Patsy Kensit’s secret love affair
Speaking to The Sun back in January, Patsy revealed that she enjoyed some “lost months” with the late Terence Stamp.
Terence, best known for his Oscar-nominated role in the 1960s hit Billy Budd, and as the villainous General Zod in the iconic Superman movies from the 1970s, died last summer aged 87.
In 1991, he starred in Prince of Shadows, a Spanish crime thriller mystery. It was during the filming of this movie that Terence, then in his early 50s, enjoyed a romance with his 23-year-old co-star, Patsy.
“I had a lost few months with Terence when I was very young, but it was all a dream, and he was the perfect gentleman. I first met him at a dinner party in Chelsea through a girlfriend. I was sitting next to him on the table plan and had read all of his books, The Stamp Collection Cookbook. He was such a great writer, so I was a bit of a superfan. He was probably the most beautiful man I’d ever seen,” Patsy said.

A few weeks later, Patsy signed up to play the role of Rebecca, a prostitute, in the Spanish movie. Bosses initially planned to have Anthony Hopkins star alongside her; however, he was unavailable.
Patsy then suggested Terence as a replacement, and producers “jumped” at the opportunity.
“So as soon as we knew we were going to do the movie together, he took me to a fish restaurant called Greens, and he had the most beautiful eyes, stunning blue. On location, our friendship grew stronger and more intense. We had several love scenes in the film — shooting them is never sexy, but having said that, it can feel intimate,” she then said.
Patsy went on to say that their connection grew throughout filming, and Terence would take her out to several restaurants in Madrid.

Continuing, Patsy said, “We were star-crossed lovers, and he was a total gentleman. Even though there was an age gap, we had a strong bond. He was an amazing and generous lover.”
She also recalled how he would write her “wonderful love letters” which she still has in storage, as she “couldn’t bear to part with them”.
Terence also sent Patsy’s mum letters while she was dying of cancer, encouraging her to consume certain supplements and foods – a fact the star only found out after her passing.
After filming, Patsy continued dating Terence, where he took her to several restaurants and museums.
However, she had to end their “beautiful” fling, as she had to leave London to film Timebomb in LA.
Patsy went on to marry her second husband, Jim Kerr, a year later, before divorcing in 1997. She has also been married to Liam Gallagher and the DJ, Jeremy Healey.
Meanwhile, Terence tied the knot with Elizabeth O’Rourke in 2002, though their marriage was short-lived, as they split in 2008.
