Joaquin Phoenix appears to have found romance with a teenage DJ, who is 20 years his junior.
The 39-year-old actor was seen hand-in-hand with the platinum blonde, identified as 19-year-old Allie Teilz, as he took time out from promoting his latest movie, Her, in Rome.
Wrapping his arms affectionately around the teen musician as they strolled around the Italian capital, the Hollywood star didn't seem at all bothered about going public with his new relationship in spite of the couple's two-decade age gap.

But in spite of her success, Allie previously admitted she used to lie about her age in order to get ahead in the world of music.
She said in an interview with Bullett magazine: 'I had a complete double life and lied about my age, obviously, but I was really getting involved in the music world and starting to meet people.
'It wasn’t a good world for me being as young as I was.
'I felt an extreme disconnect with the world because everyday there would be a huge arena show and so many people involved who would build this thing up and then I’d watch them build it down and it would be like it never existed.'
