Jack O’Connell was seen cosying up to a mystery female companion as they headed to the beach for an afternoon swim in Ibiza on Saturday.
The actor, who is set to play Amy Winehouse’s husband Blake Fielder-Civil in an upcoming biopic, was seen embracing the blonde beauty while they enjoyed a dip in the ocean.
Jack, 33, showed off his shirtless physique and large cross tattoo across his torso as he and his companion emerged from the water.
The blonde was in a black high-cut bikini for the swim, after she and Jack were seen enjoying lunch together on the beach.
She previously donned a stylish striped midi dress over her two-piece as she and Jack headed down to the sand.

Jack, who is best known for his role as James Cook in the E4 drama Skins, previously transformed into Blake to star opposite Industry’s Marisa Abel in the Amy Winehouse biopic, titled Back To Black.
Despite reported complaints over the lack of a physical resemblance, bosses are said to be thrilled with Marisa’s casting thanks to her powerhouse vocals.
The source previously told The Mirror that the actress performed Amy’s son F**k Me Pumps from her debut album Frank during a scene filmed last month and blew the crew away.
The insider added that Jack is ‘unfazed’ by worries over the lack of physical resemblance and is thrilled to be a part of the project.
Amy and Blake married in Miami in 2007 and were pictured months later after a furious bust-up where it emerged they had been taking heroin.
The following year, Blake was jailed for his part in an assault on a pub landlord which led to Amy’s famous Grammy Awards tribute to, ‘my Blake, incarcerated’.
Blake filed for divorce from the singer shortly after his release.
Jack himself previously admitted he was ‘very naive’ when he started filming sex scenes for his role on the popular teen drama Skins.

Racy: Speaking to The Independent , Jack said: ‘It’s hard to say that you’re ever totally comfortable [filming sex scenes]’
Insight: ‘Listen, I admit I was very naive at the time, enough so as to not check in with myself and question myself if I was feeling comfortable or not,’ he added

‘Listen, I admit I was very naive at the time, enough so as to not check in with myself and question myself if I was feeling comfortable or not. It just felt like part and parcel of the programme in a very different time than the one we’re in now.’
But Jack says the industry has gotten a lot better when it comes to these scenes.
In another recent role, a Netflix adaptation of DH Lawrence’s 1928 novel – Lady Chatterley’s Lover – O’Connell played the eponymous lover to Emma Corrin’s Lady. Both O’Connell and Corrin appeared nude in the film.
‘I think what’s important is that them discussions are being had to make sure that whatever was happening [on] that wasn’t right, it seems, is addressed and doesn’t repeat itself’, he said.
‘You feel very compromised and if you don’t feel that you’re protected in that environment, it can be very unnecessarily daunting.’
Still, O’Connell has plenty of experience going nude for a role.
In 2017, he bared all on stage opposite Sienna Miller in a West End production of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Prior to that, he stripped off in Starred Up (2013).
