These 5 celebrities are obsessed with the idea of old-fashioned romance. From candle-lit dinners to strolls in the moonlight, these stars melt at the idea of anything romantic and believe that true love can happen at any time. One star doesn’t like to play by the rules because she gets in so deep so quickly, while another realizes that being a hopeless romantic can lead to disappointment but she still likes to believe that fairy-tales coming true anyway. These 5 stars are in love with the idea of being truly loved-up!
Carey Mulligan
Carey never played by the “rules” because she was always so loved-up: “I like love stories, and acting in love stories, so I suppose that’s the romantic side of me but I am quite practical. My friends at school used to say, ‘If a guy texts, you can’t text back for three days.’ I was always like, ‘B******s! Text back.’ I’m a practical romantic. I’m a hopeless romantic and I always say how I feel. I say things as I think them.
Renee Zellweger
Renee is so into raw romance that she can’t live any other way: “I’m a sucker every time. I’m a hopeless romantic. I’ve tried the other way for about five minutes. It doesn’t work for me. I was thinking, ‘I’m gonna focus on my work.’ And you start daydreaming. I just need the guy!”
Madonna
Madonna wants to believe in fairytale romance, but part of her knows it doesn’t exist: “If you’re a romantic like me, and every girl I know is, every girl wants to be swept off her feet by a knight in shining armour. Unfortunately we’re raised on those fairy tales. Even if we are sophisticated, educated, intelligent, evolved human beings, we like to think in the back of our minds that Mr Right is going to sweep us off our feet and take us into the sunset, and we’re going to live happily ever after. But we keep getting disappointed. If you have even half a brain you know that doesn’t exist.”
Eric Bana
Eric was always obsessed with girls and romancing them: “I was always getting crushes on girls – to be honest I was a hopeless romantic. I never went through a pure car stage. For me, girls were never off the table. I liked girls with a sense of fun. I was never into the more serious ones.”
Emma Watson
Emma likes the idea of old fashioned romance: “I’ve always been a hopeless romantic. I think, ‘Why not?’ It’s nice. I think there’s a perception that perhaps my generation doesn’t believe in romance so much. I would be tempted to disagree and say we do believe in romance, seduction and gallantry, but that courtship and the game is played in a different way.”
