Charles Dance and his girlfriend Alessandra Masi looked like they were loving life as they went on a cute stroll around London.

The Game Of Thrones star, 73, and Italian film producer, 53, were all sorts of loved-up as they went shopping and grabbed lunch at a cafe amid the mini-heatwave.

Once again, Charles managed to defy the hands of time by looking, oh, about 20 years younger than he really is?

The actor was all youthful in a navy vest, khaki shorts and trainers, while Alessandra kept things casual in patterned shorts.

The couple, who recently returned from a romantic getaway to Venice, looked smitten as they linked arms while walking down the street.

The duo met in 2018 while filming The Book Of Vision opposite Joanna Lumley, which opened at the Venice Film Festival earlier this month.

Charles and Alessandra looked seriously cute as they hit the beach and shared a smooch in the sea while in Italy at the start of the month.

The actor was previously married to Joanna Haythorn, with the pair divorcing in 2004.

It seems Charles’ active love life has got him thinking about playing a romantic lead onscreen, after years of portraying villains.

The actor, who once played a James Bond baddie, admitted: ‘A lot of the time if you do something reasonably well, you’re asked to do it again.

‘I’ve got to earn a living so I try to ring the changes as much as I can. But we’re all seen to be certain types of actors.

‘I’ll read that I tend to play villains, and I do. But there was a time when I was a romantic lead.’

Charles is currently starring in the ITV drama, The Singapore Grip, where he plays a powerful aristocrat, Mr Webb, trying to train his son Matthew (Luke Treadaway) in the family business.
