Tragic Spider-Man 3 actress Lucy Gordon was in love

British film starlet Lucy Gordon, who was found hanged in an apparent suicide last week, told how she was in love with her much older boyfriend just before the tragedy.
Spider-Man 3 star Lucy, 28, was found hanging by father-of-four Jerome Almeras, who is in his 40s, at their Paris flat on Wednesday. A neighbour is said to have heard the couple rowing before cinemato-
grapher Almeras fell asleep.
He woke and cut Lucys body down before rushing into the street for help crying, 'Why? Why? Michel Haddi, 42, who recently photographed Lucy for the Italian edition of Vanity Fair, said she had revealed to him that she was besotted with Almeras, one of whose children is believed to be very young. 'She told me she was in love with her boyfriend, he said.
'I told her she must like older men. She looked like a girl with a plan. 'She had everything to go for. I was going to visit her and her boyfriend in Paris.
'She was hiding that turmoil inside. Its devastating. All of us have a tendency to want to kill ourselves, but theres a difference to think about it. -Daily Mail
Amitabh Gordon, Lucys neighbour at her flat in New York, but not related to her, said: 'It must have been very impulsive. I asked Lucy how old Almerass kids were and she said there was quite an age spread. One maybe close to college age and one quite little.
Another New York friend said: 'She packed up all her things and moved to Paris a few months ago. She trusted everyone. She was very sweet and kind.
'When she told me she had a new boyfriend, I thought, Whats the real situation?
'She said he was in his 40s and had four children. I wondered, is he still with the mother of his children, is he divorced? Lucy didnt say. She was just very excited.
Almerass teenage daughter Jeanne said Lucy left two suicide notes. She added: 'Nobody can understand why she did this horrible thing. I liked her so much and I didnt have enough time to tell her.
Last night there was no sign of Almeras at the 2,000-a-month Paris apartment.
A neighbour said: 'He cannot face life alone there in the light of what has happened. Her death has destroyed Jerome - he thought the world of her.
