Renee Zellweger has revealed that she is flattered by speculation that she was seeing Sir Paul McCartney.
The actress was believed to be dating McCartney after they were spotted at a Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers gig in New York during the summer.
Although the rumours were false, she insisted that she had no objection because she thinks the former Beatle is "lovely".
She told People: "My God, that's like new news! But I have to say, I'm not disappointed. He's as lovely as I expected."
Zellweger's friends denied the reports last month, claiming that the pair were "just good friends".
McCartney also spoke out to dismiss the possibility of a romance, telling WENN: "We're not dating. We're in the same group of friends and that's it."
