Well lets say that if they didn't want to go public with their relationship, they wouldn't have chosen to make two relatively high profile appearances almost 24 hours after that first blurry picture went on the bicycle site.

I would be more surprised if Tom hadn't been hooking up / in love with / going out with anyone in the last 12 months tbh.

202 Name: Lex : 2015-07-25 23:33 ID://h3GFge

Oh well yes seems like you, qaz, are pretty sure and want them.to be together, but it's not. Tom is not Ben, so there is not need to hint on that.

Tom would 've head different expression of he was happy with this. And paps could been called to any place if you give them direction. Its EO PR team chasing him. God, I wish this woman could go and fins herself a proper american actor with all her American PR jumps.

203 Name: Lex : 2015-07-26 05:16 ID:5TvSHW1J

I don't know why people are still saying that he wraps his hand around her neck in the first photo that Toby put pushed. I know Toby and her shitty sources that would gladly troll everyone because they hate Tom so much... He isn't wrapping his hand, He put his hand on her shoulder and I think we all know bow touchy he is And by the moment of Elizabeth's elbow I can say that a) she was friendly punching him and getting rid of him b) wrapping her hand around his waist. But since we didn't get the next movement photo, I'm sure she didn't wrap her hand on his waist, otherwise Toby's photographer would gladly make another photo, so y the weirdness of the cropped photos and the lack of the details, I can say it's a friendly banter. We all have male friends, and a lot of my friends put their hands on my shoulder when they make a joke or anything... knowing the Toby's nasty sources I can bet my life that we were shown what they wanted us to see, otherwise why crop? Why only one moment? They wanted us to see IT and nothing else.

This article says they have been dating since the film shot last year. Hmmm, could be the author going on a quick search, or could be info. that the PR for the film is releasing.

And if PR is releasing the info that they've been dating since last year, certainly that makes the timeline for EO's relationship with BH very sketchy.

The plot thickens!

Goodness so we have two Anon and now two anonymous (on of them being me haha it's getting complicated :)

206 Name: anonymous : 2015-07-26 07:13 ID:slFGFOz1

>>195 you are referring to the papa photos with Lara Pulver i suppose? I know a lot of people take that as his PR but it wasn't. Lara Pulver, who was at the time in a relationship with another actor (she might still be I don't know) is very good friends with Murray, they were tweeting before the Wimbledon final that year, so that she was there going to his victory party wasn't really for the benefit of doing a favour to TH. TH was also there for the same reason, the odd thing was that he didn't brought JA.
It was funny though when the DM didn't even recognise Lara Pulver. She even comment on it on her twitter.

207 Name: anonymous : 2015-07-26 07:16 ID:slFGFOz1

>>204 it does sound like an article written by a fan of cinema more than from a journalist with sources. Anyway, as I've been saying from the beginning, no matter what, people will think they have been hooking up while she was engaged, so this is a PR disaster for TH.

208 Name: qaz : 2015-07-26 07:23 ID:HB0EH6FJ

>>207 But then it's also a PR disaster for her, i.e. she's the one who supposedly was cheating while still engaged. Yet, many people seem to think that it's her PR. Which leads me to a conclusion that I don't understand PR at all, lol.

209 Name: Anon : 2015-07-26 07:28 ID:MFs9uVGi

Can I just (I hope in a nice way) repeat >>147?

Lex, you've now accused 2 people of holding a view because they "want" TH to be in a relationship.. That's a way of belittling a person's opinion because you are saying on some level it isn't rationally held.

As 147 said that's really not what this community is about. I found it last year and have been lurking and posting since then; others such as qaz and couch potato much longer. It is a friendly place where posters take a light hearted and at times ironic look at the life, work, loves and foibles of TH. I stayed because people treated each other with politeness and respect and above all because although they discussed (eg) JA avidly they didn't take it or themselves too seriously. And because someone always got and posted the good links and info (all the more important now we don't have Torrilla helping us in English!).

What it definitely isn't is a place where you bludgeon people with your opinion and if they still don't agree you call them over invested, say they are saying things because they "want" a particular outcome etc. If that's the style of debate you want there are other places where that is the accepted mode (eg Celebitchy). But not here. So, stay, join the conversation. But please try and remember it's not a shouting match.

210 Name: anonymous : 2015-07-26 07:29 ID:slFGFOz1

>>208 absolutely, I mention him since this thread is about him. To be honest I also believe that the fancy restaurant was her choice, that's why I don't get her behaviour. TH seems to take it as a obvious consequence but her "do not look at me I'm not here" makes little sense. Nothing makes sense! lol

211 Name: anonymous : 2015-07-26 07:32 ID:slFGFOz1

a timeline courtesy of someone at CB. Is something missing?

  1. He was seen on the Tube alone – and the tweets say he was alone – heading to the Piccadilly area.
  2. People in the theater tweeted he was there DURING the performance – indicating to me that Bradley Cooper is not Patti Lupone’s equal.
  3. People, not paps, at the theater filmed them leaving the theater together and walking and posted those videos on twitter – by this time paps with twitter accounts would have known they were in the area
  4. He called for transportation from the restaurant -( I don’t know about cabs in London or elsewhere but I know here that if I call for a cab in Boston and am not outside ready to flag it down when it arrives, my cab is leaving without me . They do not wait.)
  5. They were outside waiting for transport. TWO cabs arrived at the same time. He waved the cabs down and you can hear him tell her: “car’s here.”
  6. He opened the door for her to get in the first cab but a pap had climbed in so they abandoned that and both went to the second cab (pap owes the cab driver a lost fare)

7 He’s spotted later getting into a car by himself.

So, we can all agree that nothing makes sense!

Maybe all PR is good PR? It's the world's most simple Ven diagram?!

213 Name: Anon : 2015-07-26 07:43 ID:MFs9uVGi

>>206 I did mean the LP thing. I didn't mean it was set up for PR, more that he seemed aware that after the twitter storm he was bound to be papped and that attending without JA would send a particular message. Likewise here a night out after the recent twitterstorm would equally send a message and he would know that. I am sure he was complicit but equally I am not sure he liked the outcome much - probably wishes he had stayed with his previous rather chaotic MO. I do get the impression American PR is much more interventionalist, wanting to "get news out there" to control is release even if (as we all think) it is bad news!

214 Name: Anon. : 2015-07-26 07:46 ID:oNxY0kgS

>>211 I'm not on Twitter, but people were mentioning tweets from the Tube and even from inside The Wolseley, one from someone sat next to them, yet never linked to them, so I'm not sure if those exist.

And it could be that if they both took the Tube...well, they wouldn't be together, she would be in the carriage behind his with a purse over her face.

215 Name: anonsy : 2015-07-26 07:50 ID:P/Scdi4r

It's like the expression, "There's no such thing as bad publicity." People are certainly talking about them and I Saw the Light, which is probably exactly what whoever orchestrated all this wanted. The fact that none of it makes sense and he went home alone makes me more inclined to think it's a very casual relationship, or they're just friends and it's all for PR. It doesn't seem to fit with a full-blown relationship.

Of course I could be wrong, but we will probably never know the truth. We will just continue to get whatever story Tom, Elizabeth, their PR, the movie's PR, the press, etc. have decided to give us.

216 Name: anonymous : 2015-07-26 08:10 ID:slFGFOz1

Do you think one of them might have had tickets for theatre in advance? So going to theatre was something decided before the first 2 pics. Restaurant of course is another matter altogether.

>>214 hahaha Just the image of her using such a commoner means of transportation like the tube is enough to make me laugh, but the addition of the purse is lovely.

217 Name: anonymous : 2015-07-26 08:11 ID:slFGFOz1

It's funny how EO had a skirt incident in Paris, showing all her delicates to the world but she laughed it off, and here she was in a frenzy for photos of her face.

218 Name: Anon : 2015-07-26 08:12 ID:MFs9uVGi

>>215 VF certainly bought it! They published that article straight after the pics and said something like "of course even more interesting if they are together". And this way even with the "hooking up" is a lot better than a "TH broke up EO engagement" splash in the tabloids.

I do sense a real relationship but the going home makes me think it is at an earlier stage than I would previously have thought given when they filmed ISTL (though of course they haven't seen each other much since then). Maybe there is an element of pushing the relationship along from her side. I bet a lot of ordinary people would do the same if they had PR. It's a much bigger version of "tell all our friends we are together and hope that cements the relationship." God I would so hate to go out with someone who had "their people" - no wonder so many celebrity relationships go bad.

220 Name: Anon : 2015-07-26 08:17 ID:MFs9uVGi

Someone on CB said she pulled the same stunt when seen with Chris Evans leaving a club in April, bag over face etc. haven't seen any pics. But seemingly a selective approach to being papped. What do I know, maybe it's worse in the dark to have all that flash. Still feels fake though.

221 Name: Lex : 2015-07-26 10:40 ID:Bm8f2N/B

The message idea is interesting but I think it's not valid, because if the behaviour. Their behaviour is strange, and his first of all. She totally tried to pulled a victim so the paps could snap him protecting her but instead she got cold, irritated behaviour from Tom, though he was too gentleman to leave her behind and got her a cab. In the second video it's clear that she rushed after him in the second car so they could leave together, and it wasn't what he wanted,,, otherwise once in the car he would have acted differently with her.

I say it's her or and she tries to raise her popularity by trying to make people believe she dates a famous guy. First chris, then.Tom. she is Olsen and what else to expect?

I've just read EO really loves Swift and all. Worst case scenario, we might end up with EO writing a song about TH, or have her friend Swift writing one for her, title "Nothing makes sense"

223 Name: anonymous : 2015-07-26 14:44 ID:hDRIWDwt

>>220 considering that her people, or her, can't even feed the story right to usweekly, they took the cab leaving a restaurant not on their way to theatre, that it feels fake makes sense. Yes! Something that makes sense :)

227 Name: anonsy : 2015-07-27 20:57 ID:P/Scdi4r

>>224 I tend not to put much stock in those blind item websites. There were several people bragging on tumblr last month about making up completely fake gossip and getting it published. I agree that the one about Tom and Elizabeth does sound kind of hostile, and there isn't any new information in it, so I'm going to go with angry fan submission or the website itself doing a "let's post a very believable non-disprovable story to boost our own credibility" move. I think a real insider would have given some details other than the ones the general public has already heard or speculated.

228 Name: Anon : 2015-07-27 21:07 ID:MFs9uVGi

>>227 I agree nothing more factually than jumping to an obvious conclusion that they will presumably never admit to. I was just interested that others think it has been badly handled - it's not that we just don't understand how PR works.

229 Name: anonsy : 2015-07-27 21:09 ID:P/Scdi4r

>>228 Yes! I feel the same way. Sometimes I start to wonder if it's just me lol. It's nice to know we're not the only ones who think something weird is going on there.

230 Name: Anon : 2015-07-27 21:49 ID:MFs9uVGi

The old "never explain never apologise" seems to be right out of fashion. No, let's positively draw attention to "getting close" (cough, shagging) on set and also make it sound like cheating to get casual sex by talking about "hooking up." I still maintain there would have been so much less to talk about had they said nothing in May and then appeared together now.

231 Name: anonsy : 2015-07-27 21:58 ID:P/Scdi4r

>>230 You're probably right. I don't know, it's just one big PR mess to me. Can't seem to get my mind around it in any scenario. If it's a fake relationship - doesn't make sense. If it's real and serious - doesn't make sense. If it's real and casual - doesn't make sense. Ugh.

234 Name: Anon : 2015-07-27 22:29 ID:MFs9uVGi

Always wondered about the business sense of that particular relationship given they are apparently good mates. Too close for objectivity on eithe side. Maybe better with someone else as boss to oversee decisions but now - how can he suggest or TH easily accept tough decisions? (like, don't do what she tells you about PR)

235 Name: Anon : 2015-07-27 22:32 ID:MFs9uVGi

Sorry I mean Luke may have been a better publicist to TH when he had a boss in that larger firm.

237 Name: anonymous : 2015-07-28 09:22 ID:avXg7Abd

Indeed it is a PR mess. With JA after all, unless you were a fan or an ELLEUK's journalist, aside from Wimbledon's photo nothing else made it to the public, so he got away with only a couple of questions.
Now he has 3 films to promote, meaning a very long PR season, from sept. to March at least. He won't be able to elude questions. Whether this with EO was nothing more than friends hanging out or true love with no engagement overlapping, or just PR, only matters to his fans, to the general public what happened is that she was engaged, she made a film with TH, engagement was broken, TH and EO are dating with an Oscar-bait film, so add the PR element. The more they wait to address this, the worst is going to look.

>>241 no you are right, it's been 2 years since I followed TIFF for OLLA and I didn't remember this detail. My "Hmm" was because if it's ok for a film like OLLA to not appear right away, it's odd for a supposedly Oscar contender like ISTL - HR I wasn't really expecting it, CP I'm sure it will appear later.

"Fan" who tweeted that she knew for certain (possibly even bet her life) that Tom was not going out with Lizzie. When challenged, she shot back that she knew him and was a neighbour.

Turns out not to be true. S/he is now tweeting abuse about EO (predictable).

Just hope that this person has someone in his/her real life to ground her as life just is too short to be so invested in these almost fictional celebrities.

246 Name: Lex : 2015-07-29 00:41 ID:MgTGeiIR

According to the latest article about Kong and the new casting the script isn't ready and it won't start until the end of the year/early next year. Still, one can do a renewal of his working visa ahead of time I think.

256 Name: Lex : 2015-07-29 16:16 ID:xsPX35RB

Oh ok, I lost the track for the info. He will need a working visA, especially if he will work there for Skull Island and Marvel stuff... I still think it's his working hours coming closer.

258 Name: anonsy : 2015-07-29 16:22 ID:P/Scdi4r

>>255 I think you're correct. If he's getting his visa that means filming dates have probably been set, as I believe you need to provide travel dates when applying for a work visa, so that would be good news for the production.

259 Name: anonymous1 : 2015-07-29 16:26 ID:MjU+cJ7y

>>258 I wondered about that too, but I'm not a working visa expert for the US. For example, when he was in SDCC he was working, did he have a specific visa for that occasion or is there a, I don't know, year long visa that you merely need to renew, so specific dates won't be needed?

260 Name: Lex : 2015-07-29 16:35 ID:xsPX35RB

Ok.I asked the person who knows stuff a out working visas in US, and she said when you have no more then three days of working you can go by tourist visa, but if it's longer, you need to apply far before hand. And they are incredibly hard to get and it doesn't matter are you a general mortal or Tom. So it makes sense if he is applying now.

261 Name: anonsy : 2015-07-29 16:38 ID:P/Scdi4r

I just looked through some government websites and it seems like what Tom did for SDCC would count as a "business trip" and would therefore be exempt from visa requirements (citizens of certain countries including UK are exempt for that sort of travel), but filming a movie would require a work visa.

262 Name: anonymous1 : 2015-07-29 16:45 ID:MjU+cJ7y

>>260 >>261 that makes sense. In that case it's likely that he has dates for when production starts.

263 Name: Lex : 2015-07-29 16:47 ID:xsPX35RB

Anonsy, yes you are right, that's what I was told. Everything that is more then a week, goes for working visA. Plus this, it's necessary for an employee to sent you an invitation, so you DO need to provide a exact date of travel and working days.

Hollywood Elsewhere published an article about Tom and ISTL. The article is strange and the author says "EO and TH have been in relationship since shooting",which I found rather nasty, because even after the fiasco nearly a week ago no one confirmed anything. I wish people stop assuming that they are dating.

The article is rather venomous about the film btw. You can see it lipstick alley site, that thread 4, post #390, page 26.

269 Name: Anon. : 2015-07-29 19:46 ID:tV4U1BfJ

I think we dismissed that article when it was linked. However, someone over at LSA says that the author used to write for People, EW, and the LA Times, and that he has very good sources.

I think this tea kettle has been boiling since they filmed.

So juicy.

270 Name: anonsy : 2015-07-29 20:16 ID:P/Scdi4r

>>269 I know I dismissed because it was mostly a rehashing of tweets that we had already seen. It was also written after the paparazzi pics and both Us Weekly articles, so "in a relationship since shooting" was already commonly believed and reported on the internet.

271 Name: Anon. : 2015-07-29 20:40 ID:tV4U1BfJ

>>269 I'll agree with 'commonly believed' on the internet, but has it been 'reported' on the internet?

That's certainly not the story they're putting out, is it - together since filming? That story seems to be:

  1. We platonically enjoyed working together during filming.
  2. May US Weekly - We're casual, texting, "hooking up"
  3. July pap photos and US Weekly - Yes, we're together and we're getting serious.

>>272 Take what she says with a severe pinch of salt. Look at the posts on the last thread....

276 Name: anonymous1 : 2015-07-30 08:37 ID:xp4ZE5sE

>>274 I always thought she only stopped because TH was away filming.
>>275 I know, I have been posting here since the first thread ;)

Oh no not that liar again... and I thought she decided to stop. And yes, you are right, you have to take everything she says with a large pinch of salt, she likes to change her answers and delete those that can easily show she is lying. I was following her log for a long time and I remeber what she was doing.

About the VISA - yes, I'm so bored that the VISA thing is the most interesting thing I can post, mainly because I hope he'll drop out of this film - a couple of posters at CB wrote this:

"a US work visa, an O/1 you need to go for an interview at the US embassy. They're initially issued for 3 yrs then need to be renewed annually."

"He probably had the P-2 like Dan Radcliffe, project-to-project, and is getting it bumped up,"

Which makes me think that the new VISA or a renewal of an existing one isn't necessarily linked to Kong filming.

279 Name: Lex : 2015-07-30 14:49 ID:EgR5e2Hx

According to the latest news, Russel Crowe joined the Skull Island, as well as the lady, Brie something. Tom really wants that project so he won't drop out.

And he renewed his visa for Skull Island I'm sure. And he'd better dropped out from ISTL when he had a chance. Skull Island is nothing bad btw.

As far as his choices go, I think he's ticking off some boxes at this point in his career, perhaps trying to show his range and find his "best" type of role. I know he says that he follows his gut/heart when selecting roles; well, he's got a brain, I'm sure he follows that too.

He did the comic book blockbuster (Marvel), he did the dark indie thing (OLLA), his did the romantic/artsy movie (DBS / Capa which never happened), he did horror - although romantic and gothic - with CP.

ISTL is his Oscar bait bio film - and >>279 It will be fine, despite whatever is happening in his private life.

TNM is his TV action man/ spy project; I'm sure he's hoping that it will maybe get him on some Bond shortlists. It might.

Kong is his action man/ blockbuster role. >>278 I'll agree that it is looking stinkerish (it's never good when scripts are being re-written and filming schedules pushed back). However, I don't think he'll drop out - unless it conflicts with Marvel next year - as it's a tick in a box.

281 Name: Lex : 2015-07-30 16:26 ID:EgR5e2Hx

Nothing is going on in his private life. He and EO are just friends.
And I can bet that ISTL will be a failure, or at least not that good movie to be noticed. I'm certain that this choice was a mistake for him, he overdid it.

282 Name: anonsy : 2015-07-30 19:30 ID:P/Scdi4r

>>280 Don't forget military man in War Horse. :-) Definitely checking off the boxes.

>>272 That woman was caught in so many lies, I wouldn't believe anything she says. I don't look at the tumblr blogs anymore, I couldn't handle the drama lol. If anything interesting or important happens over there, I figure someone here will fill me in.

283 Name: anonymous1 : 2015-07-30 20:03 ID:xp4ZE5sE

>>280 yes, that's really what bothers me with Kong, the fact that the script has been rewritten many times, that clearly director and production don't go along, the change in location, many bad signs. I'd like TH to go on with his good film streak (even in The Deep Blue Sea wasn't exceptional). About ISTL I read that they tweeted this week that they were editing or doing some post-production work. Maybe after the test screenings they decided to make some changes? And HR hasn't a trailer out yet, worried about that one too!

284 Name: Anon. : 2015-07-30 20:58 ID:tV4U1BfJ

>>283 Maybe we're all sniffing around the wrong trash can!

We're all EO, paps and gossip when we should be worried that some of his upcoming films seem to be a little undercooked?

285 Name: anonsy : 2015-07-30 21:25 ID:P/Scdi4r

>>284 That's the REAL reason for all of the sudden love life gossip - to distract us from how his future projects aren't looking too good.

286 Name: Anon : 2015-07-30 23:02 ID:MFs9uVGi

I have such high hopes of HR - great novel, director and cast.

I've had a bad feeling about ISTL for a while. I loved Walk the Line but I do feel ISTL will struggle to live up to that, not least in its lightness of touch. ISTL sounds so flipping earnest and trying so hard to be profound and moving (and to win things...). The hallmarks of a well-meaning flop I fear. I just love going to the cinema and being pleasantly surprised, like wow, that little low budget labour of love and it was amazing. They have killed that feeling right out of the gate with all the advance publicity. Now if it isn't amazing we'll feel cheated. It makes it look like it was a project created to get an Oscar nomination. I'm sure it wasn't but that's how it feels, to me anyway.

287 Name: Anon. : 2015-07-30 23:24 ID:tV4U1BfJ

>>286 I hope ISTL works, I really do. With everything he seemed to put into it, I think his itty, bitty heart will break if it's not received well. I don't even think he'd be happy with his performance being praised, he wants the whole movie to be.

288 Name: anonsy : 2015-07-31 01:10 ID:FTVJPJCl

I honestly don't care much about I Saw the Light - it just doesn't interest me. Perhaps I'll rent it eventually, only because I enjoy Tom's work. I've been excited for Crimson Peak for a long while though, and I am looking forward to High Rise as well.

289 Name: qaz : 2015-07-31 04:53 ID:HB0EH6FJ

>>288 Same here. Only I probably will not even rent it, it's just so not my cup of tea - unless it gets really glowing reviews, maybe then it'll pique my curiosity.
Same as I still haven't seen War Horse - I don't like movies about wars and don't like movies about animals, so Tom or no Tom, Spielberg or no Spielberg, there's no chance I'm seeing something called War Horse, lol.
Or his early indies.

290 Name: Anon : 2015-07-31 05:31 ID:MFs9uVGi

>>287 Oh god I am sure he will be heartbroken if it bombs. Can't see the new relationship lasting if the reviews are bad either - it's one thing to fall in passionate star-crossed lurve on the amazeballs project of a lifetime. Quite another to shag someone else's bird while polishing a well meaning turd. He could soon be living in a hell of his own devising. I do really hope not but, held back by the script - oh noes....

291 Name: anonymous1 : 2015-07-31 06:15 ID:i5vNgr31

>>288 yeah I don't care much about ISTL either, I said so from the start, but I still hope for him that it will at least be a good film; though I agree that this initial burst of publicity, intentional or fortuitous, doesn't make you want to support it one bit. I'm happy that the Venice Film Festival director said that CP is beautiful and sounded very disappointed they couldn't have it at the festival, at least one film I'm sure it's good.

292 Name: Anon : 2015-07-31 06:22 ID:WRaQsy/f

>>291 Nor me if I'm honest. Nor seemingly a lot of TH fans. and HW has a lot of crazy fans seemingly who are not necessarily well disposed towards it or him. Another reason for my ominous feelings about it. I do hope I am wrong.

293 Name: anonymous1 : 2015-07-31 06:34 ID:i5vNgr31

A girl on twitter posted an image of an article on Star Magazine talking about TH and EO. I couldn't find the tweet with the image, but I read that this magazine is rag of rags, so yeah for TH, for a guy who talked big about reputation, decency, truthfulness and so on, he is achieving some great results here, maybe that's why he looked so utterly annoyed in the taxi. Somewhere Laurence Fox is having a laugh.

Star Magazine is one tiny rung up from the tabs with alien and Elvis stories. Poor guy.

Now I feel he should get an Oscar just for the pap fiasco and having to appear in Star.

This has been handled so badly.

Jesus take the wheel.

296 Name: anonsy : 2015-07-31 06:50 ID:P/Scdi4r

"Tom's not the sort to go for someone else's girl, so he waited until he heard her relationship was over." That's some nice damage control there. I couldn't be rolling my eyes any harder.

297 Name: anonymous1 : 2015-07-31 06:54 ID:i5vNgr31

>>295 that's what I'm starting to wonder about, is it realistic for TH's PR to handle it so badly? It seemed to me that after the circus bear label in 2013 he tried to highlight that he was also serious about his job and not a clown. Will he really plan to throw that away to get this?

298 Name: yep : 2015-07-31 06:54 ID:rirA8+qZ

"The he called her that very day"

Goodness

299 Name: anonsy : 2015-07-31 06:57 ID:P/Scdi4r

>>298 I mean really though. Who calls someone up the day they get out of a three year long relationship? And the whole write up is so cheesy and sappy, like they're trying to make it sound like a Nicholas Sparks novel. Ugh.

300 Name: anonymous1 : 2015-07-31 06:58 ID:i5vNgr31

>>296 >>298 it's pretty bad, yes. And unfortunately for him, people tend to remember more these kind of article than articulated ones.
