Alice And Ioan In A Blog

[annee]

Elizabeth Mahon mentions Ioan and Alice in her blog.

This is Ioan Gruffud (pronounced Yo-an Griffith). He's Welsh and adorable. Perhaps you've seen in Fantastic Four which was a piece of crap but he was lovely in it. Or the Hornblower movies on A&E, where he's stalwart and handsome. Sort of the naval equivalent of Sharpe.

He's now the new face for Burberry London for Men. If you buy the new issue of Vanity Fair with Tom, Katie and Suri on the cover, you can see his lovely ads with the equally beautiful Rachel Weisz. I often like to spritz myself with Burberry London when I'm in Sephora just to remind myself of my spiritual home.

I once had the privilege of seeing Mr. Gruffud at the Ivy, a rather posh restaurant in the West End of London. He was having dinner with his now fiancee Alice Evans, whom he starred with in 102 Dalmatians and Man about Town, Nicky Haslam. We made eye contact and he smiled at me. Sigh!

Can I just say that he's just as lovely in person as he appears in these pictures?

So since it's Friday, and it's quite nasty out and I still have to finish the second chapter of my WIP, I leave you with these lovely photos of Ioan.

Thanks for reading!
