Leonard Whiting – 70

The very English Leonard Whiting is a well-known singer and actor, who is quite famous for playing Shakespeare’s Romeo on the big screen. In fact, Romeo and Juliet gave Whiting a decent amount of money. He co-starred in the 1968 version with Olivia Hussey who played Juliet. He was 17 then, and she, 15. The pair was interviewed in spring 2018 at the Turner Classic Movies Classic Film Festival, to mark the 50th anniversary of the said film. They revealed that they did have a crush on each other while filming, so the emotions expressed on film were real. Whiting is now retired.
