Actors and models live almost in the same world, glitzy and glamorous. Oftentimes, these people share the same circle of friends and quite possibly meet in special occasions and events. Sometimes these actors and models also get a chance to work with each other in an advertisement or even in an acting project. So, it's very likely that some of them develop attraction for each other.
For example, former couple Heart Evangelista and Daniel Matsunaga, who became a couple for more than a year. In a previous interview with PEP.ph, the Brazilian-Japanese model-actor admitted that his attraction to the local fashion icon started when they worked together in GMA Network's defunct TV series titled 'Langit Sa Piling' Mo in 2010.
He became closer to Heart then because she was helping him memorize his Tagalog lines.
"Then, things were going well, then, start to hang [out] with the same people, you know. We have this group called Tomato Group. Tuesdays, we meet them. So everybody's always together, then we start dating."
Unfortunately, their relationship ended in 2012. Now, Heart is married to Senator Francis "Chiz" Escudero while Daniel is in a relationship with fellow Brazilian model named Julia Nunes. Despite what happened to their relationship, the former couple remained good friends.
Meanwhile, here are other celebrities and models who get attracted to each other.
