It is being said that they may have started a real-life relationship after their encounter on the set of the latest Spider-Man movie.
The chemistry evident between Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield was unmistakable during a heartfelt scene in the eagerly awaited film.
In the film, Stone, 22, who portrays Gwen Stacy, can be seen tending to 27-year-old Garfield, who appears to have multiple cuts on his torso.
Garfield steps into the role of the everyday teenager Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man, set to be released next year.
Having grown up in Epsom, Surrey, the actor ended his three-year relationship with girlfriend Shannon Woodward back in May. Meanwhile, Stone is reportedly no longer with boyfriend Kieran Culkin, adding fuel to the rumors of a budding romance.
This recently captured image showcases the British actor’s notably toned physique and muscular arms, likely a result of Garfield’s rigorous preparation for the part.
“It’s very specific what we want to accomplish regarding body type and the associated feeling,” he has stated. “Rest assured, there are many individuals assisting me because I lack discipline in that area.”
“My father is a swimming coach, and I rebelled against that early on, so any sort of physical discipline needs to be quite smartly guided,” he added.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, the actor expressed his connection with his alter ego, Peter Parker, previously portrayed by Tobey McGuire in the last three box office hits directed by Sam Raimi and featuring Kirsten Dunst.
“I’ve always felt stronger on the inside than I appeared on the outside, which often caused me trouble,” he shared with the magazine regarding his teenage experiences.
“I resonated with Peter Parker immensely as I felt like a different person internally. I adored the comic books and the animated TV series, and even dressed up as Spider-Man during my childhood.”
Garfield was only 18 when he first watched Tobey McGuire in the inaugural Spider-Man film.
“The action scenes were so expansive and awe-inspiring with Tobey swinging through the air,” he reminisces to the magazine. “It simply amazed me!”
However, the upcoming film, which is set to hit theaters next summer, promises to be different from its predecessors.
Directed by Marc Webb, it will be described as ‘more contemporary,’ ‘more gritty,’ and ‘more character-driven.’
“Tobey did an incredible job,” Garfield says. “This isn’t about replacing him. I want to be clear—it’s another chapter.”
Webb remarked on Garfield being the standout during the Spider-Man audition process.
“We auditioned hundreds of actors, followed by screen testing four or five,” he mentioned to the magazine. “Andrew was likely the least-known among them… but I kept returning to watch his audition, thinking, ‘What is this guy doing?'”
The film will also see British actor Rhys Ifans in the role of Dr. Curt Connors, who transforms into Spidey’s foe, the Lizard, due to a mishap in an experiment.
