Love can blossom anywhere is an age-old adage but finding love is hard in today's time especially when one is occupied with work and barely has time for a personal life. Being an actor may look like a glamorous profession but it still requires an arduous amount of work and a countless number of hours are spent perfecting a shot.
All this leads to actors spending more time on set as compared to anywhere else which often results into a friendship between the actor and the director which often blossoms into love. Many beautiful and famous actresses in the film industry found their perspective partners this way.
#1. Helena Bonham Carter & Tim Burton
They might not be together anymore but this real life Adams Family was certainly our favorite eccentric couple ever. We never wanted to miss this popular ex-couple, despite them not being married formally. Tim Burton is known for making movies that can best be described as unusual and the quirky Helena caught the directors fancy early on in 2001 when he cast her for a role in Planet of The Apes. She has been a regular in his movies since then and featured in 9 of his installments. The couple were together for 13 years and have two sons together. The couple who were often referred to as Mr. and Mrs. Mad Hatter had never married.

#2. Kate Beckinsale & Len Wiseman
The beautiful actress met her then-future husband on the sets of Underworld in 2003, where she ended her long-term relationship with Michael Sheen. She tried to convince director Len Wiseman to cast her boyfriend Sheen in his movie but in a strange twist ended up falling in love with the director himself. Wiseman too left his wife to embark on a relationship with Kate but unfortunately, the couple called it quits in 2016.

#3. Milla Jovovich & Paul W.S. Anderson
It was mere fate at play that brought this stunner and actress of Resident Evil close to her director Paul W.S. Anderson who later became her husband. The director was unsure of the role given to Milla which was a high action packed one and felt the then IT girl Michelle Rodriguez was better suited for it. On receiving the new script Milla had a long discussion with Paul W.S. Anderson which not only resulted in a different script but also a rock-solid marriage. The couple has two kids.

He met Kate Capshaw on the sets of one of such highly acclaimed movie Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. He had to wait till 1991 to put a ring on the vivacious beauty as he was already married to actress Amy Irving. The couple has seven kids out of which 3 are biological and 2 adopted.

#5. Taylor Hackford & Helen Mirren
One of the most talented actresses in the industry found love in her movie director Taylor Hackford and tied the knot with him in 1997. The director of The Devil's Advocate and Helen have an unusual but happy marriage life that is devoid of cheesy romance. The couple who have been together since 1986 abhors the idea of commercialized romance to pollute their relationship and never celebrate Valentine's Day or go out for date nights. The actress in her own words describes it as an unsentimental marriage. They have been married for 20 years now.

These love stories prove that movie sets not just provide a perfect setting for on-screen romance but have also are an ideal place for many off-screen love stories that happened between the directors of the movie and their muse.
