Eddie Izzard takes selfie with legendary rocker in London street and passers-by have no idea – would you recognise him?
SUZY Eddie Izzard has shared a photo with an iconic rockstar after a run-in in London.
The comedian and actor, 63, spent the evening with the Led Zeppelin guitarist discussing another legend, the late Jeff Beck.
"Met Jimmy Page in London today, at the bottom of Wardour Street. Had a wonderful chat with him about the late great Jeff Beck.
"Their amazing guitar improvisations inspired many to try to follow in their footsteps," they wrote alongside the pic, which they posted on Instagram.
Snapping a selfie on the street, the pair were seen grinning as they wrapped up in coats, with Eddie wearing pink lipstick with sunglasses on her head while Jimmy, 81, kept a low profile in a coat.
Commuters and pub-dwellers are seen walking by the pair, totally oblivious to who they were.
