83-year-old Joan Collins parties with race car drivers

English actress Joan Collins is living her most fabulous life since turn 83 earlier in May.

The Dynasty star is still “living life in the fast lane” in her 80s, recently sharing a photo of herself alongside two handsome Formula 1 race car drivers – Fernando Alonso, 34, and Jenson Button, 36.

Dame Joan captioned the picture: “Living life in the fast lane next to a couple of @McLarenF1 champions @alo_oficial and my compatriot @JensonButton.”

Joan, who has been married to Percy Gibson since 2002.

It’s lovely to see Joan out and about with a big smile on her face, after the unfortunate death of her sister and best-selling author Jackie Collins, in September last year.

Joan said at the time, “I don't think I will ever recover from the sadness of losing my beautiful baby sister.”

“Someone once said, 'The reality is that you don’t ‘get over’ the loss of a loved one, you learn to live with it,'" she continued. "I think Jackie would have liked us to do more than that. As she requested, I will not mourn her death, but rather celebrate her life.”
