She has dated some of the wildest men in showbusiness, but Kate Moss says that her most memorable kiss was with Frank Sinatra – who ‘lunged’ at her after surrounding her with his security guards.

The supermodel was just 21 when the extraordinary episode took place in 1995 at the singer’s star-studded 80th birthday party in Hollywood.

She had arrived with her then boyfriend, actor Johnny Depp.

But though Depp is renowned for his fiery temperament, Kate reveals in a new interview how Sinatra got the better of him.

‘There was still a twinkle in his blue eyes. Yeah, major,’ she says.

‘I was sitting down having a cigarette, and he spotted me and made a beeline to me. He got all of his security to close in so Johnny couldn’t get to me.

‘So we were encircled and he’s like, “How are you doing, little lady?”

‘And I said, “Happy birthday, Frank,” and he just lunged for me. He kissed me on the lips, then gave me a filterless cigarette. I came off all lightheaded. He was fabulous.’
