The line between fiction and reality is getting a lot steamier for Kaia Gerber and Lewis Pullman. The couple, who have been capturing hearts with their low-key romance and high-profile red carpet moments, are officially taking their relationship to the big screen.
Fans are already buzzing on social media following the announcement that the -year-old model and actress will star alongside her boyfriend, -year-old Lewis Pullman, in the upcoming erotic thriller “Bulls”. If their real-life chemistry is any indication, audiences are in for a wild ride.
A Dangerous Game of Love
Directed by James Morosini, “Bulls” follows the story of Danny, played by Dylan O’Brien, who heads to a hedonistic island resort in a desperate attempt to reinvent himself. However, his “lonely escape” takes a sharp turn when he hooks up with Ava (Gerber), a mysterious married woman.
The plot thickens when Danny finds himself on a “collision course” with Ava’s alpha-male husband, Marco, played by none other than Pullman. The logline promises a “dangerous and intoxicating world of sex, power, and psychological games,” leaving fans wondering just how intense things will get between the real-life pair.
Gerber couldn’t hide her excitement about the project. Taking to her Instagram Stories, she reposted the casting news and added a row of eight “” emojis, perfectly capturing the internet’s collective reaction to the news.
Social Media Reacts to the Ultimate Casting
It didn’t take long for the “Bulls” announcement to trend on X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok. Fans of the couple are particularly thrilled to see the duo play a married couple, even if the “Bulls” marriage sounds a bit more complicated than their real-life status.
“Kaia and Lewis playing a married couple in an erotic thriller? This is literally the best casting of the year,” one fan wrote on X. Another added, “The chemistry is going to be off the charts. They didn’t even need to audition together!”
The news comes after the pair made headlines for their major PDA at the Venice Film Festival. During the premiere of “The Testament of Ann Lee”, the two were photographed unable to keep their hands off each other, cementing their status as one of Hollywood’s most watched couples.
A “Healing” Connection
While the movie sounds like a high-stakes drama, Gerber has described her actual relationship with Pullman as much more grounded. Speaking on the “Therapuss With Jake Shane” podcast in October , the “Palm Royale” star opened up about why this relationship feels different.
“A lot is being healed in this relationship,” she told Shane. “I really feel like if you have the opportunity to date a friend, do it, because it just is so much better.”
Gerber, who previously dated Austin Butler for three years, reportedly met Pullman through mutual friends. According to sources close to the couple, the model appreciates that the relationship is “low-pressure” and that Pullman is a “low-key guy.”
What is Next for the Duo?
“Bulls” marks the first time the couple will share the screen, and director James Morosini is confident it will be a hit. “I wrote Bulls because it’s the type of film I would cancel my plans to go see in cinemas,” he told Deadline. “It’s mischievous, twisty, turn-y, and most of all it’s sexy.”
As production gets underway, the internet will be watching closely for any behind-the-scenes glimpses of the couple on set. Whether they are walking a red carpet in Venice or playing a twisted married couple on screen, Kaia and Lewis are proving they are the duo to watch in .
