The first time, he’d tried to lure away Clapton’s first wife Patti Boyd — without success. Then, during the Rolling Stones’ Steel Wheels tour in 1989, he made a determined play for Clapton’s 18-year-old girlfriend of the moment.
While filming video for Anybody Seen My Baby Mick was going on backstage to seduce Anjelina., Jagger’s Texan-born girlfriend Jerry Hall was standing just a few feet away with their children- After that, Jerry hired a divorce lawyer and told Jagger their marriage was over. He responded with a bombardment of tender love notes, flowers and expensive gifts — and, incredibly, she took him back again.
For a while, the marriage seemed to thrive, with Jerry becoming pregnant in 1997 with her fourth child. Then Jagger flew to New York to film the video for the Stones song Anybody Seen My Baby?
His attention was immediately caught by a lushly beautiful unknown who’d been hired to play a stripper in the video. Her name was Angelina Jolie. Beyond her obvious physical attributes, Angelina offered something extra: an element of danger. ‘She scares me a little — I like that,’ Jagger said.
Highly strung, foul-mouthed, and given to dark moods and fits of temper, not only was she married — to the British actor Jonny Lee Miller — but she was already having an affair with the actor Timothy Hutton.
Jagger kept phoning until he wore her down and she agreed to meet up with him in Florida. The weekend left Angelina unimpressed and Mick wanting more.
His phone calls — which mostly went straight to answering machine — became increasingly desperate. Her mother’s friend, Lauren Taines, who listened to some, described them as ‘astonishing’ and said Jagger was ‘virtually sobbing’.
Somehow, he persuaded Angelina to see him again, and their romance lurched on for another two years. Once, he was on the phone, beseeching her to join him on tour in Brazil, when the call was interrupted by Jerry — ringing to say she’d given birth to their fourth child, Gabriel.
When Angelina was unable to join him in South America, Jagger consoled himself with a 6ft Brazilian model and actress called Luciana Morad. Besotted,
The Rolling Stones star had a fling with actress Uma Thurman and Brazilian model Luciana Morad became pregnant with his child after their brief dalliance, Jagger was bedding the actress Uma Thurman, who was then 26 (27 years Mick’s junior) and had just finished playing the seductive villain Poison Ivy in the movie Batman And Robin. Afterwards, while Jerry was changing for bed, Mick had dallied with the wife of a friend. ‘He jumped me — can you believe it?’ the woman said later. ‘Mick tried to make love to me on his wedding night!’
'I'll be your mistress forever': Jagger had a long affair with then-model Carla Bruni, who he met while she was dating his friend Eric Clapton While Jerry recovered from the birth, Jagger and Carla strolled on the beach, swam in their villa’s private pool and prowled the nightclubs of Phuket.
When Jerry held the missive, with its reversed writing, up to the mirror, she read the words: ‘I’ll be your mistress for ever.’ She felt sick. ‘I cried myself inside out,’ Jerry said later.
It was no use demanding an explanation from her husband on his return — he simply stormed ou
t again. So Jerry rang Carla to beg: ‘Leave my man alone!’ The Italian model slammed down the phone. Jerry kept her cool — until she heard that Carla was also keeping Jagger company in California. A few months later, the two models happened to bump into each other in Paris, where both were working.
In the middle of the lobby of the Ritz hotel, Jerry reportedly called Carla a tramp, then shouted: ‘Why can’t you leave my husband alone?’ ‘Tell your husband,’ Carla replied haughtily, ‘to leave me alone!’
