Charles Dance channeled his inner Tywin Lannister when he started dating a series of women who were more than 20 years younger than him.
Charles Dance is known for his portrayal of Tywin Lannister in Game of Thrones, the patriarch of House Lannister. Fans know that his onscreen character has a penchant for sleeping with younger women, as evident in the fact that he also shared the bed with Shae, the mistress of his son, Tyrion Lannister.

The 77-year-old English actor’s high-profile romance also attracted the attention of the media. In 2004, he separated from his first wife, Joanna Haythorn, after more than three decades of marriage. After that, he started dating women who are about more than 20 years younger than him.
Charles Dance’s Tumultuous Relationships With Younger Women
Before his divorce from Haythorn, Charles Dance was linked to Emilia Fox, but later pursued a relationship with actress Sophia Myles, who was 33 years his junior. Then, he dated model Shambhala Marthe, 26 years younger than him.
After this, he had a romance with painter Eleanor Boorman, 25 years his junior. Unfortunately, it did not work out as they broke up right after she had a daughter with him when he was 65 years old.

Finally, he found new love in Italian woman Alessandra Masi, 24 years younger than him. They met on a movie set of The Book of Vision. He told Standard:
Alessandra’s fantastic. I’m very, very lucky. I feel 35. I probably behave 25. It’s certainly been a period of change for me.
Speaking about his divorce and past relationships, Dance commented, “Some of the time I handled it well, and some of the time I didn’t. It was difficult to get back into family life after being away.” The actor asserted that his wife “was hugely supportive of my career – was, has been and I’m sure will continue to be so.”
After this revelation, it would be inevitable not to compare Dance with Tywin Lannister in terms of his habits when it comes to dating women.

Dance admitted that when Game of Thrones came along, he had no idea that it would become a massive TV franchise. He shared in an interview with The Guardian:
I had no idea where it was going to go. None of us had any idea that it was going to be the most successful television series ever made… I still had no idea that it would become this charming monster.
When describing Tywin Lannister, he told Empire: “I thought of him more as unlikable… He’s a misogynist, not very pleasant. But he did what he did for the good of his family. And, finally, for the good of his position.” The head of the House Lannister is indeed one of the most compelling antagonists in the series.
Dance is one of the most highly respected actors who started his career on stage with the Royal Shakespeare Company. He also has a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for his work on The Crown.
Game of Thrones is available to watch on HBO.
