There are certain pictures that you think, eeww, as he looks so young. He was only 17/18 when they met and he auditioned, and she fought for him to get the role and spent the majority of the shoot acting like a schoolgirl in pigtails and making it clear she was only interested in him to the point other cast and crew were ignored as she made it clear to everyone he was 'hers'.
I know it's been said before, but it is 100% true that if this were the other way around and it was an older director who lovebombed a young actress to the point the rest of his cast and crew were ignored by him, there would rightly be an uproar about it, yet for some reason, she seems to get a pass with people claiming it is just jealousy that has people calling it out. Even the media is reluctant to say anything, and if it is talked about, they make out it is so romantic to the point I have only ever seen one reporter call it what it is.
