AceShowbiz - Daisy Ridley has reportedly found love on the set of her new movie "Murder on the Orient Express". The 25-year-old actress who plays Mary Debenham sparks romance rumors with her 28-year-old co-star Tom Bateman.
The new loverbirds were outed by producer Judy Hofflund. "Something kinda happened with Tom and Daisy, right? ... but that's public news," she told PEOPLE before adding with a laugh, "I should keep my mouth shut. Oh well."
Ridley and Bateman were recently attending the premiere of the "Orient Express" at the Royal Albert Hall in London. The "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" actress looked stunning in a halter-neck green Vivienne Westwood dress while her rumored beau looked sharp in his tailored suit.
Bateman played coy when asked about the dating report, insisting that it was just a publicity stunt to draw attention to the film. "They like to create a buzz, they've got to otherwise no-one will come and see the movie!" so he claimed. Ridley also kept tight-lipped on her love life. "I'm not saying," she said in a previous interview.
The pair was joined on the red carpet by Johnny Depp, Judi Dench, Penelope Cruz, Kenneth Branagh, Willem Dafoe, Michelle Pfeiffer and Josh Gad. Depp showed up looking disheveled. His bowtie was hanging loose around his neck and he was staggering on his feet, sparking rumors that he was drunk. He was signing autograph for fans but steered away from the crowd by a bodyguard.
Directed by Kenneth Branagh, "Murder on the Orient Express" is also supported by Derek Jacobi and Leslie Odom Jr. among others. Based on Agatha Christie's 1934 novel, the movie is coming out stateside on November 10. It's the fourth adaptation of the book, following a 1974 film, a 2001 TV film and a 2010 episode of "Christie's Poirot".
