Helena Bonham Carter On Her New Boyfriend

Helena Bonham Carter has told of her relationship with new beau Rye Dag Holmboe and how she doesn't have any concerns about their age gap.

The actress, aged 53, is enjoying her time with the 32 year-old writer and told the Sunday Times: "Everybody ages at a different rate. My boyfriend is unbelievably mature. He's an old soul in a young body, what more could I want?

"People are slightly frightened of older women, but he isn't. Women can be very powerful when they're older.

"Why can't we be sexually and romantically attractive just when our eggs are expired? Actually it's much more fun because we're so freed of the terror, there is no consequence, it's all just for fun."

Helena has two sons, 16 year-old Billy and Neil, aged 11, with her filmmaker husband Tim Burton and said her boyfriend has already formed a healthy relationship with them.

She explained: "The person who's being introduced, they've got to do the work too.

"It won't work unless the other person realises he's got to have different, separate relationships with the children as well.

"One thing about my boyfriend, he's always thought he mustn't represent a loss to my children, they mustn't think his presence means they're going to lose their mum on some level. He's tried to forge - and very successfully - his own relationship with them and not be another father.

"They don't need another father. Tim is such a one-off - and actually Rye is such a one-off.

"That's the rich thing about divorce, it doesn't have to be catastrophic because as long as they know they're loved and they've got an essential sense of self, a lot about life is trying to deal with lots of people."
