Exclusive:Patsy Kensit recalls the most ‘erotic’ experience of her life with David Bowie when she was 16: ‘I was completely in awe’

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 Times, the actress and singer, 56, revealed an intimate encounter she had with the late singer while filming Absolute Beginners in 1986.

She 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.’
