Anyone for a toyboy? The hit of the season has been The Idea of You, the film adaptation of Robinne Lee’s bestseller in which a woman in her 40s (played by Anne Hathaway) falls mutually in something-or-other with a pop idol in his 20s (played by Nicholas Galitzine).
On the one hand, I bristle at the idea that being fortysomething is particularly old. Or that a rich, beautiful, successful, intelligent woman is making some sort of wild transgression in having a sexy love affair with an available male character who is equally blessed in every way, but for the fact that he’s younger.
