OK, let’s be honest. I cannot claim that Clint is a friend of mine… but I did buy him a drink in my Stringfellows Beverly Hills club in 1991. He came in with Charlie Sheen and I bought them both a beer (I tried champagne but he didn’t want that all he wanted was a beer.

I was so star struck that I went on the microphone to announce to a big celebrity crowd that Clint Eastwood was in the club and about to leave when I will always remember saying “Ladies and gentlemen, may I say thank you and good night to East Clintwood. “

OK what’s the point of telling you this? Well, Bella and I were at La Caprice restaurant last week when just as we were entering he was leaving. Sadly I was in the restaurant before I realised it was him.

You want to know - did he come to the club afterwards? Sadly no. He went off to Guy Ritchie’s pub - the Punch Bowl in Mayfair… Thought you might like to know that.
