Austin Butler looked very cosy with his co-star Zoe Kravitz as the pair attended the Caught Stealing photocall in London on Tuesday.
The Elvis star, 34, and the American filmmaker, 36, beamed from ear to ear as they gazed at each other and hugged in front of the cameras.
The two actors previously sparked romance rumours following their respective splits, however a source poured cold water on the claims when speaking to TMZ.
Back in April, a source revealed that the co-stars ‘had been spending time together over the past few weeks and were ‘getting on very well.’
They told the Sun: ‘Their chemistry is as good off-screen as it is on it. Austin and Zoe have been keeping it under the radar and aren’t putting a label on anything yet. They are both very respectful of their ex-partners and are just seeing how things go.’
However more recently, sources claimed they definitely aren’t dating after rumours hit fever pitch when they were seen at an immersive show called Viola’s Room in July.
