Vanessa Kirby and Douglas Booth’s shared screen time didn’t end with “Great Expectations.” While on the promo circuit for their 2015 film “Jupiter Ascending,” Kirby had met the next castmate she’d fall in love with, “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” star Callum Turner. In the 2014 dramedy “Queen & Country,” Kirby and Turner play siblings.
It was Turner whom Kirby was dating when the tabloids tried to play matchmaker with her and Tom Cruise. “My boyfriend found it hilarious,” she told the Daily Mail of how Turner felt about the rumors. After being forced to publicly acknowledge their relationship, Turner and Kirby began mentioning each other during interviews on occasion. When Kirby spoke to Marie Claire, we learned that Turner was present when she binge-watched the first five “Mission: Impossible” movies. “My boyfriend was like, ‘I will have that theme music in my head for the rest of my life,'” she recalled. And from Turner’s interview with WWD, we learned he attended one SoulCycle class with Kirby. “She didn’t really tell me what it was about and then I was dying, and I was shooting a movie and I couldn’t work on Monday,” he said.
While becoming more at ease with speaking about each other might seem like a positive sign for a couple, Kirby and Turner called it quits in 2020. Reportedly, the bane of Hollywood couples, the busy schedule, was to blame for the breakup.
