Personal Life
Jason lived with long-term girlfriend Welsh actress Myfanwy Talog, for eighteen years, and nursed her through breast cancer until her death from the disease in 1995. This experience inspired him to organise his own charity, the David Jason Trust, for terminally ill children.
In 2001 Jason's girlfriend, 41-year-old Gill Hinchcliffe, gave birth to a baby girl, Sophie Mae. It was Jason's first child and he was 61 at the time. Jason and Hinchcliffe married on 30 November 2005, in a private ceremony at the Dorchester Hotel. The family lives in Ellesborough, Buckinghamshire.
Jason is a qualified helicopter pilot.
Jason's older brother, Arthur White, is also an actor and played Ernie Trigg alongside Jason in A Touch of Frost.
