As much as George talks about hitting pubs, on this evidence it seems he's more likely to rock up at a swanky city hangout than the Dog and Duck on a Wednesday night. But who knows? Keep your eyes peeled next time you're down your local. That handsome chap chatting up the buxom barmaid next to you could well be a certain suave movie star...
