I've read the headline and article several times, then checked that the date isn't 1st April, but apparently I'm not hallucinating...

He's an 84-year-old billionaire - it's true love of course, has to be.

Tell me miss Hall what did you see in the multi billionaire who's looking older every day...

"So Ms Hall what first attracted you to the 84 year old billionaire Rupert Murdoch" To paraphrase Mrs Merton.

Gives a certain T Blair a new challenge at least 😉

@mt Jerry Hall is surely not short of cash, but who knows what goes on in these circles, it certainly seems odd. She must like the older man, no?

Do you think he'll be invited to the wedding?

For some women power is the ultimate attraction.
Vile couple.

Two very rich people, meet while doing rich people things, just like any of us but with out all the money. Genuinely interested, but once you reach 60, is 80 too old?

Yes the physical and mental differences between 60 and 70 (never mind 80) is far greater than 30 and 40.

I always saw Jerry as pretty decent no nonsense Texas girl, used to see her around Richmond quite a bit and I thought she was pretty cool on "who do you think you are". This engagement makes my stomach turn for a whole variety if reasons

Sorry, I was going for the Joe Jackson vibe as slowoldman spotted.

Ahhhhhh. Young love. The romance of an unlikely couple triumphing over adversity in their love and unstinting devotion to one another......

(Projectile vomits copiously and is left dry-retching on hands and knees).

Vile people. They deserve each other.

Maybe the physical exertion will be too much for him...

...I don't wish anyone dead, but I'd certainly see RM incapacitated.

Good luck to the pair of them.

Remember that ancient billionaire who tried to euthanize himself with Anna Nicole Smith? She was happy to do it. He was happy to have it done to him. It is a shame that the rest of his family and their lawyers didn’t agree.

Maybe Rupert has decided enough is enough and this is a more attractive option than a one way trip to Switzerland. Even at her age she probably still more than capable of killing him stone dead with a vigorous bout bedroom based Texan leg wrestling. If you are going to go you may as well do it in style and with a lady who can afford an expensive legal team to sort out the mess once the deed has been done.

Alternatively there could be a genuine attraction. He likes tall elegant younger women and she likes shrivelled-up little men, after all she was with Mick Jagger for a long time.

Spotted it too, one of my favourite artists back in the day. Was sad to miss him 10 years ago when he played Guildford Civic Hall.

Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street ....

@Harry - if they married it would be in the US with a binding prenup, the Anna Nicole case the family tried to challenge the prenup. It's an ego trip for Murdoch, I don't get it from Jerry's POW.

As has been noted elsewhere it's even more baffling when you realise she doesn't need the money.

I'm more annoyed I can't remember which Earthed DVD that song is used in. Driving me crazy it is. I know what i'll be doing this evening unless some kind soul tells me.

Mind you, I might be prepared to let him shag me for what Jerry's getting out of the deal.

I reached 60 a few years ago and yes, 80 is too old.

He's one of the few people in the world that i resent being happy so I'm against this purely on the grounds that he wants to do it. Although on the other hand his continued health and happiness does provide empirical evidence against the existence of karma. I'm so conflicted 😕

In the same vein as the "The Witch/Thatcher is Dead" threads, I am dusting off my dancing shoes in preparation.

@mt Jerry Hall is surely not short of cash, but who knows what goes on in these circles, it certainly seems odd.

BBC site says Jerry Hall is only worth $15 million compared to Murdoch's $11 billion, which means there could be a financial dimension in it for her.

I guess there's also a difference between being worth 15mill and being able to lay your hands on 15mill.

Rupert has asked for the BBC and Jerry wants a new patio.

Not sure about R Murdoch, but I don't think I'd exactly call Jerry Hall 'vile'.
Seems a tad strong.
