJ Jeremy Healy.
Businessman Patric was said to have popped the question within weeks of their first date but Patsy was reportedly left ‘visibly distressed’ at a charity event in June when Patric snatched her diamond engagement ring from her hand during a row.
Just weeks later a spokesperson for Patsy told The Sun on Sunday: ‘I can confirm they have split, and would appreciate that she is given her privacy regarding the matter. She is currently very busy working.’
The actress got engaged to Patric in September 2022 but she then decided to cool things off and concentrate on work – before the got back together

An insider added to the publication: ‘The whirlwind romance has come to a halt and the couple have decided to go their separate ways.
‘They have a lot of love for one another, but ultimately, she knew that they couldn’t make it work in the long-term so felt it was best not to move forward with their relationship.
‘Patsy has lots of exciting work opportunities at the moment, and she is throwing herself into her career.’
Shortly after her split, Patsy opened up about finding love in her 50s, defining it as ‘very tricky’.
She told The Mirror that ‘relationships are different at this age’ and it was important to be ‘hopeful and grateful’.
Patsy told the publication that it’s hard to meet people, unlike in her younger days, as she is now often in bed by 9pm.
The former Holby City star said during a recent stint filming Death in Paradise in the Caribbean she turned down invites from her co-stars to go for drinks as she was ready to hit the hay.
‘By the end of it they didn’t bother asking me. The thought of going to a bar or looking for love… but these things happen when you least expect it. I got set up on a blind date so there you go. I use the word companionship’.
Adding: ‘I’m not ruling the intimacy side of things out but relationships are different at this age and it is good and OK. You have got to be hopeful and grateful’.
Then last November it was reported that they had rekindled the romance.
A source revealed: ‘Patsy loves being in a relationship and there are many things she likes about Patric so she has been quietly seeing him again to see if they can make it work.
‘Patric is very extravagant and loves to take Patsy out for nice dinners and shower her with gifts and has vowed to treat her like a princess. They decided they had too much to lose not to give their romance another go.’
The former singer is well-known for her somewhat entangled love life, after saying ‘I Do’ four times before (pictured with ex-husband Liam Gallagher in 1995)
The source added that despite it still being ‘early days’, the couple had been ‘enjoying each other’s company’.
When approached by MailOnline for a comment, Patsy’s representatives responded ‘no comment’.

Her most high-profile relationship with Oasis’ Liam resulted in her third marriage, which saw them part ways in 2000 – but the pair share son Lennon, 24, together.
While Patsy is also mother to son James, 30, from her second marriage to Jim Kerr, which ended in 1995.
