He must feel secure in himself! Brigitte Nielson, 49, towers over husband Mattia Dessi, 33, as they take sunshine stroll

Now here's a man who's confident about his masculinity.
Brigitte Nielson's fifth husband, Mattia Dessi, 33, was dwarfed by his 49-year-old wife as they enjoyed a stroll in Beverly Hills on Wednesday.
And not just because his stunning partner is 6ft1 tall; because the Rocky star was even wearing high heeled boots, and was dressed in an elongating head-to-toe black.

Large and little: Brigitte Nielsen and her husband Mattia Dessi wandered down Robertson Boulevard on Wednesday in the blistering sunshine

But Matti, who lives in Palm Springs with the beauty, doesn't seem to care... and maybe it's why he's lasting the distance where the other husbands fell.

The lovebirds, who wed in 2006, looked happy and content together as they wandered down the famous shopping street.
Brigitte was famous for getting down to her bare essentials in the Eighties and more recently rose to prominence after appearing on Celebrity Big Brother in 2005.

Quite a difference: Amazonian Brigitte dwarfed her husband but he seemed quite happy and relaxed about it

In one of the most memorable episodes in CBB history, Nielsen was confronted with her former mother-in-law Jackie Stallone, mother to Sylvester, who was sent in to spice things up.

Brigitte, who is sometimes referred to as The Great Dane, also caused controversy in 2008 when she had plastic surgery live on German television.

In the show, 'From Old to New: Brigitte Nielsen in the Celebrity Clinic', viewers were spared no detail, as the show saw Brigitte undergo liposuction on her thighs, Botox treatment and a breast reduction.

She said at the time: 'I know I am the first female celebrity in the world who has allowed herself to be filmed like that in an operating theatre.
'I know I will be breaking a taboo. But I’m sure that it will provoke a new discussion.  It’s time things change. I feel 30 and want to look that way again.'

Last night Brigitte arrived at the Square Mile Masked Ball at The Hurlingham Club in London looked toned and svelte in a tight black dress and feathered mask.

Teaming her dress with black heels and tights, Brigitte looked like a woman half her age as she arrived at the event.
