In the real world, there are two rules to follow for a healthy work environment: Don’t steal someone else’s food from the fridge. Don’t date your coworkers. Both make for awkward water cooler run-ins and should probably be avoided. Unless, of course, you’re a famous movie star who dates other famous movie stars and you decide to date your coworkers. Then things just get interesting and awkward. Especially when the characters you’re portraying are together on screen. 25 Movie Couples Who Dated in Real Life 1. Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan Tatum Channing Tatum met now-wife Jenna Dewan on the set of Step Up. She was totally impressed by his moves. Why? LOVE SCENES . Look no further than Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in Eyes Wide Shut to see what we mean. Pretty sure Keith Urban’s neeeeeever watching THAT movie. And when (if) things go south, there’s still a whole lot of time to be spent together promoting a film where their on-screen personalities are still together while they no longer are. Despite dating one’s coworkers being a pretty terrible idea as a general rule of thumb, check out our gallery of 25 movie couples who were together in real life. The good news is that some of them are still going strong.
Michael Winterbottom, one of the most fascinating and idiosyncratic filmmakers of our age, makes so many movies that some of them creep into festivals very quietly and, just as quietly, creep out, never to be seen again. That wasn’t the case with The Trip , for my money one of the most intriguing pictures of 2011, a woolly exploration of middle-aged angst that featured Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon (as themselves) bickering and trading Sean Connery impersonations as they made their way through the English countryside. But two years before that, in 2008, Winterbottom brought a picture called Genova to the Toronto International Film Festival. The picture, a mildly engaging drama in which Colin Firth plays a father who moves his family to Italy after the death of their mother, never got a U.S. release, fading like the worn face of a stone saint on a medieval church. Fortunately, Winterbottom’s latest, Trishna , a retelling of Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the d’Urbervilles set in contemporary India, hasn’t met the same fate. And though it’s a bit of an oddity, it’s an affecting curio suitable for both Hardy enthusiasts and Winterbottom fans alike. Freida Pinto is Trishna, the Tess character, who comes from an impoverished family living in a small village. Jay (Riz Ahmed), is her Angel/Alec (Hardy purists should be warned that the two characters have been condensed into one, perhaps a bit clumsily), a man who sweeps her away from her life of poverty, only to end up resenting and degrading her. Even if Winterbottom has taken what some might consider unforgivable liberties with the story, Trishna works: Winterbottom has a feel for the story’s landscape, including the hardscrabble beauty of the countryside, all yellow dust and scrubby trees. It’s both a place Trishna needs to escape from and it’s home — there’s no safety or freedom there, but it’s the only place she’s truly herself. Pinto gives a lovely performance here. No other role she’s been given — as the hero’s dream woman in Slumdog Millionaire, or as a Palestinian orphan girl in Julian Schnabel’s deeply disappointing Miral — has asked as much of her, and she greets the challenge boldly. In the barest terms of the plot, Trishna is a victim, a tragic heroine, but Pinto always lets you see the character’s immovable self-assurance shimmering beneath the surface — that’s the very thing that threatens her lover and tormentor, and brings about her downfall. In Winterbottom’s scenario, Jay’s sudden turn against Trishna isn’t believable or readable in movie terms — his love for her appears to be operated by a switch that turns off abruptly without cause or reason — but it makes sense in the grander scheme of the impossibility of love. The dialogue here is mostly improvised — this is a casual, hip-pocket approach to a revered classic — but Winterbottom keeps the story moving deftly. We might appreciate Winterbottom more if he worked less, but he’s unlike any other filmmaker on the landscape, trying something new just about every year. Some of it sticks and some of it doesn’t. But almost always, he gives us something worth looking at. Editor’s note: Portions of this review appeared earlier in Stephanie Zacharek’s Toronto International Film Festival coverage.
These Freida Pinto for Esquire UK pics could not have come at a better time….because I am currently working on making myself famous in India….USA fame is too overrated…and having over a billion people….half of which are girls…works for my non existant self esteem….so I figure the best way is to post and praise these dots not feathers….esepcially when they are half naked….even when knowing that Dev Petel awkwardness has cum inside her….now I’m gonna go back to researching India pop culture to have better jokes that only they get, since I’m tired of you and moving on internationally…
Azuuuuucar!!! #RIPCeliaCruz According to TMZ reports : Jennifer Lopez couldn’t contain her laughter when she learned about the drama surrounding her maybe/maybe not nipple moment at the Oscars last night … this according to her personal stylist. TMZ spoke with Rob Zangardi …who personally zipped J.Lo into her Oscars dress … and then helped her change into another low cut outfit after the show. Rob tells us … he and fellow stylist Mariel Haenn personally informed Lopez about the buzz surrounding her areola during the outfit change … and J.Lo simply laughed it off. Rob says … Lopez then assured the team she was so tightly packed into her dress, there was no possible way a nip could’ve slipped. So what WAS the mysterious object that appeared on Jen’s chest? Rob’s convinced it was a shadow from the lighting. Do you believe it, or do J.Lo and her stylist need more people? Images via WENN Hit the flip to see pics of J.Lo taking her young tender Casper Smart to the Vanity Fair after-party where she introduced him to her high-profile friends.
Freida Pinto showed us a lil sultry side of hers on the cover of Esquire UK’s April 2012 issue: She was the Indian girl with the faraway eyes in Slumdog Millionaire, the best-supporting hottie in Rise of the Planet of the Apes. And this month? She’s none other than the cover star of Esquire’s April issue. What British audiences perhaps don’t yet know about Freida is that she’s also a funny, no-nonsense, fast-talking Anglophile who loves London almost as much as her home town. “Even though it’s so dreadful in the winter, I still think it’s beautiful,” she says. “So much culture and history. Like Bombay!” Peep the hot shots when you have a flip thru!
For skin fans praying that tall, sexy drink of water Freida Pinto would finally let those Pinto beans out of her tunic in the mythological action flick Immortals (2011)- your prayers have been answered. Sort of. Freida’s character , the demi-goddess Phaedra , does bare right breast and butt getting it on with mythic hero Theseus ( Henry Cavill ) 57 minutes in. But that tasty brown backside you see isn’t Freida’s- it’s a textbook case of a body double (notice how her face and butt are never in the same shot). Freida even admits to using a butt double for the scene, telling E! Online : “It wasn’t really my butt. It was a butt double. I’m relieved I don’t have to deal with that issue.” The gods can be so cruel. Want to see some Greek gazongas and Roman rackage?
