The Bodyguard hunk, 32, cut a dapper figure in a crisp white T-shirt, black jeans and a navy bomber as he left the hotel.

A source told The Sun: 'Richard's career is going from strength to strength – the world really is his oyster. He never really used to like Los Angeles, but went there a couple of times at the end of last year and fell in love with the place.'
The star, 32, said the California way of life suited him.
He said: 'I've been rather disinterested in living in LA. for most of my career, but I've recently spent a lot more time here. It suits me more, it's a much more proactive place. I can be lazier in London than I can be in LA.'
