14. Laurence Fishburne & Gina Torres – The Matrix Reloaded
When the two stars, Laurence Fishburne and Gina Torres, were filming The Matrix Reloaded, there was an instant attraction between them. Even though Torres, who played Cas in The Matrix Reloaded, was married to the character of Dozer, that didn’t stop Morpheus from getting in some quality time with the widow. Before filming was complete, they were dating, and before the film was even released, they were married. Since 2002, when the pair was wed, they’ve kept their relationship very low key to keep it out of the public eye, but I’m sure they wouldn’t mind us discussing it here. The real-life partners also got to play a married couple on NBC’s TV show Hannibal, from 2013-2015, which must have been just the worst. No doubt the experienced Fishbourne was giving unsolicited advice to Torres whenever he could, maybe even name-dropping to make himself look awesome: “You know sweetie, when I was in Apocalypse Now, Marlon Brando offered me some advice I could pass on to you.”
