Emma Watson revealed during the Harry Potter 20th anniversary special that she had a childhood crush on Tom Felton, known for playing Draco Malfoy. She recalled,

with Aniston adding that they channeled their feelings into their characters, saying,

It’s that explosive moment that happens to them on a stage in front of thousands of people…It would have been so weird if we were both on stools facing the audience.

Since starring in Speed (1994), Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves have often been rumored to share a romance, which Sandra has denied. In an Esquire interview, she said,
Keanu’s a guy who, I feel like, is friends with every woman he’s ever dated. I don’t think there’s anyone who has something horrible to say about him. So maybe we could have survived. I don’t know. But we didn’t have to survive anything. We just get to grow up together on parallel roads and tip our hats and meet for a dinner and try to work together. And the longer time goes on, the more in awe I am of the human being. Would I have been able to say that if he had dumped me and made me angry? Probably not.

Krasinski later noted that some of her comments had been taken out of context.

Coleman expressed hopes to continue working together, saying,
I honestly pray that we get to do more things together because we have that sort of spark that Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan had, and Leo and Kate, and Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, and all of these different couples that we’ve seen in movie after movie together.
