Anyone But You co-stars Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell have been fuelling on-set romance rumors for months.
But fans have begun to question the whispers, with many wondering whether the pair have been faking their chemistry as part of a publicity stunt to promote the movie.
The film follows Bea (Sweeney) and Ben (Powell), who pretend to be the perfect couple to keep up appearances while attending a destination wedding in Australia.
Weighing in on X (formerly Twitter), one suspicious user wrote: ‘Everybody eating that Sydney Sweeney Glenn Powell drama up right now is so funny to me because it’s sooo clearly a f**king publicity stunt.’
‘All this Sydney Sweeney Glen Powell s**t is just publicity for the plot of the movie. Wake up,’ another claimed.
‘It’s so obvious all those Glenn Powell/Sydney Sweeney things were manufactured by the movie’s PR team so that the movie gets more attention. Please! Because how else would people be talking about this movie? Nobody gave a f**k before this,’ yet another wrote.
The on-set rumours began to swirl at the beginning of the year during filming and quickly gained traction after Glen quietly split with his model girlfriend Gigi Paris in April.
Sydney finally shot down the speculation during a tell-all interview with Variety, saying ‘It’s a rom-com. That’s what people want!’
She added: ‘Glen and I don’t really care.’
‘We have so much fun together, and we respect each other so much; he’s such a hard worker, and I’m a hard worker,’ she continued.
‘We’re excited for the press tour, and I literally just left ADR with him. We talk all the time like,’ the blonde beauty quipped.
Despite the pair continually denying any possibility of a romance, fans of the two Hollywood heavyweights found such statements hard to believe after the rom-com co-stars were spotted spending a lot of time together in Australia… when they weren’t filming scenes.
A production member on the film even relayed that many of the workers on set ‘thought they were already a couple.’
They continued, ‘I knew him from Top Gun. But I just assumed they were a couple in real life. That’s what it looked like to most of us. And to some of the extras as well.’
Although the 6ft heartthrob did break up with his girlfriend while filming Anyone But You, with Gigi even unfollowing the White Lotus star, Sweeney is still very much together with fiancé, Jonathan Davino, 38.
The couple were first linked in 2018, and reportedly became engaged in 2022.
Anyone But You in set to hit theaters on December 26
