Jessica Chastain may have stolen the show in a cleavage-baring gown at the premiere for Salome & Wilde Salome, but co-star Al Pacino had eyes only for his 35-year-old girlfriend, Lucila Sola.
Pacino, who directed and starred in the film, tells me: ‘Lucila has been around since it started — we’ve been together for seven years and she says to me, ‘Will you ever stop cutting this film?’
‘But as for wedding bells, no, we don’t go there yet!’
Despite a number of long-term relationships and three children, 74-year-old Pacino, who is estimated to be worth £85 million, has famously never married. John Cleese, also 74 and on wife No 4, should take note.
Having donated millions to the Conservatives, hedge-fund tycoon Sir Michael Hintze found some spare change for a game of tennis.
The 61-year-old philanthropist is giving £180,000 to transform two derelict grass courts at the Royal Navy Lawn Tennis Association’s facilities in Portsmouth into all-weather courts with floodlighting. ‘Sir Michael is a keen tennis player and has fond memories of his own days in the Australian armed forces,’ one of the billionaire’s friends tells me.
In May, it was announced that Hintze, a regular on the courts at Queen’s Club, had handed the Tories their single biggest donation in six years with a £1.5 million gift, Daily Mail informs.
