Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly always have me weird vibes ngl.

He doesn't want to get dragged in court and show his true colours.

[bostongirl2003]

mte, it does him no good booking future jobs to testify that he and JD are coke buddies

Didn't he basically propose to her because of 9/11? Like they weren't even dating, or friends really. They're still married so I guess it worked out but that will never not be weird to me.

omg i just read about that, what kinda crazy ass shit?!
he also talks about her "piercing blue eyes" which are green but ok

[cheerspinkears]

OH MY GOD there are so many layers and so many red flags 🚩🚩🚩 😫💀 I fucking can’t🥴

What?? What about 9/11?!

I had to google this and it's true!

After wrapping up A Beautiful Mind (Bettany played Russell Crowe’s college roommate, Connelly his wife), Bettany and Connelly headed their separate ways - her to New York, him to Tuscany. As the actor tells King of his 9/11 realization, “I was in Tuscany, shopping for groceries, and I saw this crowd outside a cafe, and I thought this must be a football match. I pushed myself to the front just in time to see the second plane hit the second tower, and like so many people’s lives in that moment, mine was changed forever. I spent two days trying to call this woman that I sort of barely knew. I remember very clearly thinking to myself, ‘What are you doing?’ I realized I was in love. So I finally got her on the phone and said 'I'm coming over, and let's get married'. And that's really what happened. We had never dated."

wow.

[plunaris]

I...the fact that she said yes...literally what?

[theoryofwar]

And he's not even that handsome!

I don't understand people at all, tbh.

[angriest_girl]

Nah, definitely not just you - he’s a minger.

[hellojeds]

Agreed, I don't get his appeal at all. When I watched Wimbledon I just couldn't buy him as a romantic lead.

[theoryofwar]

He's so...bland, and this is coming from someone with basic taste!! IDK, maybe if he had a better personality he'd be attractive, but everything about him is repulsive.

Anyways, I can't even get his last name right, I keep thinking it's Plattey. Every time I see Bettany, I think the person who wrote the article/whatever it is got his name wrong 😅

hadn't she been through a bad breakup when she won her oscar? i'm wondering if her decision wasn't based on some insane reckless rebound situation. then again they're still together 20 years so eh

[theoryofwar]

I have no idea, I didn’t even know they were even together until this post 😂
