It’s Michael Caine v David Haye

Posted by Jane Murphy

People, stop the senseless fighting!

Here’s septuagenarian superstar Michael Caine squaring up to cheeky young upstart David Haye, the newly anointed WBA Heavyweight champion. But don’t worry, folks - they were only messing about for the cameras…

The occasion? Last night’s London premiere of Harry Brown, in which Michael plays a vigilante pensioner on a run-down council estate. (Sounds like the kind of film where the laughs just keep on coming, doesn’t it?)

Anyway, Mike and Dave weren’t the only high-profile double act on the red carpet. Him-off-EastEnders Larry Lamb and son George showed up, too…

…as did Her-off-Hollyoaks Hannah Tointon and her former soap siren sister Kara…

But look who didn’t get the memo saying, “Two’s company - three’s a crowd”…

Yep, Phil ‘Twinkletoes’ Tufnell brought wife Dawn and Strictly Come Dancing partner Katya Virshila along. Now, that’s just greedy.

The rather eclectic guest list also included actor John Hurt, Bond girl Gemma Arterton, veteran broadcaster Sir David Frost, former Rolling Stone Bill Wyman, DJ and cockney rhyming slang Pete Tong and most of Spandau Ballet. True!
