The 62-year-old headed out last night in turn-up denim jeans, brown sneakers and a floral shirt in what appeared to be his very best effort to keep up with his 27-year-old love.
The actor, best known for playing the role of dimwit Baldrick in Blackadder, was heading off to watch the play Entertaining Mr Sloane at the Trafalgar Studios in London with Louise Hobbs, who was dressed in a matching denim skirt.

As well as being 35 years younger than Robinson, Miss Hobbs is also taller - at 5ft 8in, she towers above her famous boyfriend, who is 5ft 4in.
The unlikely pair, who met by chance at an East End restaurant in 2005, are said to be planning a wedding this year after Robinson proposed while on a romantic three-week holiday in Malaysia last month.
A source close to the family said at the time: 'An engagement was clearly on the cards. Despite the age difference, they're very happy together.

'Tony proposed the day after they arrived on holiday on December 28. Of course they are both over the moon.'
However, the source added: 'It's fair to say not everybody thought it would last. Some are concerned for Louise, although no one would raise that with her. At the end of the day, when he is 80, she will still be a relatively young woman of 45.'
Robinson has two adult children from his marriage to Mary Shepherd.
Luke, 29, and Laura, 31, both have several years on their soon-to-be stepmother.
