Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig: Secret Romance

Rachel Weisz said she wanted to be a Bond girl, and looks like her dream has come true - with the actress enjoying a romantic winter getaway with hunk Daniel Craig over the Christmas break.

The couple were spotted walking hand in hand near their $1500-a-week cottage in Somerset, just months after denying they were an item. Taking in the snow-covered British countryside during a long walk, the sparks between them were unmistakable as they later snuggled together in front of the fire at a local pub.

'They were clinging to each other like honeymooners,' says one onlooker. 'The chemistry was obvious.'

Rachel, 40, and Craig, 42, have been friends for years but became close on the set of their new thriler Dream House, where they played husband and wife. They brushed off talk of on-set chemistry, but speculation only increased when Rachel announced her split from her partner of nine years, American director Darren Aronofsky, in November.
