Zoe Kravitz Shines in Gown as Romance Rumors Cool with Austin Butler
SCANDALOUS ROMANCE RUMORS SWIRL AROUND ZOE KRAVITZ AND AUSTIN BUTLER AS THEY EXUDE CHEMISTRY ON THE RED CARPET
The streets of London were abuzz with excitement as Zoe Kravitz and Austin Butler made a stunning appearance at the gala screening of Caught Stealing, their latest film together. The 36-year-old actress turned heads in a daring black halterneck gown that showcased her curves to perfection, complete with a thigh-high slit and strappy heels that left little to the imagination.
Austin, 34, looked equally dashing in his oversized blazer and matching trousers, exuding an air of confidence that's hard to ignore. The two actors have been making waves with their undeniable chemistry on-screen, and it seems they're bringing the same magic off-screen as well.
But don't get too excited just yet – despite rumors of a budding romance between the two stars, insiders claim they're just "friends." Or are they? A source close to the production revealed that Zoe and Austin had been spending quality time together over the past few weeks, getting along famously. "Their chemistry is as good off-screen as it is on," the insider spilled.
It seems their on-set romance rumors have been brewing for a while now. Back in April, a source revealed that they were "getting on very well" and had even sparked whispers of a possible relationship among fans. However, with their respective splits from ex-partners Stacey Doré and Vanessa Hudgens still fresh in the air, it's unclear whether this new connection will blossom into something more.
But what about the recent sighting at an immersive show called Viola's Room? Insiders claimed they attended the event with director Darren Aronofsky, but a source quickly shot down rumors of a romantic tryst. "They're just friends," the insider assured. It seems Zoe and Austin are playing it cool for now, focusing on their respective projects rather than getting caught up in romance rumors.
Speaking of which, their upcoming film Caught Stealing promises to be a wild ride. Based on real-life events, the crime/comedy follows Hank Thompson (Butler), a former baseball player turned unlikely hero in the downtown New York City underworld of the 1990s. With a star-studded cast that includes Hollywood legend Liev Schreiber, Doctor Who icon Matt Smith, and even Bad Bunny, this film is shaping up to be one for the books.
Austin's latest high-profile role comes hot on the heels of his Oscar-nominated performance as Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann's 2022 musical biopic. His turn as the King of Rock 'n' Roll earned him a Golden Globe and catapulted him to A-list status. With projects like The Bikeriders (starring Tom Hardy and Jodie Comer) and Dune: Part Two under his belt, it's clear Austin is on a roll.
But what about Zoe? The daughter of Lenny Kravitz has been making waves in the industry for years, but her latest project Blink Twice marks a major milestone. As both star and director, Zoe brought her vision to life with Channing Tatum as her co-star. "I worked on the script for seven years before taking it to the big screen," she revealed during an interview.
Blink Twice has already raked in $68 million worldwide, making it a commercial success despite its modest budget of $20 million. With Zoe's passion project finally seeing the light of day, fans are eager to see what's next from this talented actress-director duo.
So, will Zoe and Austin's on-screen chemistry translate to real life? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – these two have got us hooked on their latest collaboration.
