Hollywood beauty meets 'hot Australian guy' - and quickly finds out why they're so hard to date

A US model and media personality revealed on Sunday her agonising attempt at trying to get a date with a 'hot Australian guy'. Sami Sheen, 21, who is the daughter of Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards, took to TikTok to recount the time she struggled to flirt with a man from Down Under. The blonde beauty said she met the hopeless romantic at a restaurant in Malibu, but he was so clueless about how to hit on her, he left without her name or number. 'Story time about a hot Australian man I met last week,' she captioned the video. She then said: 'I was in Malibu. I was in a really cute restaurant, sitting outside drinking my coffee. I had my dog in my lap.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Then my friend was like, "There's a really hot man behind you." I turned around... he was looking,' she continued. Sami went on to say she was in the midst of discussing if she should approach him or not when the Aussie took the decision out of her hands and made a move. 'A couple minutes go by. I hear this man say, "Oh my god, that dog is really cute." I turned to look at him and he said, "You have a really cute dog, can I come say hi?"' The OnlyFans model encouraged the man to approach and play with her pooch, saying he knelt down to be eye level with her. Sami said the pair of them had great conversation and chemistry, but she was left disappointed when the Aussie didn't ask for her number. 'He gets up, walks away. I was like, "Oh my god, I can't believe I did not get his number or anything. He is really hot,"' she said. But her second chance came when she took her dog over to a nearby bush so it could go to the toilet. Her mystery man happened to be standing nearby with a group of his friends and he decided to approach her for a second time. 'He is petting [my dog] goodbye. Then he looks up and says, "I'll see you around,"' she recounted. 'Was this just about my dog? Because he didn't get my name, didn't get my number. We didn't exchange names, nothing. Nothing else was said that wasn't about a dog.' Sami went on to lament she has yet to see this man again and has no idea if he was interested in her or just wanted to pet her dog. Her Australian followers flocked to the comments to offer advice, with many saying men Down Under are 'dumb' and 'terrible' at flirting. 'We have no rizz I'm sorry,' one person said. 'Aussie guys are DUMB when it comes to flirting. They almost don't do it. They just wanna root!' another added. 'If you see him, ask him out. Aussie men are terrible at that,' a third noted. One other user commented: 'It was definitely about you, but Australians are known not to make any moves for some dumb reason.' Her Australian followers flocked to the comments to offer advice, with many saying men Down Under are 'dumb' and 'terrible' at flirting Sami is one of five children fathered by 59-year-old Hollywood actor Charlie. The Two and a Half Men star welcomed his first daughter, Cassandra, with high school girlfriend Paula Profit in 1984. He then welcomed daughters Sami and her sister Lola with ex-wife Denise, 54, in 2004 and 2005 respectively. Charlie also shares twin sons, Bob and Max, with ex-wife Brooke Mueller. They were born in 2009.

She's All That icon Rachael Leigh Cook debuts shock new romance with 2000s action hunk

Rachael Leigh Cook has officially debuted her new budding romance with a 2000s action hunk as the pair were seen enjoying a date night in LA on Friday. The 45-year-old She's All That star was seen sweetly holding hands with fellow actor Brandon Routh, who leapt to fame after portraying the iconic Man of Steel in the 2006 film Superman Returns. The two stars enjoyed the low-key outing together as they stopped by a crowded movie theater to catch a screening. Rachael and Brandon, also 45, flashed cheerful smiles during their nighttime excursion, and at one point the beauty was seen sweetly resting her hand on his back. The actress — whose divorce from Daniel Gillies was finalized in 2021 — was effortlessly chic in a pair of light-blue denim jeans and a black cropped blazer. She slipped into a pair of closed-toe white pumps and carried a small gold handbag. Her brunette locks were parted in the middle, and fell down naturally to brush the tips of her shoulders. Brandon kept it stylish casual in a black button-up, as well as a pair of black jeans and comfy sneakers. While it is not known when the couple first sparked up a romance, in February they were pictured stopping by the restaurant HomeGrown in Des Moines, Iowa. The eatery shared a snap of the two actors on its Instagram page as they posed with a couple of staff members. The caption read: 'It's a bird… it's a plane… it's Brandon Routh! Superman and Des Moines' own Brandon Routh stopped by Crescent to fuel up before fighting for truth and justice… with kindness, of course. 'Also visiting us today, the one and only Rachael Leigh Cook. From Hollywood to Hallmark, She's All That in our book, and what a treat it was to welcome her to DSM today.' Rachael is known for her role in the 1999 rom-com She's All That, which also starred Freddie Prinze Jr., Matthew Lillard and the late Paul Walker. She also took on a leading role in the 2001 cult classic Josie And The Pussycats, as well as Netflix's Love, Guaranteed (2020) and He's All That (2021). The actress was previously married to Daniel Gillies from 2004 until their separation in 2019. Two years later, their divorce was finalized. Since then, they have continued to co-parent their children Charlotte, 11, and Theodore, 10. Following the split, Rachael revealed that she is still 'totally open' to marrying again in the future. During a 2022 interview with People, she explained, 'I am the most incorrigible full-tilt romantic you have ever met in your whole life, to the point that it's probably unreasonable. So yeah, totally open to that happening again.' However, Rachael added that she 'will be slightly more cautious in making that decision because I have kids involved and such in my life now. But I wouldn't say no.' As to whether she wants to expand her family in the future, the actress admittedshe isn't certain. 'I gotta watch out for my own spontaneous side, and I gotta make that decision with eyes wide open,' she said Rachael continued, 'And my boyfriend has to realize how totally insane kids can be, I think, in person a little bit more before we can think about making that step.' Brandon was previously married to the actress Courtney Ford, but she filed for divorce in January after 17 years of marriage. The Dexter star cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for the separation and requested for joint legal and physical custody of their son Leo, 12. At the time, the former couple shared a statement about the split, saying: 'To everyone who has loved and supported us, we have some personal news to share. 'After 21 years together, and 17 years of marriage, we have decided to begin a new journey, and enter this next chapter of life as friends and co-parents.' The pair added, 'We are now and forever rooting for each other as we move through this wild adventure called life. Our son is, and will always be, our highest priority, and we appreciate your understanding as we navigate this transition.' Brandon is not only known for portraying an iconic superhero, but he has also appeared on the big screen in movies such as Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (2010). On television, he's known for roles in shows including Arrow, Chuck, The Rookie, The Flash and Legends Of Tomorrow. Rachael and Brandon are also no strangers to appearing in movies for the Hallmark Channel. At the time, the former couple shared a statement about the split, saying, 'To everyone who has loved and supported us, we have some personal news to share' The actor has played leading characters in movies such as The Nine Lives Of Christmas, as well as The Nine Kittens Of Christmas. Rachael has also starred in Hallmark television movies including Summer Love, Autumn In The Vineyard, Frozen Love and Rescuing Christmas. The pair are expected to attend Christmas Con later this year in New Jersey, which will take place from December 12-14. Rachael and Brandon were initially slated to attend the event last year, but both dropped out due to scheduling conflicts.

Eddie Murphy says get-togethers with Martin Lawrence's family are ‘really normal' and not full of jokes

Comedians Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence have become in-laws after Murphy's son Eric married Lawrence's daughter Jasmin in May. Murphy joked that their potential grandchildren might be 'serious' rather than inheriting their comedic genes, despite public speculation. The couple opted for a quiet wedding with just the two of them, foregoing a large ceremony. Murphy and Lawrence have been friends for many years, having starred together in films like Boomerang and Life. Eric and Jasmin were introduced by Jasmin's uncle, not by their famous fathers, despite their fathers' long-standing friendship. Eddie Murphy jokes that he and Martin Lawrence will have 'serious' grandchildren
