A popular actress and a couple with a 17-year age difference… The top 9 celebrity love stories that attracted attention in 2010 (No. 3 to No. 1)
No.2 First Discovery of a Hottie! Popular actress Sairi Ito secretly fosters “love with an age difference
It was an early April evening in the downtown area of Shibuya Ward, crowded with businessmen after work. Walking along in a navy cap and a loose-fitting shirt was Sairi Ito, 27, a popular actress who became the talk of the town after her appearance in “Mystery and Not to Mention It” (Fuji TV), a Monday 9 series in the February season.
Ito is a next-generation chameleon actress who is active in a variety of fields, including drama, narrator, and variety. He became a star with his role in the drama “Zenkaku Overseer” (Netflix). Although he often appears in supporting roles, his presence is more than that of a leading actor due to his high level of acting ability. In recent years, he has appeared in an increasing number of variety shows after his older brother Shunsuke Ito (32) made it to the finals of the M-1 Grand Prix three years in a row.
Next to Ito, who is extremely busy, was a dandy with gray hair, and the two men chatted amiably. Who is this man?
He is a scriptwriter, Mr. Horai Ryuta (46), and although there is a 20-year age difference between them, they are actually dating. They came close to each other suddenly in June 2009 when Ito was the heroine in the play “The Decapitated Prince and the Foolish Woman,” which Horai wrote the story for and directed. Last summer after the play, Mr. Horai made a strong approach to her and they started dating. They have the official approval of acquaintances and others involved, such as inviting Ms. Ito as his girlfriend to a drinking party organized by Mr. Horai,” said an acquaintance of Ito.
The group entered a reasonably priced sushi restaurant, enjoyed their meal for about two hours, and left.
When we interviewed the couple on their way home, they told us that they were going home to …….
–Sorry, this is Friday. This is Friday.
Ito: “Er, seriously, seriously. So this is what it’s like (laughter). I’m so surprised!”
Ito was surprised by the direct interview, but answered our questions for about 10 minutes.
–Are the two of you dating?
Ito: “Well (explosive laugh), I wonder what I should do about that kind of thing. (Looking at Hourai’s face) I don’t know.
The magazine also witnessed the two returning to the same apartment.
