Screen Couples Together Again
Rex FeaturesOur hearts melted, even if the ice-berg didn’t, as we watched Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet play star-crossed lovers, Jack and Rose, in Titanic.
Rex FeaturesEleven years later, the pair reunited under the directorship of Kate’s husband, Sam Mendes. Leo had lost some of his boyish charm but Kate Winslet hadn’t aged a day.
Rex FeaturesWhile filming their 1986 erotic thriller, 9 ½ weeks, Kim Basinger was kept isolated from Mickey Rourke so her nerviness of him would carry through onto the screen. Very creepy!
PA PhotosIn this year’s film, The Informers, Mickey and Kim built on the natural chemistry they’d developed in 9 ½ weeks – but toned down the raunchiness.
Rex FeaturesThe sex scenes between Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct were so choreographed that Sharon famously described them as the “horizontal Fred and Ginger of the ‘90s”.
PA PhotosThe pair met again when Sharon presented Michael with an honorary gong at the Costume Designers’ Guild Awards in February. Considering it’s been 17 years since they shared the screen together, both looked in pretty good shape; while Sharon denies that she’s ever resorted to cosmetic surgery, 65-year-old Michael admits he had a face lift before his wedding to Catherine Zeta-Jones.
Rex FeaturesAfter watching Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, we all wanted to shop on Rodeo Drive with Richard Gere – and his credit card.
Rex FeaturesJulia toned down the frizz and silver fox Richard had a bit more grey when the pair reunited in 1999 for Runaway Bride.
Rex FeaturesSandra Bullock had to learn how to drive a bus for her 1994 movie Speed – but then she also had to kiss Keanu Reeves so it wasn’t all bad.
Rex FeaturesFast-forward 12 years, and the pair reunited for their gentler-paced movie, The Lake House.
Rex FeaturesRomantic comedy favourites, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan first found true love over the radio in 1993’s Sleepless In Seattle.
Rex FeaturesFive years later, Tom and Meg found themselves attracted to each other again – this time over the medium of email. We reckon they’ll be finding love over text messages or Twitter next.
Rex FeaturesSex And The City’s Carrie and Mr Big were perfect for each other – she had her wardrobe of Jimmy Choos, and he has a blacked-out limo so she didn’t have to walk around in them. Sarah Jessica Parker and Chris Noth were the mojito-swigging couple of the ‘90s that we all wanted to be!
PA PhotosWhen the pair reunited for the film version of the show in 2008, the sexual tension was still there – and so was the drama!
Rex FeaturesUma Thurman and John Travolta had us all throwing V-signs across our eyes after their famous dance scene in 1994’s Pulp Fiction.
PA PhotosEleven years older and wiser, Uma and John decided to team up in 2005 for a second gangster film, Be Cool.
Rex FeaturesKylie Minogue was responsible for launching a host of meringue wedding dresses after her character, Charlene, married Jason Donavan’s Scott Robinson in Neighbours, circa 1987.
WennKylie and Jason recorded a spoof sketch for The Kylie Show in 2007 but, to the disappointment of fans, didn’t sing “Especially For You”.
Rex FeaturesClive Owen and Julia Roberts upped the sexual tension in Closer. Not that the erotically-charged drama really needed it.
Rex FeaturesJulia Roberts certainly seems to get clingy to her leading men. The pair teamed up again five years later, for espionage thriller Duplicity.
Rex FeaturesDays Of Thunder marked the beginning of the Cruise-Kidman decade. The pair met on the set of the race-car film, and were married the same year.
Rex FeaturesNicole and Tom seemed to have no qualms about sharing their home and work life, and went on to star opposite each other in Far & Away and Eyes Wide Shut. Post-divorce, we’re not holding our breathe for a fourth reunion.
Rex FeaturesMatthew McConaughey wasn’t going to let go of Kate Hudson in How To Lose A Man In 10 Days.
Rex FeaturesIn fact, two years later, Matthew was still there, starring opposite Kate in Fools Gold.
Rex FeaturesBrad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow might not have shared much screen time together in Seven, but the horror film was the start of one of the most talked-about relationships of the ‘90s – well till Brad and Jen came along.
PA PhotosWith eight children now between then, we’re expecting Brad and Gwynnie to approach working together on their new film, Dirty Tricks, with nothing but maturity.
Rex FeaturesSun, sand and…. Matthew McConaughey and Penelope Cruz got hot and steamy on and off-set during the filming of Sahara.
PA PhotosDespite splitting up in 2006, the pair are set to star alongside each other next year in thriller, The Loop
