Kevin Spacey turned up at Monday night's Emmy Awards with two head-turning accessories - a gorgeous new lady and a dapper cane.
Looking suave in a classic tux, the House of Cards star relied on his date for the evening and a trusty black cane to help him up the red carpet.
Talking to Entertainment Tonight's Nancy O'Dell the actor revealed he was recovering after an enthusiastic tennis game: "The cane wasn't actually planned," he admitted. "Two days ago on the tennis court, I strained my hamstring in racing for a drop shot -- which I got, by the way! It was the winning point, so at least there's that."

So what about Kevin's date? The actor, who lost out on the Best Actor in a Drama gong to Bryan Cranston, arrived with CNN journalist Ashleigh Banfield, who's actually appeared in the actor's hit Netflix series House of Cards.
Remember when Franks' wife Claire gave an interview about her abortion? The reporter interviewing Kevin's onscreen wife was Ashleigh.
So was the Emmys simple a case of Kevin catching up with an old co-star, or is there love in the air? Whatever it is, the actor might want to remember the messy repercussions of Frank Underwood's affair with a journalist...
