Just as Rufus Sewell has revealed he is engaged to an actress 30 years his junior, here comes another British actor hand in hand with a girlfriend young enough to be his daughter.
Sherwood star David Morrissey, 59, stepped out in London last week with theatrical agent Larah Simpson, 31, who is just four years older than his eldest son Albie.
The age gap is similar to that between twice-married The Diplomat star Sewell, 56, and New Yorker Vivian Benitez, 27.

Father-of-three Morrissey separated from novelist Esther Freud – daughter of artist Lucian Freud – after 26 years in 2020.
Last year, The Mail on Sunday revealed Esther had found love with Gerry Simpson, a London School of Economics professor. Despite sharing his name, Larah is not believed to be related.

Temperley sells up
Although her dresses can cost up to £6,000, designer Alice Temperley and her company have been struggling financially for years.
Now she has sought outside help and her brand, Temperley London, has sold a majority stake to Dubai-based investment firm Times Square Group. Alice, 48, who has an MBE for services to the fashion industry and once said she wanted her brand to be a more eccentric and British version of Ralph Lauren, says: ‘We have been through really tricky times. I am incredibly excited about this new journey with Times Square Group and look forward to spending even more time in the UAE.’
