SEE VIDEO: Jennifer Aniston dates Essex brickie

Actress falls for model/builder who’s dead ringer for Brad Pitt

Thursday, 7 June 2007

She’s loved - and lost - two of the hottest A-listers in Hollywood, but now Jennifer Aniston’s building a loving relationship with a former Essex bricklayer.

Jen, 38, who’s been single since breaking up with Vince Vaughn in October, has fallen for builder-turned-model Paul Sculfor after meeting him at a Hollywood party.

The pair were recently spotted having an intimate dinner at LA hotspot One Pico in Santa Monica.

‘He was gently rubbing her back as they waited for a table,' an onlooker tells The Sun. 'For the next three hours, they leant in close to talk, holding hands across the table.’

After the meal, the couple spent the night at Jennifer’s swanky Beverly Hills mansion. Hunky Paul, 36, who hails from Hornchurch, Essex, left in his Range Rover at 11am the next day.

Paul’s dad, George Sculfor, 67, says it’s still early days for the lovebirds.

‘He’s been having a great time since he moved to the States,’ George tells the Daily Mirror. ‘I spoke to him last week and he said he’d been dating. I know he wouldn’t want me to talk about it.’

Paul, who is based in LA, got his big modelling break in 1997 for Levi’s - as a drowning fisherman being chased by three mermaids.

Since then, the ex-amateur boxer is reported to have dated All Saints stars Shaznay Lewis and Nicole Appleton. He was also once engaged to George Clooney's ex Lisa Snowdon.

We can't wait to see Jen soon in an Essex pub, downing a pint and a packet of crisps.
