WELL, this weekend, the first two episodes of the highly-anticipated drama premiered at the Venice Film Festival, and the costars hit the red carpet together to support their show…then proceeded to cause an internet implosion with their off-the-charts red carpet chemistry.*

*A new romance sub-genre?!
Specifically, there’s one short, slow motion video that has caught Twitter‘s attention, which involves Oscar gazing lovingly at Jessica before intimately kissing her inner arm. As of right now, it’s been viewed over seven million times:

Is it possible to win an Academy Award for “Best Red Carpet Performance” because, if so, just give it to them:

Now, it should be noted that these two stars are, in fact, married â and not to each other* â but this sort of stuff just goes to show how important off-screen chemistry is for on-screen chemistry! It’s palpable!

*Oscar is married to Danish screenwriter and director, Elvira Lind, while Jessica is married to fashion executive Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo.
ANYWAY, the internet handled this whole thing by remaining calm, cool, and collected…JK, they lost their damn minds:

While others opted to point out parallels to another former red hot promotional red carpet non-couple:

So, uh, yeah! There ya go! Find someone who looks at you the same way Oscar Isaac looks at Jessica Chastain’s arm on the red carpet of the 2021 Venice Film Festival, and don’t settle for less!
