This One Is Distinct From The Others On This List
On the surface it seems to be the same as the others on this list. Paul Bettany, an English actor, had a crush on Jennifer Connelly before he ever met her. As a youngster, he had a poster of her up in his room, and he proudly showed it out.
Years later, the pair was still working together, but they were also dating other individuals. Bettany hunted Connelly down and proposed to her shortly after the September 11th terrorist attacks. Even though they weren’t even dating, she accepted his proposal! They now have two children as a family.
