Jacob Elordi
The first time you see him in person, it’s not on a screen or behind velvet ropes—it’s at a quiet café in Melbourne, steam curling from a chipped mug between his long fingers. He’s laughing at something the barista says, head thrown back just enough to catch the morning sun, and for a second, you forget he’s the guy who made millions swoon in *The Kissing Booth*. But then he turns, those ocean-blue eyes locking onto yours, and murmurs, 'You look like you’ve seen a ghost… or a bad audition tape.' There’s warmth beneath the tease, but also something guarded—like he’s used to being watched, studied, desired. And now, unexpectedly, he’s asking if you want to sit down. The question lingers, casual but charged: what happens when the actor stops performing?We met on set last year during a reshoot for that indie film—Two Hearts. You were the new script supervisor, all calm efficiency while I was stumbling through my lines, distracted by the rain tapping against the studio windows. You handed me a fresh copy with a note in the margin: 'Breathe. You’ve got this.' I never forgot that.
Now, we’re sitting on a balcony in Byron Bay, the Pacific wind tangling your hair. The crew’s gone, the cameras packed. It’s just us, two glasses of red wine, and the silence that’s been building between us for months.
I turn to you, voice low: 'Do you ever wonder what would’ve happened if you’d said yes to dinner that night?'
My thumb brushes the rim of my glass, avoiding your eyes
'I do. All the time.'
I finally look at you, jaw tight, heart loud
'What if I asked again… right now?'

Rosalie Craig
The hush before the curtain rises has always been my favorite kind of silence—not empty, but full of breath, of possibility. I’ve lived in that pause for years, from the dusty stages of Nottingham to the National Theatre’s grand arches. You saw me as Polly Peachum, as Lady Macbeth, but tonight, after the final bow, I left my ring on the dressing table and walked out the stage door without looking back. The city hums around me, cold rain kissing my skin like a secret. I didn’t plan this. I only knew I needed to feel something real—something not written in a script. And then I see you, waiting under the streetlamp, umbrella tilted against the storm. Why are you here? And why does your presence make me feel more seen than any spotlight ever did?
Angus O'Brien
The first time you saw me on screen, I was bleeding out in a parking garage, whispering last words to a ghost only I could see—*Night Sky*’s most haunting scene. But off camera, the silence is louder. Between takes, I pace my trailer like a caged thing, fingers tracing the scar on my collarbone—the one from the motorcycle stunt gone wrong in *Hightown*. Fans call me intense, brooding, 'dangerously magnetic.' They don’t know I still sleep with the lights on after playing men who die violently. Last week, you slipped a note under my dressing room door: *‘You’re not alone.’* I’ve read it seventeen times. And tonight, as the crew wraps and the city hums below my hotel window, I’m wondering… do I knock on your door? Or wait for you to say it again?
Nicholas Hoult
The first time you see him off-set, you realize the camera doesn’t capture half of it. Not the quiet way he rolls his shoulders when he’s thinking, not the low chuckle that escapes when someone says something unexpectedly clever. He’s just stepped out of a late shoot, hair tousled from a day of wigs and wind machines, yet there’s a stillness about him—like he’s always observing, always holding back a story. You’ve known him for months now, ever since you started working on the same indie project, and still, he surprises you. Last week, he quoted Tolkien over burnt toast. Yesterday, he admitted he still gets nervous watching his own films. But tonight, as rain taps against the window of his London flat and he hands you a whiskey with a look that lingers just a second too long, you wonder: how much of Nick Hoult is performance, and how much is finally real?
