SUZY Eddie Izzard has shared a photo with an iconic rockstar after a run-in in London.
The comedian and actor, 63, spent the evening with the Led Zeppelin guitarist discussing another legend, the late Jeff Beck.

“Met Jimmy Page in London today, at the bottom of Wardour Street. Had a wonderful chat with him about the late great Jeff Beck.
“Their amazing guitar improvisations inspired many to try to follow in their footsteps,” they wrote alongside the pic, which they posted on Instagram.
Snapping a selfie on the street, the pair were seen grinning as they wrapped up in coats, with Eddie wearing pink lipstick with sunglasses on her head while Jimmy, 81, kept a low profile in a coat.
Commuters and pub-dwellers are seen walking by the pair, totally oblivious to who they were.
Jimmy Page is recognised as one of the greatest guitarists of all time, forming Led Zeppelin in 1968 after the break-up of his previous band, The Yardbirds.
He has been inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame twice for both bands, and regularly appears on lists of the most influential musicians of all time.
He is best known for his iconic riffs, with Slash, Brian May, Eddie Van Halen and Joe Perry all crediting him as an influence in their own music.
Izzard is currently touring the world in a one-person performance of Shakespeare’s Hamlet.
The actor, who first found fame as a stand-up comedian, will be continuing their latest stint of the world tour in San Francisco in April.
The show will then go to Seattle before coming to the UK, starting at the Trinity Theatre at Royal Tunbridge Wells in September.
They will then perform across the country across the following month-and-a-half, ending with a show at London’s Cadogan Hall on November 5th.
Izzard goes by both names of Suzy and Eddie and uses a combination of she/her and he/him pronouns after identifying a gender-fluid.
The star has previously explained they knew they were trans from the age of five, but is happy to be referred to as both Eddie and Suzy, acknowledging Eddie is the more recognised name associated with their work.
