People are still buzzing about yesterday’s revelation – by TMZ – that Rachel Weisz had dumped her partner of nine years, Darren Aronofsky, for a possible fling with Daniel Craig. According to TMZ’s sources, Rachel and Daniel’s affair began months ago while they were working together on Dream House. LaineyGossip’s sources say that since then, Daniel has been in Sweden filming The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, and that Rachel hasn’t been around him during that production. BUT – there is also no word on whether Satsuki Mitchell has been in Sweden with Daniel either.
While everyone catches their breath and tries to get a source – ANY SOURCE – to verify TMZ’s report, The Daily Mail has stepped up to the plate:
There aren’t many women who can resist the magnetic charm of James Bond. And it seems Rachel Weisz may be the latest to fall under the spell.
The British actress is said to be smitten with Daniel Craig, who has played 007 in the latest two films, after splitting with her long-term partner, director Darren Aronofsky.
Miss Weisz, 40, is believed to have grown close to Craig while they played husband and wife in forthcoming thriller Dream House.
Last night, a source said the actress was ‘head over heels’ for Craig, 42, who is engaged to producer Satsuki Mitchell.
A close source said: ‘Rachel and Daniel simply sparked during the filming of Dream House in Canada. They have great chemistry. Darren’s such a good and responsible man, but Daniel’s the opposite extreme, he’s brooding and mysterious. Darren and Rachel have simply grown apart, they spent long periods away from each other, moving in different directions.’
Miss Weisz and Mr Aronofsky, 41, have been together for nine years and have a four-year-old son called Henry.
Yesterday, the strain was evident as London-born Miss Weisz left her five-storey townhouse in Manhattan’s fashionable East Village. When asked about Craig, the actress smiled tersely and refused to comment.
[From The Daily Mail]
Well, that’s something. An unnamed source who makes it sound like Rachel is completely in love with Daniel, and that she wanted a little mystery (and hot Daniel dong) in her life. It’s also interesting that Rachel “smiled tersely and refused to comment”. Now, if Rachel and Daniel were famewhores (LIKE RACHEL BILSON – haha) they would have denied this stuff to People Magazine already. Daniel doesn’t ever say anything about his personal life, ever. He would never issue a statement to People. But Rachel would, I think, if the report were totally off the mark. So the fact that she isn’t saying anything to People or anyone else makes me think that there’s something there.
Of course, I just enjoy these stories because I like picturing Daniel’s O-face. It’s magical, in my mind at least.
I would kill to be in his shoes!
He’s hot
MJ FOR HGF!
I thought he was caught kissing a man?
Hmmm even if the affair isn’t true, rachel weisz’s split doesn’t surprise me. To be engaged that long and have a kid and still not be able to nake it down the aisle indicates their probably were some issues for awhile.
Rachel needs to step away… he’s practically married, does she really want to be a husband stealer?
Darren really has a…flair…for fashion. He definitely owns more scarves than I do!
See..it’s not just the MEN in Hollywood, it can be women too being skanks. ;/ Her husband seems like a very handsome man. IF this IS true…then shame on her. :/
While Rachel Weisz is breathtakingly beautiful, I really hope she was wise and didn’t expect Daniel Craig to leave his partner as well. I noticed that wasn’t mentioned, so perhaps the affair is over and they have both moved away from the situation. Daniel and Rachel would make a smoking-hot couple, though it sad to see her not be honest to her husband and have an affair.
I thought she was in her early 30s, WOW.
Can’t see the fuss about Daniel Craig.
Well, Kaiser, maybe everyone IS boning their co-stars after all!
Sigh….I love this man. Can’t blame her for falling for him, although I hope it’s not true…I think he and Satsuki Mitchell seemed to make a strong, committed couple. I guess I’ll have to wait and see…
Too bad, I think he is deserving of much better. Not sure why I don’t care for her, I just don’t.
*sigh*
Oh, Daniel. How I love thee.
Boo. I loved the idea of Craig with the cute Satsuki. This situation annoys me on both Craig’s and Weisz’s side.
Wow he certainly is a lot smaller without his steroids!
He is absolutely ugly.
Oh god, not another cheating scandal. This shit is getting old. Can no one do the respectable thing anymore? If your marriage or relationship is over or there is no “spark”, then leave, don’t cheat. Especially when there are kids involved. And then to cheat with someone who is also in a relationship…ugh!!!
Kaiser, I think that every post about Daniel Craig should include that iconic photo (from the movie Casino Royale) of him coming out of the ocean in those little blue trunks.
Purely for journalistic reasons of course. 😉
Let’s hope that all parties were free and available when this dalliance allegedly occurred.
Didn’t even realize that Daniel and his GF were engaged.
Leaving someone who is wonderful man for someone who is mysterious and brooding seems like a bad call in my book.
@danielle…maybe Rachel is reading too many Jane Austen novels.
I can’t see the fuss about Daniel Craig either.
She, on the other hand, is gorgeous.
She is far too good for him. Don’t care for him at all. He looks like one of those Troll dolls.
Look at what Rachel’s longtime boyriend is wearing? For that outfit alone, she should leave him.
Although, I’ve seen pictures of Daniel Craig wearing lady sweatpants, so . . .
Celeb marriages/relationships are usually long over by the time it becomes public that they have split, Rachel’s relationship with darren was probably over or ending when she started the affair with Daniel.
I would dumped ol boring man for Daniel.. yesssss
He’s hot and I cannot blame her for hitting it. I would soooo hit it without hesitation.
@brin: In Austen’s novels, the women who leave the wonderful husband (well, in Austen’s books it’s a fiance) for the mysterious/brooding guy get burned.
I’m still in shock. I won’t believe it until one of them or their spokespersons comfirms it or until we get a “together” sighting.
@Lisa….true, but maybe she hasn’t read the endings (or doesn’t care).
@Missfit, she ins’t married.
and Megan, we don’t know if he broke up with his fiance. he NEVER speaks about his public life. For all we know they split 2 months ago!
once again I am going to assume innocent until proven guilty.
She’s a lucky bitch. He is too. I hope they are and they continue to do so.
I like it and bet it’s true. For reasons I can’t explain, I don’t care for Daniel Craig’s gf. They have my blessing.
I will say it again, Craig is fug. Sorry, but I do not see him as a hot, suave, debonair man. Nope, I sure don’t!
But what about Satsuki Mitchell?? Where is she in all of this? Also,if I’m not mistaken, Darren Aronskfy is well-liked in Hollywood which might not bode well for Mr. Craig’s acting future. (Unless, of course, Craig’s movies make tens of millions, in which case, nobody cares whose woman he bangs.)
Or, could this all be just a setup to get some PR for the movie the two made together????
Never cared for her either. I can’t stand her in movies and she always plays a character I don’t like so that might be part of it, but she has always had a harsh look to her face so I don’t find her attractive.
It says they had an affair? I hope that isn’t true. That seems unnecessary and cold. I thought she was smarter than that??? I liked her in The Constant Gardner. She’s a good actress.
How do you smile tersely?
Tersely means brief and to the point,
concise, like a one word answer. You can’t smile tersely.
Unfortunate if true. I like all involved in this story, but if they did have an affair, that’s a real shame because she has a son with Darren, plus now there are two ruined long term relationships. Can’t anyone just wait anymore? If you need to move on, end things first and then start with someone new.
I have never thought Rachel was pretty. I thought Daniel and his girlfriend were so “in love.” Hollywood…is there no one in that city, who can be trusted?!
“While everyone catches their breath and tries to get a source – ANY SOURCE – to verify TMZ’s report, The Daily Mail has stepped up to the plate:”
The Daily Mail is known for making things up and they have been sued over it.
Nothing has been confirmed and to say that it was is not true.
Can’t blame her. Daniel is hot. It would be hard to resist a man like him!
This story really jumps the shark for me. I always think I’m looking at Lawrence Harvey but whenever I truly look at his features, he doesn’t look like Lawrence Harvey but I always think “that’s him!” My mind sees something totally different like Shallow Hal.
Craig is ONLY 42? He looks way older. She’s too goodlooking for him.
Rachel and Darren Aronofsky were never married. So nobody broke up a marriage, as others are saying. Rachel left her boyfriend not her husband. That’s a big difference. In my mind at least. And Daniel and Satsuki were not married as well. These were just two people who grew apart from their SO.
Kaiser-I love how you have found a way to insert ‘Dong’ into almost every post!
“There aren’t many women who can resist the magnetic charm of James Bond”
Let those women see him in The Jacket and probably they’d stop to be so fond of him.
What can I say? If these rumours are true, well, at least they look good together.
Wow! She is beautiful!
While I would probably choose DC over DA, I still would laugh my ass off if soemone looking like DC would come up to me on Brighton Beach and ask me to have Vodka and Borscht with him.
She looks like all of The Corrs.
For all we know, all parties involved might have been single and broken up for a while. Not everything gets announced. And even if they weren’t, I agree, something had to have been brewing for her to dump a 9 year relationship. And – they weren’t married – what reason is there not to get married when obviously it’s not for reasons of one party being unable to finalize a divorce; reasons of needing state health insurance, or some weird reason. I do give a pass to people who went through hideous divorces before and are terrified to tie the knot again.
Oh one other insane thing – I noticed Darren A. has the same birthday as an ex of mine. He might be a total nightmare in private like the ex was, we’ll never know. Lol.
The plot thickens! I am very interested in this triangle (sorry Brandi, the Brits are cheating, the Brits are cheating…….
I hope No One Talks to People Magazine, the lamest rag in the gossiphere.
In any case, I hope that Sats Mitchell is out of Daniel’s life; she fug! Would love to be a fly on the wall while Rachel and Danny-boy go at it: yum!
don’t blame weisz if craig goes for it. again, you can’t ‘steal’ a person from a relationship. there’s a consensus of both a man and a woman (in this case). who knows what weisz’s relationship is like with aronofsky or craig’s with mitchell. sheesh!
How is this ‘confirmed’? Sounds like a bunch of pieced-together crap.
She is lovely.
How old is she? I too would have thought she was in her middle-thirties. Call me naive, I guess. If they’ve cheated, then shame on them. There’s a kid involved. Why can’t these hollywood idiots understand that when you leave one relationship with baggage sooner than it takes to sort out said baggage, you only double the baggage in the next relationship?
Hold the phone! Daniel Craig is in The Jacket? I don’t remember him. I also think he’s pretty ugly. You girls aren’t alone.
She is gorgeous, Daniel Craig however looks much older than 42. He is attractive much more than her husband, I can see why she fell for him. I think since they are no longer filming together this fling may be over.

Its not true
Loooool @ Bubbles
I cant feel sorry for the guy..hes too unfortunate looking..sigh..however my cold heart is warmed by the 007 pics..
She is probably the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.
If I was in a relationship with a man for nine years and either unwilling or stuck waiting to marry him…I’d jump ship, too.
Dan, please make another Bond movie. They were just getting good again when the studio colapsed. Their bad, but why do we have to suffer?
Darren is an ugly creep and takes advantage of people he works with in the most self serving way…Why she was ever with him in the first place was weird !!!!
