Ralph Fiennes and Chelsea Handler are most ‘random Hollywood couple’ after sparking romance rumours
The couple was seen leaving an event together.
Ralph Fiennes and Chelsea Handler were snapped leaving the Oscars after-party together and have been dubbed Hollywood’s most unlikely couple.
The couple first caught the attention of fans at the Critics’ Choice Awards in early February when the pair took part in a skit together that saw Chelsea down a glass of milk.
The bit was a reference to Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson’s raunchy film Babygirl and saw Ralph encourage the host to down the glass.
‘Good girl. Good girl. Good girl. Keep going. Don’t stop! Go on!’ he said, much to the delight of the audience.
She also took aim at him on stage saying: ‘You’ve played a ruthless nazi, evil Lord Voldemort, and now a celibate Cardinal …and somehow, made me want to have sex with you in all three roles.’
But rumours about a romantic attachment began when the pair were seen leaving an Oscars party together – arm in arm.
The images show Fiennes, 62, and Handler, 50, interlinking arms and walking away from the crowd outside the Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
