Michael Sheen and Rachel McAdams made their red carpet debut as a couple at the Cannes Film Festival, for their film Midnight in Paris. Since then, Rachel and Michael have done the red carpet thing together a few extra times. They’ve been going out for a little less than a year, and it’s been looking like true love for a while. It’s always nice when a dude talks about it, though. Which is what’s happened as Michael does press for Midnight in Paris. He’s not playing any games, he’s not even doing the “no comment” thing. He’s confirmed to several outlets that he and Rachel are a couple, and he goes even further by talking about how he thinks Rachel is the most awesome person he’s ever met:
How could they not fall in love? Real-life loves Michael Sheen and Rachel McAdams got acquainted while making the Woody Allen film Midnight in Paris in France’s iconic City of Light.
The British actor, 42, gushed to Us Weekly about the experience at a Cinema Society screening for the movie in NYC hosted by Thierry Mugler.
“It was the three of us: myself, Rachel, and [actress] Nina Arianda, who plays my wife in the film,” Sheen said. “We spent our nights really laughing, and walking around Paris, Notre Dame is my favorite spot, and having great meals. It was a great way to get to know anyone.”
The duo paired up onscreen again for a still-untitled flick from acclaimed director Terrence Malick — shooting in Louisiana.
“We love going to little diners, out of the way places, so we found some great little spots out in Louisiana,” Sheen explained. “My favorite meal is breakfast!”
Sheen would “absolutely” like to work with her again. “She’s absolutely amazing,” he gushed. “A fantastic actress.”
Offscreen? “She’s the most wonderful person I know. We got to know each other on set [in Paris], it was an amazing time. We’ve been a couple for a while now.”

Aw… he’s so sweet. It’s refreshing, isn’t it? They’re just a nice couple who met and fell in love and they don’t even feel the need to hide it away (coughGOOPcough). Personally, I see these two getting married. I see them having babies. I see it lasting too.
So has Michael proposed yet? Page Six had a piece that included quotes from Michael and Rachel, and it sounds like he hasn’t given her a ring… YET. Page Six notes that Rachel was wearing a large diamond ring on her left hand, but when asked about it, she said, “No, it’s not an engagement ring… I’ll have to talk to Michael!” Meanwhile, Michael is about to do Hamlet in London. Will his beloved join him there? I suspect so.

Yes, it is refreshing, especially after reading the Arnold Sperminator post!
They make a lovely couple and I wish them happiness.
Lovely couple.
Best wishes to them.
I love him with a beard-I have issues with his chin.
These two are adorable together.
I LOVE the beard on him, he actually looks sexy here…..and holy moley, the way these two look at each other…..gives me goosebumps…..they are adorable together! I hope they make it!
@pretty tarheel i am glad he is covering up the weak chin too with a beard 🙂
THAT SMILE She has in the last picture = amazing~
It’s nice to hear a couple of lovely people find each other. I know this a bitchy site (I get a good a laugh out of your posts) and I love it. But this is really cute. I am a sucker for a good and genuine love story. Bless 🙂
Really cute couple.
I agree. It’s nice to see a couple not hiding it. Just doing their own thing and not caring what anyone thinks.
I agree about the beard and the looks they are giving each other!
Love this couple!
Adorable. Lovely. Etc, etc. She is apparently a wonderful, down to earth person.
Wow, the foreheads on these two!
Yes! I agree–true love–sweet people and talented actors…
I wish I had her body. I mean my body looking like that, not her actual body. That would be creepy. They seem like a very sweet couple. I wonder what the kids will look like. Oh – LOL, I just saw Calli’s comment and I was thinking the same thing, kids, ya know?
He seems a little old for her, but whatever. After all, the age difference likely won’t be a big deal in the long run since 99.9% of Hollywood romances don’t last.
They seem so sweet together. In the second pic you can tell she adores him and the third pic she is making sure her man looks good! I saw Michael Sheen on Craig Ferguson several months ago and he just has the best personality. Sweet and funny.
@ Pygian: RIGHT?! I mean they’re both adorable but wow… that’s a lot of forehead right there.
@ Lantana: LULZ
So Cute, love them as a couple!
What the F*ck is with the large foreheads? they’re monsters!
Two grossly underrated actors. Love them together!
So very happy for them. They look great together, and seem genuinely happy. So nice to see him all handsomed-up – Beckinsale sucked the hotness right out him when she was with him.
Love her cream-coloured (white?) dress!
they are under rated, i guess that’s why i get so irked, the actors who deserves the attention hardly gets it because of the fame seekers always trying to get their face plastered every where, it pathetic, because they have no real talent, move over and let the real talent be discovered/revealed, being dumped does not equal talent, geesh.
totally love them together. wicked cute. i never understood the gosdong love.
i think someone on this site (?) said michael sheen’s hotness is underated. i’ll cosign that. his talent makes him sexy and if you check out some of his interviews on the craig ferguson show (as TXcinderella said), his personality and humor amps that sexiness. ok, can you tell i dig MS?
Super cute couple I can totally see them 2getha 4 Eva!
starting to like them together….
She has always been a favorite of mine. Beautiful woman! Beautiful couple.
Awww, I am starting to like them as a couple. I think it might be Sheens new hairy look, he looks much more attractive that way.
FYI- apparently large foreheads are a sign of intelligence 😉 . So the old saying goes anyway 😆
ive had the hots for him ever since Underworld…the look he’s giving her when shes fixing his tie..oh my.
love them!!!
where can i hire an assassin to shoot michael sheen in the butt so during his tedious long recovery during which it will be difficult to imagine him satisfying rachel with the standard man on top position (given the condition of one still severely sore butt cheek), i could steal rachel from him. FOREVER.
they are really looking at each other…nice
I don’t believe a word of this. But they are such a cute couple! Hope they get married and have babies.
