'It was the most erotic experience of my life': Patsy Kensit recalls the very ... trends now
Patsy Kensit has recalled the most 'erotic' experience of her life with David Bowie when she was 16-years-old.
In a new interview with The Sunday Times, the actress and singer, 56, revealed an intimate encounter she had with the late singer while filming Absolute Beginners in 1986.
Patsy, who played Crepe Suzette in the musical alongside Bowie, who starred as Vendice Partners, told the publication: 'Bowie was just gorgeous. Heaven. I was 16 and I think he was 30 [he was actually 39]. He was so lovely to everybody and I was completely in awe.
'I was also deluded, imagining that he'd fall in love with me and we'd run off. And of course [when we met] I was in a line-up of people where he just shook my hand and then went along the line, and I was crushed.
She added: 'But then one day I was sitting in make-up and he popped his head in the door and said hi. He came over, picked up a brush and just started brushing my hair. He didn't say anything — he just brushed it, then walked away. It was the most erotic experience of my life.'

Elsewhere during the very candid chat, Patsy admitted: 'My favourite thing is a good hardware shop. It really gets me horny. It's like sex to me, to go in and find all the things that we never had growing up.'
Comedian David Baddiel previously told how one of his female friends revealed to him that she had had a 'romance' with Bowie while the singer and Mick Jagger were holidaying in Mustique. Baddiel said during a 2019 podcast that 'this woman was 16 at the time and Bowie would have been in his 40s.'
She and her best friend had one of many drinking nights with Bowie and ended up back at their shack with David.
'David was clearly keen on a threesome and had put some work in to create it. The way he did this, according to her, was to take all his clothes off and put Let's Dance on cassette and dance naked.
'It worked for David as both the girls got naked. There were sexual goings-on but she didn't sleep with David. I said: 'Why on earth would you not want to lose your virginity to David Bowie?' She replied: 'It wouldn't mean anything to him. I didn't want to do that for him, just one night.'
'Instead she went outside. David did s*** the friend, then came out and tried to make it all right with her because she was a bit p***** off.'
Back in 2019, the Mail spoke to two other women who were under the age of consent when they slept with Bowie. Lori Mattix, who had a liaison with him aged 15, explained: 'I never thought of David Bowie as a paedophile. He would f**k anything. If he liked it he would f**k it.'
Early girlfriend Dana Gillespie concurred, revealing to the Mail: 'As far as sex went, if it moved, he was there. Man, woman, old or young. Times have changed and it doesn't always look so good in black and white now, but in those days we were just having fun; there were no rules.'
It's a matter of record that he dallied with famous women including Charlie Chaplin's widow Oona, 22 years older, and actress Bette Midler, plus Bianca Jagger, Susan Sarandon and Lulu.
Bowie himself said in a 1997 radio interview: 'I was hitting on everybody. I had a wonderfully irresponsible promiscuous time.'

The sexual free-for-all characterised his open marriage to Angie, whom he wed in 1970. She wrote in her autobiography: 'David made a virtual religion of slipping the lance of love into almost everyone around him.' Some lovers they shared, others they did not. By his 1972 tour of America he was with Cyrinda Foxe, a 19-year-old model.
Dana Gillespie was a friend of both David and Angie at this time. She had met David after watching him perform at the Marquee in Soho in 1964. They had sex when she was 14, and he was 17.
He came onstage in thigh-length, fringed suede boots, with long hair. After the set he came up behind her and brushed her hair, and then asked if he could come home with her (she later worked out that this was because he was going to miss the last train back to Bromley.)
Dana told the Mail: 'I have never thought of David as someone who liked young girls in particular. He liked bright women.
'It has been suggested to me that him sleeping with me when I was 14 was 'statutory rape' but I have said to writers, look, you can't put that in because, yes, I was young but we were just having fun.
As David became more famous, he caught the attention of the notorious ‘baby groupies’ who were on the scene in Los Angeles at the time.

Led by Californian wild child Sable Starr, who had a romance with Iggy Pop when she was 13, the girls competed to bed visiting British stars.
One of their number was Lori Maddox, also known as Lori Mattix. She was 14 when she first met Bowie at the E Club on Sunset Strip and was working as a model. He was on his
