They grew close while playing lovers in The Invisible Woman.
So no wonder Ralph Fiennes seemed to enjoy getting to grips with Felicity Jones at the film's premiere in New York on Monday.
The dynamic duo seemed to be having a great time as they posed arm-in-arm on the red carpet.

A man and his mistress: Ralph Fiennes seemed to enjoy posing with Felicity Jones at the premiere of The Invisible Woman in New York on Monday
The movie tells the story of Charles Dickens and his actress mistress Ellen Ternan, and is an adaptation of a novel by Claire Tomalin.
Balding Ralph, who plays the author, looked dapper in a two-piece suit, white shirt blue tie and leather shoes.
His Brummie counterpart Felicity, 30, was by far the easier on the eye however in a smart white dress and garish pink shoes.
Ralph, who also directed the picture, took great delight in explaining how he managed to persuade himself to take the film's main role after his first choice knocked him back.

Feeling Fiennes: The balding actor and director seemed to be having a great time hamming it up for the cameras
He said: 'He kept on bugging me that he wanted to play the part. "I kept saying, 'No, no.'"
Of course he ended up changing his mind,and he will no doubt be hoping to scoop his third Oscar nomination for his portrayal of the legendary author.
It is proving to be a habit for the 50-year-old, as he pulled the same stunt for his flop directorial debut, Coriolanus, the Shakespearean drama making just over $1m on a $7.7m budget.
The Invisible Woman is due to get a limited US release on Christmas, followed by a UK release on February 7.
