Calista and Robert clicked straight away the minute they met. below are some quotes from Enqirer magazine.
"Their chemistry on screen was the same off screen, they were always joking aroung together between shoots and loved working
together."
"ALLY McBEAL stars Calista Flockhart and Robert Downey Jr. aren't acting when they steam up the camera with passionate kisses."
"It's turning into love for the two stars off the set" pals say.
"When the camera stops, the smooching doesn't," a source close to Calista told The ENQUIRER.
The romance is a true case of life imitating art, said a show insider.
"Robert's character was written into the show as a romantic relationship for Ally. His charisma and charm knocked Calista
off her feet." The insider told The ENQUIRER
She's described their onscreen kissing scenes as one of the great perks of her job. Now, Calista and Robert sneak off to her
dressing room and their scenes together on the show have become even hotter.
"While the gang on 'Ally McBeal' is aware of the steamy new affair, the couple has not gone public with the news."
"Robert and Calista have been out to private, late night dinners together on the west side of L.A and recently they went to
a hot new L.A club called Deep, where they found a dark corner and spent the night whispering
in each other's ears."
Both had prior romantic interests: Calista had been seeing comedian-actor Garry Shandling and Robert was trying to patch things
up with his estranged wife Deborah Falconer when he first got out of prison.
But "all bets are off now", said a source. "Even though they're trying to keep it hush-hush, it is crystal clear that love
is
in the air between Calista and Robert -- and we couldn't be happier."
It was obvious from the above comments that Robert and Calista were an item.
Calista was hurt when she heard that Robert had been caught with drugs, he told her that it was a mixup, and she believed
him, so when it happened again
and he was asked to leave the show she was devistated, and collapsed on set.
They still talk, but haven't seen each other, because Calista wants to be sure he is clear of his addiction. She said in
a magazine that she had tried to help him but he was pulling her down "only he has the strength to cure himself".
Hopefully this time he is better and that this latest stay in rehab was his last. |
