Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp were a couple?

The acting duo shared the screen in 2010 in the film The Tourist, a story where two strangers cross paths and fall in love, but what happened between the actors?

Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp are two of the most recognized actors in Hollywood. Both have starred in a large number of titles and have one of the most enviable careers in the industry. Although they have made headlines for a variety of reasons throughout their lives, they are well known for keeping a relatively private profile.

That does not mean that both Depp and Jolie generate a certain fascination. Especially the time they had to share the screen. In 2010, the acting duo starred in The Tourist, the film directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck.

This film is a remake of the French film The Secret of Anthony Zimmer. In the 2010 version, Depp plays Frank, an American tourist who travels to Italy to try to recover from a failed love affair. There he meets Elise (Jolie), a woman who crosses his path quite by chance. With Venice as a backdrop, Frank is seduced by Elise, but soon the two are caught up in a whirlwind of intrigue and danger.

Depp and Jolie's feature film was not a huge success. However, the chemistry between the two was undeniable. With a magnetism that at times seemed to cross the screen. From there, many wondered if there was something more between the actor and the actress than just a working relationship. Since even off camera they seemed to get along more than well.

Rumors always existed

Whether there was a romantic relationship between Depp and Jolie is not entirely clear. At the time of promoting the film, back in 2010, the actress mentioned that it was a dream for her to finally be able to share the screen with Depp.

“I thought it was the coolest thing for years. I practically grew up with him and was so in love with him in Edward Scissorhands!" Angelina once said of her co-star. For his part, Depp described Jolie as an "enchantress" and a "walking poem.".

At the time that Depp and Jolie filmed the movie The Tourist, both were in a relationship. Johnny Depp was still married to the French model and actress Vanessa Paradis, the mother of his two children, from whom he divorced in June 2012, after fourteen years of relationship. 

For her part, Jolie was in a relationship with Brad Pitt, with whom she had started a relationship in 2005, after sharing the screen in Mr. and Mrs. Smith. In 2012, Angie and Brad got engaged and married in 2014. After two years of relationship, the interpreter filed for divorce.

The truth is that a few years later when Depp divorced Amber Heard in 2016, some of the past relationships that the actors had had with other people came to light. Among them, the name Angelina Jolie arose as one of the alleged relationships that Depp had maintained.

If there was more than a mere friendship between Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie, it will never be known for sure. What was always clear is that they both had a special connection and they never denied it.
