Rhys Ifans flies off the handle at photographers on ANOTHER date with Kimberly Stewart
Updated 16:25pm on 31 Jul 2008
Rhys Ifans may be in the throes of a new romance, but it doesn't appear to have improved his mood by much.
The notoriously cranky star flew into a rage last night while on a date with Rod Stewart's daughter Kimberly.
Cranky: Rhys Ifans lost his temper while on a night out with Kimberly Stewart
The Notting Hill actor allegedly flicked his cigarette and attempt to kick a photographer as he arrived back at the party girl's apartment after partying at London's Bungalow 8.
Rhys, 40, has been keeping company with the 28-year-old blonde all week after they met at the same club on Monday night.
On Tuesday they were spotted having a romantic lunch in Soho together.

It's the second time Kimberly has been linked with one of Sienna Miller's exes.
She was photographed in a passionate clinch with the Factory Girl star's former fiancé Jude Law in an Essex nightclub just two months ago.
Rhys and Sienna called time on their nine month romance eight weeks ago as the actress' transatlantic romance with married father-of-four Balthazar Getty kicked off.
Rhys had previously closed ranks with his friends in London's Primrose Hill set.
He had been seeking support from famous friends including Kate Moss and Davinia Taylor.

Rhys, I'm sure you'll never read this, but you've done some brilliant acting but now you're acting the fool. You make a Cymraeg proud, then you make me want to hide my face. There's only one thing left to say; "You daft prick"!

I reckon he is a bit of a looker actually and he's tall, got a good build, and talent. Can't help thinking he's hooked up with Kimberly to annoy Sienna as Kim's already been spotted with Jude Law...

Actually, he has done a lot of very brilliant stage work - The Accidental Death of an Anarchist and Don Juan in Soho for just two examples. He is a great stage actor and well-respected by all his peers as such. In addition he is charming in person - hence why attracts the women he does.

No, he's not attractive, but he is a great actor. I've seen many of his movies and saw him on stage in London last year in "Don Juan in Soho" at the Donmar. He was brilliant.

The cheek of these celebs who fly off the handle when papped. Top tip is don't go for an intimate date to a bar/restaurant with an entire press pack camped outside. Then maybe you won't have your picture taken!

I don't know what these younger women see in this man. He's not attractive, he doesn't seem to be able to date women his own age which suggests some maturity issues and he hasn't done anything special since Notting Hill. It must be his sparkling wit.
