Russell Crowe and his Les Misérables co-star Samantha Barks have fuelled the romance rumours surrounding them this week.
The pair, who appeared in the award-winning musical, have been spotted getting lunch in Los Angeles together.
Samantha has been linked to the Gladiator star.
This recent sighting follows on from the speculation surrounding them at the Oscars after-party last month.
A source told New Idea magazine that they looked very close indeed: “She was continually touching his sleeve, giggling and sitting in awe of his every word, and he was lapping up every moment.”
The pair seemed to be very close during shooting.
And while the actress’s father has denied the whispers, tongues are still wagging as to whether 48-year-old Russell and 22-year-old Samantha are Hollywood’s new couple.
We’ll keep you posted…
