ACTOR Shane West, who rose to stardom in the early 2000s, has been seen spending time with a new potential love interest.
Shane became known for his starring role in the 2002 hit, A Walk to Remember, alongside Mandy Moore, 40.
Last week. the 46-year-old heartthrob was spotted in London, England, handing out with English model Sophie Porley, 31.
The two were seen having a conversation on the street while both sporting all-black ensembles.
Shane wore a black button-up that he opted to leave open on top, showing off a bit of his chest.
He paired the shirt with a leather jacket, black jeans, and lace-up combat boots.
The actor’s hair was pushed back, and his facial hair appeared to be a mix of brown and gray, making him look completely different from the 2002 film.
He finished off his suave look with a pair of sunglasses and held a netted hat in his hands.
Sophie’s look consisted of a strapless black dress that nearly fell to her ankles, which hugged her midsection before flaring out at her hips.
She had her brunette locks styled in loose waves and wore sunglasses for the outing as well.
Sophie is an actress as well, known for her starring role as Ellie Nightingale in Hollyoaks.
Since his fame catapult, Shane has starred in various other films, including the horror flick Warden in 2023.
However, the actor still tends to commemorate the earlier years of his career.
THE GOOD OL’ DAYS
Posting to his Instagram earlier this year, Shane uploaded a photo of his Teen People cover from 2003.
The cover showed a young Shane posing with his arms crossed and smoldering for the camera while wearing a denim button-up.
