Rhys Ifans has been off the radar lately - and that's just the way he wants it.
The actor and hellraiser has revealed he's had enough of famous girlfriends after 'learning his lesson' when he split up with Sienna Miller last summer.
Rhys, 40, was speaking at the Leicester Square premiere of his new movie The Boat That Rocked, set aboard a pirate radio ship in the swinging Sixties.

The gruff Welshman said he was sick of the attention from photographers during his relationship with Sienna, and added: 'I had a harpoon on board the boat ready for when the paps tried to spy on us.
'I would have loved to drown a few of them.
'They don't bother me anymore now though, it's all about who you're shagging and I don't do that anymore... I learnt my lesson there, didn't I? I won't make that mistake again.'

ShareRhys was in fine form, turning up to the premiere reeking of booze.
He was also gushing about his experiences making the film, saying: 'It was probably one of the best jobs I've ever done, out on a boat with 12 like-minded pervs.
'We wouldn't be allowed to show any extras on the DVD - we'd all need lawyers.
'It did get a bit competitive, we had fishing competitions and who could be the funniest! I would like to say I won but it was probably Nick Frost and Chris O Dowd.'
