Their coordinated outfits added a touch of casual elegance to their day, and Natalie beamed with joy as she engaged in lively conversation with the Normal people actor.

Their conversation touched on the intricacies of choosing film roles, with Natalie praising Paul’s film choices as “always so amazing.”

She noted his tendency to work with many first-time directors, asking, “How do you know you’re going to be able to make magic with these people?”

Paul’s response revealed his intuitive approach to project selection. “It’s a hunch,” he said.

“I feel very lucky to know what I like. It’s not something actors talk about enough. I don’t believe in the concept of ‘building a career’ – I think it’s about cultivating your tastes.

“Films like All of us strangers Or After Sun really feel in conversation with each other. But I also don’t want the audience to be bored or expect this kind of film from me.”

This London hangout is also notable because it follows Natalie’s recent personal developments.

THE Black Swan The star finalized her divorce from Benjamin Millepied in July 2023 after 11 years of marriage. The couple, who share two children, have remained relatively discreet about their separation.
