That looks like amore <\/em>to us.<\/p>\n

Almost a year after sparking dating rumors\u2014and then were seen on actual dates\u2014Lily-Rose Depp<\/a><\/strong> and Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet<\/a><\/strong>showed this month that busy divergent schedules can make the heart grow fonder. Or at the very least really ramp up the urge to make out on a yacht<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The young actors, who play husband and wife in the Shakespearean mashup The King<\/em>, reunited in Italy for both the film’s world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, and for some alone(ish) time in Capri a few days later.<\/p>\n

The movie premiered on Sept. 2 and Chalamet, 23, and Depp, 20, walked the red carpet together, in that they technically were walking at the same time, next to each other, while flashes went off, but they did not pose for any official-couple pics. They did, however, look like dear friends, all smiles and sharing laughs outside and inside the theater, where they were seated a couple of co-stars apart.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“I feel so blessed to have been able to work with everyone on the team,” Depp told Italy’s Venezia 76<\/a> at the premiere, “with…David [Mich\u00f4d] the director and Joel [Edgerton, who also plays Falstaff], the co-writer, and just everybody was amazing, so it’s really a pleasure.”<\/p>\n

She knew that so much as uttering the word “Timoth\u00e9e” would make headlines, so she stuck to “the team” (though it’s always good form to name-check your writers and director).<\/p>\n

The pair have been expertly avoiding talking about each other, but they couldn’t help but share some adoring glances\u2014usually one at a time, when the other wasn’t looking, which was pretty adorable\u2014at the premiere.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

The King<\/em>, adapted from the four Shakespeare plays known as the “Henriad,” opens in limited release Oct. 11 and then hits Netflix on Nov. 1, so streaming shippers can then examine the chemistry between the stars as many times as they want. The Oscar-nominated Chalamet plays King Henry V, known for laying waste to France during his short reign, and Depp is his wife, Catherine of Valois, whose father, Charles VI, was the king of France. <\/p>\n

Complicated.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

In real life their respective families aren’t so diametrically opposed. Chalamet is the Manhattan-born son of a Marc Chalamet<\/strong>, a UNICEF publications editor from France and Nicole Flender<\/strong>, a Broadway dancer and actress. His older sister, Pauline<\/strong>, is also an actress.<\/p>\n

Chalamet’s inner circle includes fellow New Yorker and son-of-artists Ansel Elgort<\/a><\/strong>, and he dated<\/a> Madonna<\/a><\/strong>‘s daughter Lourdes Leon<\/a><\/strong> for almost a year back when they were teenagers and classmates at La Guardia High School for Music & Art and Performing Arts\u2014so he learned at a young age what it was like having your picture taken on date night.<\/p>\n

“Date is very much a scary word, because then that context has been established,” Chalamet told W<\/em> in 2018<\/a>. “You can always see people on early date behavior.”<\/p>\n

Depp, meanwhile, was born in Paris, the daughter of French singer Vanessa Paradis<\/a><\/strong> and Johnny Depp<\/a><\/strong>, and she originally wanted to sing, too, but she hated performing at a school talent show so much, she realized that wasn’t the artistic direction for her. Modeling and eventually acting awaited instead. She was linked to model Ash Stymest<\/strong> for almost two years, breaking up in the spring of 2018, according to Just Jared<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“It is delicate being my age, and trying to do all the regular teenager stuff, and then having that in the spotlight,” Depp told Love <\/em>magazine<\/a> in 2016. “But I am grateful for what it brings and it is honestly a small price to pay to get to do what I want to do\u2014I am very happy about that.”<\/p>\n

She and Chalamet\u2014newly christened “Limoth\u00e9e” by The Cut<\/a>\u2014started filming The King<\/em> in June 2018 in Romania, and a few months later were spotted enjoying autumn in New York, having coffee, walking through Central Park together and, no joke, kissing in the rain<\/a> after visiting a trendy fried chicken spot in the East Village.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“They were very sweet together,” an eyewitness shared with E! News. “They wrapped their arms around each other in line and linked arms the entire time. They seemed very happy to be together.”<\/p>\n

After dinner, “they huddled together in the rain but loved being outside and were laughing and smiling the entire time. They seemed very into each other.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

That December, the day after Christmas, they were bundled up and strolling through Paris.<\/p>\n

Then it was back to the business of being Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet for the actor, who Ladybird<\/em> director Greta Gerwig<\/strong> described to GQ<\/em><\/a> as “a young Christian Bale<\/a><\/strong> crossed with a young Daniel Day-Lewis<\/a><\/strong> with a sprinkle of young Leonardo DiCaprio<\/a><\/strong>, and then raised speaking French in Manhattan and given a Mensa-level IQ and a love of hip-hop.” He had his second eventful awards season in a row, nominated for a Golden Globe and a SAG Award for his performance in Beautiful Boy<\/em>, playing a drug addict whose father (Steve Carell<\/a><\/strong>) is trying desperately to save. Mom Nicole was his date to the Globes (his sister went with him in 2018) and he noticeably didn’t strike up any particularly cozy-looking conversations with any ladies at the after-parties.<\/p>\n

Asked on the Globes carpet if he’d be meeting up with Depp later, Chalamet chuckled and pointed out that he was there with his mother, who told Access Hollywood<\/a><\/em>, “I approve that he’s here with me, that he took me to the Golden Globes, of course. I’m so happy to be here. I mean, it’s wonderful, right?” When the interviewer noted that Lily appeared to make him speechless, Chalamet graciously chuckled and said, “Yeah.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Depp had two movies come out this year, the French chiller Savage <\/em>in January, and A Faithful Man<\/em>, which premiered at the New York Film Festival. She also attended the Chanel Cruise show in Paris with her mom in May.<\/p>\n

So, she and Chalamet just so happened to be leading parallel lives\u2014hanging out with their mothers, getting photographed, speaking French\u2014leading up to their Venetian holiday.<\/p>\n

While Depp was unsurprisingly a vision in Chanel at The King <\/em>premiere, Chalamet\u2014already well on his way to becoming a male style icon\u2014stole the notices with his cummerbund-on-the-outside silver Haider Ackermann suit over a satin collarless shirt.<\/p>\n

When he was doing press for Call Me By Your Name<\/em> back in 2017, he didn’t take any of the “and how about your<\/em> love life?” bait, telling the LA Times<\/em> it was “impossible to compare” anything he’d been through in real life to the transformative, 1980s-set love affair that plays out in the film between him and Armie Hammer<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“There wasn’t the all-bearing force field protector of looking at your phone if you’re in an uncomfortable situation, which defuses about 97 percent of the interesting moments we have in life,” Chalamet noted.<\/p>\n

The same certainly goes for a marriage-in-the-name-of-empire-building set in the 1400s, as well.<\/p>\n

“There’s modern allegories [of this film’s plot] in the world,” Chalamet told reporters at a press conference for the film in Venice. “There are people still today that come into power by lineage\u2026and who wield it in any way they want.” Depp was excited to be playing such a strong woman (especially for the time period), telling W<\/em><\/a> that her character’s mother taught her “to not let her life be driven by the men around her.” <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Certainly words to live by in any era.<\/p>\n

Coincidentally, in it’s-a-small-world news, Depp was busy in Montreal earlier this year playing Armie Hammer’s sister in the upcoming Dreamland<\/em>, inspired by the 2015 book about the origins of the U.S. opioid crisis. Chalamet remained close to Hammer and his wife Elizabeth Chambers <\/strong>after Call Me By Your Name<\/em>, so the double dating possibilities are now the stuff dreams are made of.<\/p>\n

But if there’s one thing Depp learned from her parents when it came to being a public figure attempting to lead a private life, it’s that the less she reveals, the easier it will be for her in the long run.<\/p>\n

“My parents did a great job of giving me and my brother the most private upbringing we could have, so to value your private life and to keep it for yourself has always been important to me,” she told Post Magazine<\/em><\/a> in June.<\/p>\n

Which is why, publicly at least, Chalamet has been relegated to “the team” for now.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
