Dustin Hoffman and his wife, Lisa, looked like a pair of love-struck teenagers when they were photographed enjoying a lunch date in New York this week.
The Meet the Fockers star held hands with Lisa as they headed to Il Buco for a bite to eat in the city.
Dustin wore sweatpants, a hoodie and a baseball cap; a look which was a far cry from his dapper red carpet appearances. His grey hair was longer than usual and he also sported a beard.
Lisa, 70, wore sweats and the pair added white sneakers to their dressed down appearance.
It was a rare public outing for the long-time couple who have properties in both New York and Los Angeles.

In 2016, Lisa told The Daily Telegraph. "We've been married 36 years and together 40 years. I say in Hollywood it is like dog years so you have to multiply that by seven. Maybe we are more in love [than when we got married], it continues to grow."

She continued: "One of the challenges that actors have is that they travel often for their jobs. Dustin and I made the decision immediately that we would stick together and no matter how challenging it was for our children or for us, we went everywhere with him, the whole group of us.

Dustin — who also shares two children with his first wife, Anne Byrne — adores fatherhood and says he strives to be the best possible dad.

Dustin and Lisa's children have great things to say about their parents too.
