Jerry Hall on Ronnie Wood's affair

London, (ANI): Actress Jerry Hall has laid the blame of married rocker Ronnie Wood's affair with a younger woman on 'men's fear of dying'.

Her comments come after the Rolling Stone star evoked much criticism for ditching his wife of 23 years, Jo, to have an affair with 20-year-old Russian waitress Ekaterina Ivanova.

Former supermodel Hall, known for her long-term relationship with Wood's band mate Mick Jagger, said she knows what went wrong.

"There is no way a woman would ever leave her family for a teenager like that," the Daily Express quoted her as telling Britain's The Daily Telegraph newspaper. "No. It's about a fear of dying for men; they want to stay immortal. But you know what, honey? We're all dying every day - it's just that women are more deeply rooted in reality," she added.
