They say that age is just a number, and legendary Dame Joan Collins is proving just that with her fifth husband, the dashing Percy Gibson, who’s 32 years her junior. The iconic British actress, who is a living legend from the Golden Age of Hollywood, is showing no signs of slowing down, and her love life is as spicy as ever!
At the age of 90, Dame Joan is celebrating her 19th book, “Behind The Shoulder Pads,” an upcoming UK tour for her new one-woman show, and, if that’s not enough, she marked her 20th anniversary with the love of her life, Percy Gibson, 58. And here’s the juicy tidbit – she famously describes him as the ‘best lover’ she’s ever had in her tell-all memoir!
But wait, there’s more! In an exclusive interview with the Daily Mirror, Dame Joan spilled the tea about her sensational romance in a way she never has before. After years of enduring ribbing about her ‘toy boy’ hubby, Joan stands proud and confident by her man. Percy, who is 32 years her junior, has proven that it’s not always third time’s the charm, sometimes it takes a fifth to hit the jackpot! Dame Joan couldn’t help but gush, “Everyone says how lucky I am. And how good he’s looking right now!” She admitted, “It is fifth time lucky. I’ve been feeling that for years. He’s a wonderful, kind, truly good man. He’s my – what’s the thing he always says? – my accomplice, yes, and my best friend. Plus he’s extremely handsome – and he just gets better and better.”
But let’s rewind to where it all began. The pair first crossed paths back in 2000, and it was a match made in Hollywood heaven. Dame Joan, then 67 and touring the US, was swept off her feet by Percy, a 36-year-old divorced producer of Peruvian and Scottish descent. At the time, she was entangled with actor Robin Hurlstone, and it led to a messy marital affair and a break-up that had the gossip mills working overtime.
Yet, their love story didn’t follow a conventional script. Percy and Joan became best friends first, which, as we all know, is the secret recipe for a successful love story. Their connection was undeniable, and in 2002, they decided to take the plunge and tie the knot in a lavish ceremony at London’s iconic Claridge’s. Percy, in his moving wedding speech, declared, “Joan is my accomplice, my comrade, my confessor, my confidant, my fearless leader and my most loyal supporter, my very best friend.”
Joan Collins and Percy Gibson’s love story is living proof that age is but a number when it comes to matters of the heart. Their romance sizzles with passion and defies all expectations. So here’s to Dame Joan Collins and her age-defying, heartwarming, and oh-so-spicy love affair with Percy Gibson. Cheers to love, Hollywood style! 💕💍🌟
