Rosario Dawson and Danny Boyle’s May-December romance is over, Us Weekly has confirmed. The actress, 33, and the Oscar-winning director, 56 began dating after production wrapped on their upcoming film Trance.
“From the outside it looks like there’s a lot of dissimilarities, but we actually have a lot in common. We’re really similar people. He’s a very kind man,” said Dawson, who told Access Hollywood she made the first move during an October 2012 interview. “It was just one of those things where we were going to just go our separate ways had someone not said something.”
Dawson described her then-love as a “really brilliant human being” and a “very, very lovely, kind man.” British film maker Boyle — known for helming hits like Slumdog Millionaire, 127 Hours and Train spotting — declined to talk about their courtship during an interview with The Mail on Sunday’s Live magazine March 2, though he did praise his ex for her lack of vanity.
Despite their kind words for each other, there was palpable tension when the two reunited for the Trance press junket in L.A. over the weekend, a source tells Us. “Rosario and Danny didn’t interact during interviews,” the source says. “It was pretty obvious they’re no longer a couple.”
The source adds, “He was talking to a group of people when she arrived and it was awkward — like a cold greeting, no hug, and they got through it as quickly as possible.”
Ooh they’re not even at the “you look good” stage – that’s bad! They probably broke up recently and really dislike seeing each other. Oh well, they only have a few more premieres and events to endure together, and there are likely several people who will work to make sure they don’t have to see each other. Like the rest of us have our friends running interference with our exes these two have paid staff and support people.
What I want to know is, how did Rosario Dawson go from model Jason Lewis (from Sex & The City) to a dude old enough to be her dad? I just checked and they
broke up in 2006, though, that’s a while ago. I could have sworn it was just a couple of years ago. Time goes fast when you’re gossiping.
Here’s the red band trailer for their upcoming movie, Trance, also starring your lover, James McAvoy, and Vincent Cassal. It’s an art heist movie and it looks really good! I loved Slumdog Millionaire, but I never bothered seeing 127 Hours.
