“She Looks Way Older Than Him,” Daniel Radcliffe’s Rare Public Outing with Partner Sparks Controversy

When Daniel Radcliffe and Erin Darke made their grand entrance at the Tony Awards, they electrified the entire event. The audience buzzed with excitement and anticipation, captivated not only by the couple’s striking appearance but also by the cascade of reactions their presence provoked. The atmosphere was charged with energy as everyone eagerly watched them, discussing and marveling at the impact they had on the evening.

The Harry Potter star, Daniel Radcliffe, and his partner of 12 years, Erin Darke, made a rare red-carpet appearance together this weekend. The couple, who have been together since 2012 and welcomed their first child in April of the previous year, looked deeply enamored with each other as they attended the 77th Annual Tony Awards.

The 34-year-old actor wrapped an arm around his 39-year-old girlfriend’s waist as they laughed and tenderly looked into each other’s eyes while posing for photos. He looked sharp in a lilac suit paired with a bowtie, while Erin caught everyone’s attention in a shimmering gray ball gown embellished with sequins and rhinestones, complete with a tulle skirt.

The beautiful couple received a flood of praise and compliments online. One person commented, “Gorgeous! Both of their ensembles suit them and help them shine!” while another added, “They look amazing!!”

However, the height and age difference between the couple surprised many. One observer remarked, “They’re only 5 years apart, but she looks way older than him.” Another person commented, ’’Look like mother and son. The difference in height is also embarrassing, he needs to find someone shorter than him.’’

Radcliffe and Darke fell in love while working on Kill Your Darlings in 2012. In the film, Radcliffe portrayed poet Allen Ginsberg, with Darke playing one of his lovers. In 2019, Radcliffe humorously reflected on filming a risqué scene with Darke for PeopleTV’s Couch Surfing. “It’ll be a hell of a story to tell our kids one day because of what our characters do with each other,” he said.

We’re captivated by the radiant confidence and beauty of this charming couple. Another celebrity pair making waves in recent headlines were Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, spotted with their son and daughter. Online viewers were amazed to catch a rare glimpse of the two adorable children.

Leaving Hollywood for her starry-eyed megastar, she finds that love is all you need

Barbara Bach, famously known for her role as Bond girl Triple X, wasn’t waiting for James Bond to come to her rescue; instead, she was on a quest for her own prince charming—rock legend Ringo Starr, also known as Sir Richard Starkey.

Now at the age of 77, Bach reached the zenith of her career when she starred in the 1977 film The Spy Who Loved Me, where she portrayed Anya Amasova, a complex character who was both the love interest and a rival to the charming yet womanizing 007, played by Roger Moore.

In a candid 1983 interview with People, Bach didn’t hold back her opinion about her character’s relationship with Bond, referring to him as “a chauvinist pig who uses girls to shield him against bullets”. Moore himself agreed, stating in a 1973 People interview: “Bond, like myself, is a male chauvinist pig. All my life I’ve been trying to get women out of brassieres and pants”.

Before landing her iconic role in the Bond franchise, Bach had appeared in several Italian films, including Black Belly of the Tarantula, where she shared the screen with fellow Bond actresses Claudine Auger and Barbara Bouchet.

Bach’s portrayal of the KGB agent Anya Amasova not only solidified her status as a beloved Bond girl but also opened doors to numerous opportunities in her acting career. Following her Bond debut, she starred in Mad Magazine Presents Up the Academy (1980) and Caveman (1981), where she worked alongside Ringo Starr, who played a Neanderthal vying for her affections. Interestingly, the movie’s script contrasted sharply with their actual relationship, as they only became romantically involved towards the end of filming.

In a revealing Playboy feature from 1981, Bach noted: “A lot of garbage has been written about us, none of it interesting. The truth is, we weren’t together until the very end of Caveman. Working, we got along fine, but we each had other people, our respective friends. Then, all of a sudden, within a week—the last week of shooting—it just happened. We changed from friendly love to being in love”.

In a 2021 interview with the Irish Examiner, Starr reminisced about their first encounter at Los Angeles International Airport in 1980. “I love the woman. I loved her from when I first saw her at LAX”, he shared. “I’m blessed she’s in my life, that’s all I can ever say.”

Starr, renowned as the drummer for the legendary band The Beatles, was once part of a performance at New York’s Shea Stadium in 1965, where Bach was present. However, she revealed that she wasn’t an ardent Beatles fan, attending the concert with her sister Marjorie, a passionate follower of the band. “I liked [Bob] Dylan, Ray Charles, and the Rolling Stones”, Bach remarked in a People interview from 1981.

Bach’s sister eventually married Joe Walsh, the Eagles guitarist, who later performed with Starr in the All-Starr Band. Just months after John Lennon’s tragic death, Bach and Starr tied the knot on April 27, 1981, with notable guests including Paul McCartney and George Harrison.

Their journey together hasn’t been without challenges. Just before their wedding, the couple survived a near-fatal car accident, which prompted them to vow to stay together. Starr remarked: “We decided we wouldn’t spend any time apart. So far the longest break was five days, and that was too long. I want to live every minute with Barbara”.

The couple also took a significant step together in 1988 by entering rehab, emerging sober since then. Celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary in 2021, Starr shared a nostalgic wedding photo with the caption:, “It was 40 years ago today The love of my life said yes yes yes”.

Starr and Bach’s love extends beyond their personal lives; they also have a blended family, with Starr having three children from his late wife Maureen Cox and Bach two from her former marriage to Augusto Gregorini. Together, they run the Lotus Foundation, which supports various causes, including animal welfare, substance abuse, homelessness, and cancer research. Starr donates all proceeds from his art sales to the foundation.

There’s no denying the deep affection shared between Barbara Bach and Ringo Starr, a bond that remains as strong as ever. As Bach expressed: “I love the man, and that’s it”. Starr echoed her sentiments, saying: “There’s no escape… I think I love Barbara as much (today) as I did (when we met), and I’m beyond blessed that she loves me and we’re still together”. Their inspiring love story continues to resonate, and fans eagerly anticipate what they will accomplish together in their charitable endeavors and personal lives.
