Reports that Elizabeth Hurley and Bill Clinton had an affair while the actress was still dating Hugh Grant have attracted heavy press attention on both sides of the Atlantic.
Hurley has categorically denied the report. The 48-year-old took to Twitter and wrote: “Ludicrously silly stories about me & Bill Clinton. Totally untrue. In the hands of my lawyers. Yawn.”
Original reporter Radar Online claimed that the story was based on the audio footage of Hurley’s rumoured ex-lover, Tom Sizemore, during which he spoke about her alleged relationship with Bill Clinton.
Hurley has previously been vocal about being attracted to powerful politicians. In 2010, she was quoted saying: “Oh, I love David Cameron. I've had lunch with David and Samantha a few times and found them both extremely charming. I think he's gorgeous. Super-sexy! He's very hands-on with his kids, very charismatic.”
“Powerful folk can be sexy. I adore Clinton,” she added. “You know, naughty but nice with a very sexy voice. John Major was terribly dry and funny in the flesh too.”
