Austin Butler and Zoe Kravitz Ignite Romance Rumors at Paris Photocall
SIZZLING ON-SCREEN CHEMISTRY TRANSLATES TO REAL-LIFE ROMANCE RUMORS FOR AUSTIN BUTLER AND ZOE KRAVITZ
The City of Love has a new power couple, and they're dishing out major sparks on the red carpet! Austin Butler, 34, and Zoe Kravitz, 36, were spotted getting cozy at the photocall for their latest film, Caught Stealing, in Paris on Thursday. The Dune heartthrob and the Batman actress looked like two lovebirds in the making as they posed up a storm for photos at the opulent Shangri-La Hotel.
Zoe, looking absolutely stunning in her silky black maxi skirt and white top, flashed a glimpse of her toned abs while Austin chatted it up with a smile on his face. The pair, who star together in Darren Aronofsky's comedy-crime film, seemed to be having the time of their lives as they giggled and joked around.
But what really caught our attention was the undeniable chemistry between these two Hollywood heavyweights. We're not the only ones who think so – a source close to the couple told TheScholarlyNote.com that they've been spending quality time together over the past few weeks and are "getting on very well." This comes after both Austin and Zoe went through high-profile breakups in recent months.
The insider dished, "Their chemistry is as good off-screen as it is on it. They're not putting a label on anything yet, but they're definitely enjoying each other's company. They're both respectful of their ex-partners and are just seeing where things go."
But what about those romance rumors that surfaced in July? Insiders told TheScholarlyNote.com at the time that Austin and Zoe attended an immersive show called Viola's Room with director Darren Aronofsky, but were "just friends." It seems like they might have been keeping something under wraps.
Caught Stealing marks the latest high-profile collaboration between Austin and Zoe. They star alongside a talented ensemble cast, including Liev Schreiber, Matt Smith, Vincent D'Onofrio, Regina King, and even Puerto Rican hitmaker Bad Bunny! The crime-comedy film follows Hank Thompson (Butler), a burned-out former baseball player, as he's unwittingly plunged into a wild fight for survival in the downtown criminal underworld of '90s New York City.
As per Deadline, Caught Stealing "follows Hank Thompson (Butler), a burned-out former baseball player, as he's unwittingly plunged into a wild fight for survival in the downtown criminal underworld of '90s New York City." Austin has been on a roll since his breakout performance in Baz Luhrmann's Elvis biopic, which earned him a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination.
But don't just take our word for it – Austin's latest film, The Bikeriders, starring Tom Hardy and Jodie Comer, is set to hit theaters in June and has an impressive 80% "fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes. And let's not forget about Zoe's directorial debut, Blink Twice, which she worked on for seven years before taking it to the big screen! The film, starring Channing Tatum, reportedly raked in $68 million at the worldwide box office on a budget of just $20 million.
While promoting Blink Twice, Channing gushed that Zoe was an "absolute pro" and had a "visionary" approach to filmmaking. We can't help but wonder if she's finding inspiration from her real-life romance with Austin!
The question on everyone's mind: are Austin Butler and Zoe Kravitz the new power couple of Hollywood? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – they're sizzling hot on-screen and off!
