An Oscar romance is blossoming between fellow awards nominees Lupita Nyong’o and Jared Leto.
The pair, who are up for Best Supporting Actress and Actor, were
spotted alone together at a table at the intimate Crosby Street Hotel
early Wednesday evening.
They were cozying up between attending numerous Fashion Week shows
and events, and according to a witness, “They were huddled at a corner
table together looking very close.”
Another source said Nyong’o was staying at the Soho hotel for a night
after flying into town from LA for Calvin Klein’s fashion show.
There have been whispers during Hollywood’s awards season about the
off-screen chemistry between Leto and Nyong’o. The two have stayed close
together at the Golden Globes and other events leading up to the March 2
Oscars. They even appear side-by-side on the cover of Vanity Fair’s
Hollywood issue with Julia Roberts and George Clooney.
The afternoon after meeting with Leto, Nyong’o made a splash at Fashion
Week, where she sat between Anna Wintour and Naomi Watts at Francisco
Costa’s Calvin Klein show at Spring Studios. Nyong’o also currently
graces the cover of New York magazine’s spring fashion issue and W
magazine’s movies issue. Leto was spotted at a show by designer Jeremy
Scott.
Meantime, sources said Nyong’o had an on-set romance with her co-star
Chiwetel Ejiofor while they were filming the drama for Brit director
Steve McQueen. But we’re told the love match fizzled once the movie
wrapped. Leto has previously been linked to Cameron Diaz. He landed in
Paris Thursday and tweeted, “Going on a jetlag powered run.” Reps for
Nyong’o and Leto didn’t comment on their cozy meeting.
