The atmosphere was electric at a central London hotel this week as actors Austin Butler and Zoë Kravitz sent the rumour mill into overdrive. The pair, in the capital to promote their upcoming film, Masters of the Air, were captured sharing a series of intimate and playful moments that suggest their connection extends far beyond the silver screen.
A Steal and a Smile
During the photocall, all eyes were on Butler, 32, and Kravitz, 34, as their chemistry became impossible to ignore. In one particularly telling moment, the Elvis star was caught red-handed playfully swiping his co-star's sunglasses, prompting a fit of giggles from Kravitz. The light-hearted theft and her delighted reaction provided a candid glimpse into their evidently close bond.
Whispered Secrets and Close Encounters
The flirtation didn't stop there. Photographers snapped the duo leaning in close, sharing private jokes and whispered conversations away from the microphones. Their body language spoke volumes, with an easy comfort and frequent, knowing smiles that have set tongues wagging across the industry.
Timing Fuels Speculation
This public display of affection arrives hot on the heels of Butler's recent split from model Kaia Gerber, after nearly two years together. The news of their amicable breakup broke just last month, making his cosy appearance with Kravitz a prime topic for celebrity gossip columns. Fans were quick to dissect the images, with many convinced the pair are more than just friends and colleagues.
While representatives for the actors have yet to comment on the nature of their relationship, the photographs from London tell a story of their own. Whether a new Hollywood power couple is in the making or it was simply a case of co-stars enjoying a jovial press day, one thing is certain: Austin Butler and Zoë Kravitz have successfully captured the world's attention.
