Keith Richards scares daughters' boyfriends

Keith Richards' daughter Alexandra says the rocker does tricks with knives to "intimidate" her boyfriends.

Keith Richards "intimidates" his daughters' boyfriends with knives.

The Rolling Stones rocker is very protective of 26-year-old Theodora and 25-year-old Alexandra - his girls with wife Patti Hansen - but trusts their instincts in knowing what makes them happy.

Alexandra said: "He's quite protective. Sometimes it's hard for him. Sometimes he takes boyfriends to the other end of the house to show them some tricks he can do with a knife to intimidate them a little, to warn them that they shouldn't make me or my sister suffer. But then he's very pleasant.

"I think he trusts my instincts and that I know what makes me happy."

Alexandra - who is dating DJ Nick Cohen - also works as a DJ and says her famous father is very proud of her career.

She told Hola! Argentina magazine: "He came once with a friend to the bar where I started out. Luckily, it was a quiet night. There was hardly anyone there and no one bothered him. I took the opportunity to put on all his favourite tunes.

"He's very proud of my work. When my picture comes out in the papers, it can make him cry."
