	The grubby ex-Libertine wound up Moss so much when they were together that she battered him around the head with a guitar and set fire to his favourite childhood teddy, reported Sun Online.
	"Maybe we could have lasted forever. When I met her she was just a girl from south London that I fell in love with. But it wasn't an easy love.

Tamil superstar Dhanush, who is married to Rajnikanth's, says being the son-in-law of the iconic actor has not helped or affected him.
	Dhanush got married to Rajnikanth's daughter Aishwarya in 2004.
	"Being his son-in-law doesn't do anything to me actually. I have always done my own work. It (his name) neither helped me nor affected me," Dhanush said in an interview here.
	He says it's not worth comparing his work with his father-in-law as their styles of working are quite different.
	"My choice of films are different. My method of acting is completely different from his. So there is no room for comparison. And comparing a 20-25 films old guy with an icon is absolutely rubbish," he said.
	Dhanush is entering Bollywood with 'Raanjhanaa', but has not discussed about the film with his father-in-law. "To be very honest he has been very busy with his work while I've been with mine. We haven't spoken about this film yet," he said, adding he never discusses work with his dad-in-law.
