Since the beginning of this year, Hollywood’s most fashionable couple, Robert Pattinson and Timothee Chalamet, have been making headlines around the world for their blossoming romance. The pair first came into the public eye as friends before evolving into romantic partners, with their relationship garnering universal praise from fans and media alike. Now that their romance has been officially recognized, numerous journalists and observers have taken the opportunity to speculate on how this budding union will affect their on-screen collaborations – particularly considering they are set to shoot several major projects together in the coming months.

Inseparable Buddies

Prior to announcing their engagement, the England-born actor revealed that he had long admired the work of the British film director Robert Pattinson, particularly his 2013 indie darling Belle. In the movie, Pattinson played a character loosely based on King George, whose affair with an American divorcee (played by Jessica Chastain) lands him in the midst of a royal scandal. Pattinson followed up Belle with another acclaimed film, Cosmo, which chronicled the epic road trip of a man and his dog in search of love. Both films were highly successful ventures, ensuring the high-profile collaborations between the two.

Given their undeniable on-screen chemistry and mutual adoration for each other’s work, it would come as no great surprise if this budding romance turned into a fruitful partnership. Indeed, the pair have proven to be so inseparable that it has spawned multiple theories regarding their future collaborations. Here we examine some of the most intriguing of these theories.

Will They Retire From Acting?

One of the most exciting developments in the world of film in the last year has been the emergence of the “It-girl,” a moniker adopted by Taylor Swift, Kylie Jenner, and countless other young women who burst on to the scene and then became household names overnight. While these supermodels may seem like an unlikely future career for a leading man, one Hollywood insider has suggested that the 52-year-old actor may be set to retire from acting, having already accrued a stellar portfolio of critically acclaimed films in which to call his own.

Asked about his future after Cosmo, Pattinson replied: “I don’t really know what I’m going to do next; I’m open to offers” – a statement that has since become famous in Hollywood circles. If Pattinson does indeed intend to retire from acting, this would be a spectacular way to bow out – particularly on the heels of Cosmo, a poignant character study about a man whose world is turned upside down by the unexpected arrival of a puppy. It’s an unassailable case for anyone who has seen or read the film that, when faced with this new found love, Pattinson’s character undergoes a complete transformation, developing a whole new set of motivations and actions.

Do They Need To Collaborate For Their Mutual Success?

The pair’s star status undoubtedly means that they will be able to work together on multiple projects. Given their undying love for each other and their shared adoration for acclaimed British directors like Mike Mills and Ken Loach, it would come as no great surprise if they were to take on projects that they feel passionately about. What’s more, considering their cinematic histories, it’s clear that they will be collaborating for the foreseeable future regardless of what project they take on – whether it’s big or small. The only question is, will they need to?

As one of the most prominent figures in Hollywood, Pattinson will be able to demand high-profile projects with the twist that they will be produced by and/or directed by one of the most prominent figures in Hollywood. While this may not always translate into great material (take a look at Sister Wives for evidence), it’s an undeniable advantage to have such a beautiful and talented person at the beck and call of the director.

Is This The Start Of A Dynasty?

The most exciting development in the world of film in the last year has been the emergence of the “it-girl,” a moniker adopted by Taylor Swift, Kylie Jenner, and countless other young women who burst on to the scene and then became household names overnight.

Will They Play Matchmakers For Big Hollywood Stars?

While their on-screen chemistry is unquestionable, it’s important to remember that these are just acting roles – albeit ones that have transcended the realms of cinema and now occupy the pages of our best-selling magazines. While it would be wonderful to see these beloved movie stars end up together in real life, the fact remains that they are just professional collaborators who happen to have fallen in love – at least, for now.

What’s more, it’s essential to remember that even if these high-profile stars do end up getting married, it doesn’t necessarily mean that their union will be happy or long-lasting. Take Angelina Jolie and her four marriages for example – she’s been married three times, the most recent of which was to Brad Pitt. With one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood in a committed relationship with a man who’s also one of its most bankable stars, it’s safe to assume that she’s found her perfect match.

Despite the fact that they’ve been seen as one of Hollywood’s most fashionable couples, it’s important to remember that Robert Pattinson and Timothee Chalamet are just acting partners who happen to have fallen for each other. The two have undoubtedly found each other’s company to be compelling and enjoyable, but ultimately they will need to find their own ways to communicate when the cameras are rolling and the workday is over.
