Anthony Bourdain shows off chiseled midriff in Rome

He may be 61 years old.

But Anthony Bourdain’s still got an enviable set of abs to show off when he finds himself poolside.

The celebrity chef did just that in Rome on Wednesday with his girlfriend, hometown girl Asia Argento, who was ringing in her 42nd birthday.

Anthony played up his svelte legs in a pair of navy shorts.

Asia offered a generous view of cleavage in a two piece that featured gold stripes over an off-white field, occasionally pulling on torn denim shorts.

She was seen dipping a foot into the water as Anthony stood nearby, as well as lying down close to the pool as her man lounged beside her.

Anthony’s been married twice, the first time being to his high school sweetheart Nancy Putkoski from 1985 until 2005.

His second wife was Ottavia Busia – like Asia, Italian – and their daughter Ariane was born the year they were married, 2007. 

Their breakup last year was at least outwardly amicable, with Ottavia telling Page Six in September: ‘Because of professional decisions we both have made, my husband and I have been for years in an unconventional relationship.’

She went on: ‘Nothing has changed. We love each other. We respect the decisions the other has made. And we’ll always consider ourselves a family.’

Anthony, whose show Parts Unknown flings him all over the planet, had emailed the New Yorker about the separation the previous month.

The magazine have quoted that email in a profile of him that ran this February: ‘It’s not much of a change of life style, as we have lived separate lives for many years. More of a change of address.’

Meanwhile, Asia – the daughter of Suspiria director Dario Argento and his co-writer on that film, actress Daria Nicolodi –  has also got two children.

The elder is a 16-year-old daughter called Anna Lou, whom Asia had by her rock singer ex-boyfriend Marco Castoldi.

Asia spent 2008 to 2013 married to Michele Civetta, who like her father is an Italian director. Michele and Asia have a nine-year-old daughter called Nicola.
