All the signs Aimee Lou Wood and Adam Long were falling in love IRL while making Film Club

by

In the TV series *Film Club*, Aimee Lou Wood plays Evie, a character who loves movies but struggles with agoraphobia. As the show unfolds, Evie begins to develop feelings for her best friend, Noa (Nabhaan Rizwan). This creates a tricky situation, as Evie is already in a relationship with Josh (Adam Long, known from *Happy Valley*) – and, interestingly, Long is Wood’s boyfriend in real life.

Honestly, I haven’t felt this much chemistry between two actors since Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in *Mr. & Mrs. Smith*! It’s seriously believable – I found myself completely unable to picture her character ever getting involved with that lawyer, Noa, even with their cute shared hobby of recreating movies. (And don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed the show overall!)

Given the frequent displays of affection hinted at in posts about *Film Club*, featuring Suranne Jones, it wasn’t a shock to see *White Lotus* star Aimee Lou Wood and Adam appearing as a couple at the Emmy Awards this September – they looked like a fairytale romance come to life.

What to Read Next

Within the first few minutes of the show, Aimee Lou Wood’s character, Evie, rushes to Adam and passionately kisses him, creating an instant, electrifying connection. It completely made viewers forget about her previous romance with Walton Goggins (from *The White Lotus*), as if it were a distant, fading memory.

The script called for Evie to be questioning her feelings for Josh, but Aimee’s performance didn’t reflect that. She seemed genuinely thrilled and kissed her co-star with a lot of passion. They both looked intensely happy during the kissing scenes, clearly enjoying themselves and lost in the moment.

It’s a classic case of on-set chemistry leading to a real-life romance – we’ve seen it happen before with famous couples like Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. Or, if you grew up more recently, think of Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling from *The Notebook*.

Whenever Adam’s character looks at Aimee, his eyes show a clear and sweet affection – he’s visibly smitten, even when she’s doing something unexpected like wearing a silly costume. Their connection feels especially real in a scene where she’s casually getting ready in front of him, and he holds her gaze a beat longer than necessary while professing his love, hinting at a deeper connection than just their roles.

Okay, so maybe it’s just really good acting, but honestly, the chemistry between them is *amazing*. Even when her character is totally unsure about things with Noa, she didn’t instinctively pull away when Josh kissed her neck – it felt so natural and real, way more than I think the character would have done if the actors didn’t have such a connection.

Everyone remembers the exciting beginning of a new relationship, when even the smallest touch feels wonderful and you crave being close to your partner. Actress Aimee Lou Wood portrays this well – her character clearly feels a strong connection, even though the story suggests she *should* be pushing her boyfriend away if she’s falling for someone else.

The two actors, who play a couple in the BBC Three series, clearly have feelings for each other, and it’s great to see their on-screen connection has blossomed into a real-life relationship. They first met while filming last year, but weren’t publicly seen together until recently.

Aimee Lou and Adam publicly confirmed their relationship in August by sharing a cozy photo from Glastonbury Festival on Instagram.

This confirms that Aimee Lou Wood and her *White Lotus* co-star, Walton Goggins, are not a couple. Rumors about a romantic connection began circulating earlier this year due to their chemistry on screen and activity on social media, but both actors denied them in an interview with *Variety* in June. Walton has been married to Nadia since 2011.
