Couples in Fiction and Reality: A Life from a Movie

It is common to believe that working with your partner supposes an added strain on the relationship, because all the problems that arise in the workplace end up leading to an argument at home. In the world of cinema something very curious happens, and that is that there are a large number of couples in reality, who either by chance or due to a film marketing decision have ended up being spouses also on the big screen. These are just some of the couples in fiction and in real life that have left the filmography of some actors: Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling in “Crossroads” (Sidney Kimmel Entertainment) The film in question was the family drama Crossroads and it is impossible to observe certain scenes without thinking that these two figures really love each other. In Derek Cianfrance’s film, Gosling plays a risky fairground biker who wants to care for and start a family with the character of Eva Mendes, however his troubled past will lead him to mark the destiny of his offspring through poor decisions. Bardem and Penélope Cruz Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz in “Loving Pablo” (RTVE) They are, by far, the most mediatic Spanish couple and a completely consolidated relationship (They have been together for more than 20 years). The most talented children in Spanish cinema met while filming Jamón Jamón, but it was a long time before they formalized their relationship. They have been a couple in fiction several times, the last one under the watchful eye of Fernando León de Aranoa in Loving Pablo. In this story, Bardem played Pablo Escobar and Penelope the journalist Virginia Vallejo.A story of pure passion of lovers, where the actress has acknowledged in subsequent interviews that she was unable to speak to her husband for some time due to the memory of the intensity of the drug dealer’s performance. Emily Blunt and John Krasinski John Krasinski and Emily Blunt in « A Quiet Place ”(Paramount Pictures) Krasinski directs and plays the father of a family in this post-apocalyptic world, in which earth-dwelling creatures have ultra-sensitive hearing capable of attacking anyone who makes the slightest noise. Emily Blunt is the mother and with her two children (and another on the way) she tries to lead a normal life on a farm on the outskirts of the city. Recently, several rumors emerged about the possibility of this couple playing the two leaders and husbands of Fantastic 4, Reed Richards and Sue Storm. Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara Rooney Mara and Joaquin Phoenix in “Maria Magdalena” (Filmnation entertainment ) It is one of the couples in fiction and in real life best known and loved by Hollywood. They met on the set of Her, where Rooney Mara played the ex of Phoenix’s character. From there arose a beautiful friendship that years later would derive in relationship. In the cinema we have been able to see them together again, not as a couple, but as a special sentimental relationship in María Magdalena. Phoenix played the son of God, and Mara played Mary Magdalene, in a story that rediscovers the figure of this apostle of the apostles, as John Paul II well defined her.
