Your looks won't last, Blair tells Spain's PM

Tony Blair, whose seven years in office have taken their toll on his youthful looks, has warned his Spanish counterpart that his boyish good-looks would not last.

"He's younger and better looking than I am," Blair, 51, joked on Thursday at a joint news conference in London with Spain's Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, who took up office less than two months ago at the age of 43.
