9 Things You Didn’t Know About Paul Walker That Will Restore Your Faith In Hollywood

By now everyone has heard of the recent tragedy involving Paul Walker and his close friend Roger Rodas. The two were involved in a car explosion after leaving a charity event they created together over this past weekend.

After someone passes away, it’s customary for people to share their experiences with that person. Ever since Walker’s passing, numerous people have come forward to share their stories and kind words.

So today, in honor of this incredible individual, we are going to take a look at what others had to say about his life. We are also going to look at some of the most famous statements Walker has ever given. This will help us to gain insight into the young actor’s mind and what truly made him stand apart from the rest.

He Was Charitable

Paul Walker and Roger Rodas set up a charity together called “Reach Out Worldwide” to help people harmed by natural disasters. In 2010, they both flew to Chile with their charity to assist those injured in the 8.8 magnitude earthquake. During the same year, Paul was extremely involved in relief efforts to help survivors of the tragic 2010 earthquake in Haiti.

He Was A Family Man

“I think my mom put it best. She said, ‘Little girls soften their daddy’s hearts.’” Walker is survived by his 15-year-old daughterMeadow Rain. She recently moved from Hawaii to California to be closer to her father so they could work on their relationship.

In an interview with GQ, Walker revealed: “She keeps encouraging me to do all this stuff. I thought at this point in my life I would need to be home with her, but she wants me to keep acting so she can travel around the world with me. Would that be so bad?”

He Was Career Driven

“There’s a lot of guys that just get comfortable with their positions and rest on their laurels. I had to earn my way.” Literally, he was career driven. Walker loved every aspect of being part of “The Fast And Furious” saga and has even gone so far as to say, “I wish I could be behind the wheel for every stunt.” He didn’t come from money, but instead worked as hard as possible to earn himself a name.

He Did Not Let Fame Define Him

“I’m not the least bit polished, I come from a blue collar background and I never thought I could feel comfortable around the English.” Not all celebrities have the ability to remain level headed when fame is thrust upon them. Paul Walker’s co-stars and the industry people who worked with him have all come forward to vouch for how amazing of a guy he was.

He Anonymously Bought A Couple An Engagement Ring

Walker was in a jewelry store when he overheard a couple discussing an engagement ring. The woman absolutely loved the $10K ring, but her fiancé, who had just returned from Iraq, told her he could not afford it. The couple left the store with no ring in hand, but received a call shortly after from an employee. They were told someone anonymously purchased their dream ring.

He Had A “Go Big Or Go Home” Mentality

“I live by ‘Go big or go home.’ That’s with everything. It’s like either commit and go for it or don’t do it at all. I apply that to everything. I apply that to relationships, I apply that to like sports, I apply that to everything. That’s what I live by. That’s how I like it.” He worked hard for what he achieved and he never took anything for granted. He stayed humble and appreciated his good fortune because he was the one who created it for himself.

He Was Multifaceted

“I’m into being a dad, that’s where my focus is most of the time. I’m an actor that’s my job, but it’s not my life. I have a lot of other interests too.” Many people are unaware that Walker was picked to play Superman for Warner Brothers and he turned down the role. He did not want that to be his entire life. He wanted to pursue everything life had to offer. Acting was just a job for him, it wasn’t who he was. He was a family man and a surfer; he was not a fame-obsessed Hollywood star.

He Wasn’t Afraid Of Anything

“I’m not afraid of anything. That’s just the way I am.” Nothing scared this guy, he understood life was about taking risks because that’s where the greatest rewards are achieved.

He Kept His Life Private

Unlike many Hollywood actors and actresses, Paul Walker’s name was never making headlines for anything out of the norm. He was all business when he needed to be and a family man off the screen. He didn’t publicize his relationships and many people didn’t even know he had a daughter until the news of his death was announced. He wasn’t an attention seeker, he was just a straight up hardworking man who wanted to make the most out of his life.

R.I.P. Paul Walker, you will be missed.

Is Tom Cruise Dating Laura Prepon? Not So Fast, Says His Rep

Larry Busacca/Neilson Barnard/Getty Images

If you ask the tabloids, Tom Cruise has found love again—this time with Laura Prepon.

A report that surfaced in British magazine Grazia (via The Independent) claims the 51-year-old Hollywood hunk was on "cloud nine" after going on a date recently with the 33-year-old Orange is the New Black star in L.A. 

The story quoted a source saying Cruise—who became friends with Prepon through Scientology as she's also a devout follower—took the actress out for a posh dinner at The Renaissance at The Manor Hotel. Not only that, but the former Days of Thunder star purportedly picked up the actress in a classic car and surprised her with a vintage 1979 bottle of merlot.

The insider alleged that the evening went so well, the duo returned to the restaurant for a second date over Sunday brunch, and then she accompanied him to a party at fellow Scientologist JohnTravolta's home a few days later. 

However don't get your couch-jumping hopes up just yet. 

When contacted by E! News, Cruise's rep smacked down rumors of a romance, saying the report is "false." 

It's been a little more than 15 months since the actor's divorce from his third wife, Katie Holmes, became final, putting an end to their five-year marriage. 

Since then, he's concentrated on work, starring in last December's thriller, Jack Reacher, and the summer sci-fi blockbuster Oblivion.

As for Prepon, who shot to fame playing Donna Pinciotti in Fox's hit sitcom That '70s Show, she's previously been linked to actor Chris Masterson.

Liam Hemsworth "Much Happier" After Miley Cyrus Breakup: "I'm More Centered and Grounded"

Jamie McCarthy/FilmMagic

Liam Hemsworth lucked out during his worldwide press tour for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Until now, the Australian actor had only been asked about his breakup with Miley Cyrus once. Like a true gentleman, he offered a diplomatic response and wished her well. In a recent interview published by People, however, the movie star decided to shed new insight into his life as a single man.

"These days I feel like I'm more centered and grounded than I've ever been," said Hemsworth, who had a fling with Mexican actress Eiza González in September.

When he moved to L.A. in 2008, Hemsworth was somewhat intimidated by the business. Since then, he's become more confident with where he stands in Hollywood. "I've learned so much," he explained. "The first few years in L.A. were really tough and scary, but I had to figure things out for myself."

As his profile continued to rise, so did the interest in his relationship with Cyrus. Following a rocky two-year courtship, the Last Song costars got engaged in May 2012. They called it quits 16 months later.

"What I always keep in mind is that I know what the truth is and that's all that matters," Hemsworth said when asked about their fall breakup. "I know I'm a good person."

He credited his costar Jennifer Lawrence with keeping him grounded. "For a few years I went down a path where I forgot to be in the moment and enjoy the moment. But being around someone like Jen, who is so honest and laughs all day long, I am forced to be in the right now. I'm much happier."

Hemsworth also finds solace in solitude. "I read a lot of Zen books," the hunky star said. "And I grew up surfing, so that has always been my escape."

Nicki Minaj Wears Nipple Pasties, Fishnet Tights and a Thong for Halloween

Instagram

Nicki Minaj knows how to get people talking. The rapper shared a series of sexy selfies via Instagram on Thursday, Oct. 31, where she showed off her famous curves in fishnet tights and a leather thong. The "High School" rapper exposed both breasts but covered her nipples with cross-shaped pasties.

"Officer Minaj," the 30-year-old musician captioned in one shot. "Who wants to get cuffed?"

The former American Idol judge snapped the pictures using her iPhone. Notably, the device was protected by a custom case that featured the rapper's image from her 2010 album, Pink Friday.

Instagram

Minaj hit up the "Hot97 extravaganza" at Katra Lounge in New York City, where she hung out with radio host Angie Martinez. According to one caption, Minaj was "drunk as f--k."

Instagram

The blonde star (real name: Onika Tanya Maraj) knew her costume was going to cause a stir. "Don't get ya panties in a bunch," she wrote in one Instagram caption.

Earlier that afternoon, Ellen DeGeneres poked fun at Minaj's boob-baring style on her eponymous daytime talk show. "This year I decided to go as something really scary—half naked. Of course I'm Nicki Minaj," the hilarious host told the audience. "Nicki was on the show a few weeks ago. Her shirt was not. She took my show from a PG rating to a Double D."

Instagram

"I've got the whole look down. I even have the same shoes on. I think I do. I can't see my feet, but I assume I do," DeGeneres continued. "I don't normally wear things that are this sexy. But when you're dressed as Nicky Minaj, I guess you have to. So here are my boom booms and back here is my ‘Super Bass.'"

DeGeneres then pointed to her prosthetic breasts and quipped, "In case you're wondering, these are real. This is real. It's all real!"

Kristen Stewart Spends Time With Robert Pattinson at His House: All the Details & New Photos

FAMEFLYNET PICTURES

Whether or not they're rekindling a romance, but Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are spending time together behind closed doors.

E! News exclusively learned that Kristen and Rob spent four hours yesterday at the house he's been renting in a gated community in Beverly Hills, after which they tried to take the show on the road. 

Rob, behind the wheel of his silver Jeep, was seen trailing Kristen's blue Toyota pickup truck out of his neighborhood, the actress giving the occasional glance in the rearview mirror.

But whatever their plan was, they seemed to have a change of heart once they noticed that they had picked up a paparazzi shadow.

FAMEFLYNET PICTURES

Rob turned his SUV around and headed back toward his house, leaving Kristen to give the photographer a piece of her mind without saying a word.

To be continued.

That's OK, we've seen the On the Road star flip off the paparazzi before. Who can blame her?

FAMEFLYNET PICTURES

As for those close to the former onscreen and real-life couple, who dated for about three years before breaking up in May, a source exclusively told E! News today that Rob's friends are completely surprised that the exes are in touch.

The Cosmopolis star is incredibly focused on his career at the moment, he's been working out hard to get himself into top condition (we've noticed!) and he doesn't want distractions, according to the source.

But that does jive with what we're hearing from another insider, which is that Rob is once again comfortable with Kristen but isn't looking for love—with her or anyone else at the moment! 

"Rob is single. He doesn't want to date anybody right now," that source told us. "Not Kristen, not anyone. He is really enjoying his life. I honestly believe they will not get back together. There is always a small chance something happens, but I highly doubt it."

As for the pair familiarly known as Robsten, "there was lots of animosity after the split, but as time moved on they moved on and they gradually got over it. They are cordial now."

Aside from these accidental sightings, the source believes that we won't be seeing Rob and Kristen out in public together anytime soon.

But, the insider added, since they share so many pals, their rekindled friendship should make run-ins at parties and elsewhere less awkward.

Kristen, whose next film is the Guantanmo Bay-set drama Camp X-Ray, was in Europe for much of the summer, traveling and shooting the drama Sils Maria. 

Rob got to stay close to home to shoot director David Cronenberg's latest, the Hollywood satire Maps to the Stars.

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson Reunite! Inside Their Secret Meet-Up—and See the Pic!

FAMEFLYNET PICTURES

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are most certainly back in contact.

While the famous exes have not spent any time together in public since ending their three-year relationship back in May, E! News has exclusively learned that they spent time together in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

A source told us last week that a tabloid story claiming that the Twilight costars were hooking up whenever they both happened to be in town was "not true," though yesterday wasn't the first time that they've happened to be in the same place at the same time.They were spotted leaving their meet-up spot in their respective vehicles, Rob in his Jeep following Kristen in her blue Toyota pickup truck. And their reunion may have continued until they got wind of the paparazzi on their trail—an apparent change of plans that K.Stew looked none too happy about. (For the full story, tune into E! News tonight at 7 p.m. & 11:30 p.m.)

Rob, who moved his stuff out of Kristen's Los Feliz house just a couple of days after their split, was seen visiting the place in August. He recently put the Los Feliz home that they once shared—before she moved nearby post-cheating scandal—on the market for $6.7 million and moved into a rental in Beverly Hills.

Kristen spent time in Europe this summer, traveling and shooting the drama Sils Mariawith Juliette Binoche and Chloë Grace Moretz, while Rob—who's been keeping the paparazzi busy, what with his female friends and female trainer—has been working closer to home.

He attended a screening of the documentary Seduced and Abandoned on Oct. 23 and the following night was all smiles at the Australians in Film Awards gala in Beverly Hills.

Kristen hit her local pumpkin patch with friends on Saturday. We'll see if she and her ex give Robsten fans a treat by reuniting for Halloween as well!

Justin Bieber, Graffiti Artist: Pop Star Shares Pics of His "New Hobby"

Banksy better watch out, because Justin  Bieber's joined the graffiti game!

On Thursday, Oct. 31, the 19-year-old pop star Instagrammed pictures of his art tagged on buildings. The Biebs himself could be seen practicing his "street art" (aka his "new hobby") wearing sneakers, saggy pants, a hoodie and a baseball cap.

In one picture, Justin is shown tagging "RIP PAC" on a concrete wall. It is unclear whether he was memorializing Tupac Shakur, the pet hamster he named in the late rapper's honor, or both.

The "Believe" singer's partner in crime for the evening was R&B singer Khalil. The former Def Jam artist Instagrammed a picture of "Me & Bizzle trying something new" which, amusingly, shows a cop car—flashing lights on—just around the corner.

Bad boys, bad boys—whatcha gonna do? Well, J.B.'s got a show in Ecuador tonight, so, probably that. Of course, he hasn't just been tagging streets and selling out stadiums in South America—he's been giving back, too.

PHOTOS: Justin gets spanked and scolded by Zach Galifianakis

On Sunday, Oct. 27, he volunteered in an impoverished area of Guatemala City by helping to build a school with Pencils of Promise, a nonprofit run by Scooter Braun's brother, Adam. He gave his "little friend Ricardo" his sunglasses and Instagrammed a video of himself and several kids cheering together.

"blessed to see the world," he tweeted afterwards. "going to do something positive with the gift. wake up each morning and say what u appreciate. helps get u right."

Such wise words from Justin Bieber, the graffiti artist with a heart of gold!

Joe Jonas Slams "Ridiculous" Drug Rumors: "I've Never Touched Heroin in My Life"

Donato Sardella/Getty Images for Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts

After the Jonas Brothers abruptly canceled their tour in mid-October—and before the group officially disbanded—reports surfaced that Joe Jonas was suffering from a drug problem. According to the "See No More" singer himself, however, such stories couldn't be further from the truth.

"It's ridiculous!" the 24-year-old musician says, breaking his silence about the accusations for the first time ever. "We're not saying anything for two or three weeks and I'm a drug addict!"

Joe's girlfriend, Blanda Eggenschwiler, was also accused of using illegal substances. "It's obviously not true. I've never touched heroin in my life. Neither has my girlfriend," the pop star insists. "It's hilarious to me, but also frustrating as well. It pissed me off when it's about my girl and even about myself."

The Camp Rock star decided to address the allegations after fans began to take the rumors seriously. "I was walking down the street and people are asking me if they can give me a hug and how rehab is," Joe tells People. "I'm like, 'You tell me because I've never been.'"

During an Oct. 30 Good Morning America interview, Joe said he's excited to pursue his own projects. "This is the first time in a long time we've had time to focus on ourselves and support each other through that," he explained. "Like [Nick Jonas] said, we know it's going to be sad for a lot of people, but for us, we are looking forward to the future."

Marvin Gaye's Kids Sue Robin Thicke Over "Blurred Lines" and "Love After War"

Jackson Lee/Splash News, Kypros/Getty Images

Marvin Gaye's kids feel that "Blurred Lines" crossed a few legal boundaries.

Two of the late singer's grown children have filed a lawsuit against Robin Thicke, Pharrell Williams and fellow producer Clifford Harris Jr., alleging that their superlatively popular summer jam wrongfully borrowed from their father's song "Got to Give It Up," and that Thicke's "Love After War" ripped off Gaye's "After the Dance."

Siblings Frankie and Nona Gaye state in their suit that the defendants are guilty of the "blatant copying of a constellation of distinctive and significant compositional elements of Marvin Gaye's classic No. 1 song," according to documents obtained by The Hollywood Reporter.

While Thicke has acknowledged Gaye's influence when it comes to his general musical proclivities, he also filed in August, amid rumblings that the Gaye family was ticked off by his tune, for a preemptive judgment that his songs are his own.They cite an interview Thicke gave to GQ in which he said, "Pharrell and I were in the studio and I told him that one of my favorite songs of all time was Marvin Gaye's 'Got to Give It Up.' I was like, 'Damn, we should make something like that, something with that groove.' Then he started playing a little something and we literally wrote the song in about a half hour and recorded it."

"Being reminiscent of a 'sound' is not copyright infringement," Thicke's complaint stated. "The intent in producing 'Blurred Lines' was to evoke an era."

"There are no similarities between plaintiffs' composition and those the claimants allege they own, other than commonplace musical elements," the suit continued. "Plaintiffs created a hit and did it without copying anyone else's composition."

Not so, claim Nona and Frankie Gaye, who are alleging copyright infringement, breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing, breach of fiduciary duty and breach of contract and recission directed against music publisher EMI. They claim the label failed the family by failing to protect their father's music.

They are also claiming copyright infringement regarding Thicke's "Love After War," stating that it shares "a similar chorus, hook melody and more with Gaye's 'After the Dance.'"

The plaintiffs are asking for damanges and contend that EMI should not only forfeit profits from "Blurred Lines" but also be stripped of the right to administer Gaye's song catalog.

"Plaintiffs anticipated a baseless counterclaim for copyright infringement when they filed their original complaint for declaratory relief, so no surprise there," Howard King, attorney for defendants, said in a statement to THR. "What is surprising in their press-release-disguised-as-a-complaint (much of which will eventually be stricken by the court) is their acknowledgment that the Gaye family has no standing to bring a copyright claim. For this, they blame EMI, the administrator and registered copyright owner of the Marvin Gaye songs.

"Obviously, EMI, which is in the business of collecting substantial sums for actual infringements, regardless of the publishing affiliations of the infringers, consulted their own expert musicologists who gave the same opinion our 3 musicologists gave: The genres of the songs are the same, the notes are different. So whether or not plaintiffs are fans of Marvin Gaye is irrelevant; no infringement occurred here."

Marvin Gaye III, who was named in Thicke's initial complaint but isn't party to his siblings' countersuit, told E! News this summer that he believed credit should be given where it's due.

"The lack of respect for the Marvin Gaye name is something people think they can get away with," he said. "By them suing us, they want us to bow down and give them what they want."

Chris Brown Kisses Karrueche Tran Before Heading to Rehab—See the Pic

Instagram

Before Chris Brown entered rehab on Tuesday for anger management in the wake of his assault charge, Breezy got in a sweet goodbye kiss with girlfriend Karrueche Tran.

Tran posted a pic of the pair exchanging a smooch on her Instagram page last night with the caption, "Always & Forever❤."

Talk about a bittersweet Halloween.

No word how long her R&B star beau will be at the facility, but it was just a little more than a week ago that she and the 24-year-old Brown got into that spooky holiday spirit when they checked out Universal Studios Hollywood's Halloween Horror Nights.

Unfortunately, this past Sunday apparently a darker force took hold of the "F.A.M.E." singer, as he is accused of punching 20-year-old Parker Isaac Adams and breaking his nose after the fan tried to photobomb Brown and two women at the W Hotel in Washington D.C.

The Grammy winner, who has denied wrongdoing, was subsequently arrested and charged with felony assault.

But a judge knocked that down to simple misdemeanor assault at his court appearance on Monday, after which Brown elected to seek help, according to his rep, in order to "gain focus and insight into his past and recent behavior."

More than likely, he'll remain holed up in rehab for the next four weeks until he's due back in court on Nov. 25.

My Type of Dreamhouse: Plane House by K Studio

The horizontal planes influencing the design of Plane House are what gives it its name. Designed by K Studio, the home on the Greek island of Skaithos was created to merge the internal and external elements, capitalizing on both. Concrete, light timber flooring, and white landscaping reflects the natural sunlight of the area and ties the house to its environment. The large pool is situated on the front terrace to take in the 270-degree view over the coastline and to provide a cooling breeze as the north wind flows uphill over the water’s surface. Cooking, dining, and entertaining areas are merged in multi use spaces to get rid of definite lines and complete the feeling of openness.

Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr Split Up

Bruce Glikas/FilmMagic

Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr are no longer.

Sources tell me the couple has split after three years of marriage.

A rep for Bloom exclusively confirms the breakup. "In a joint statement, Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr have announced that they have been amicably separated for the past few months," the rep said. "After six years together, they have recently decided to formalize their separation."

The statement continued, "Despite this being the end of their marriage, they love, support and respect each other as both parents of their son and as family."

The 36-year-old British actor and the 30-year-old Australian Victoria's Secret model began dating in 2007. They were married in July 2010 after announcing their engagment just a month beforehand.

Kerr gave birth to their son, Flynn, on Jan. 6, 2011.

She and Bloom were last photographed together by the paparazzi on Oct. 8. Their last public appearance was at the opening of Romeo and Juliet on Broadway on Sept. 19. Bloom is currently starring in the production with Condola Rashad.

Felipe Ramales/PacificCoastNews.com

"When I saw Orlando on Broadway in Romeo and Juliet, I was blown away," Kerr said in the November issue of Cosmopolitan. "For someone to be able to learn all that and hold the energy to do it every day, six days a week—I have so much respect for him. We don't run lines though. We keep that very separate. That would be like me asking him to teach me how to catwalk."

Bloom recently put his Hollywood Hills home on the market for $4.5 million. He had been renting it out for $16,500 a month while he and the family were living in NYC.

Kate Upton Talks Playing The Other Woman With Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann

Monica Schipper/FilmMagic

Kate Upton is not only a bikini babe, but she's also a high-fashion model and a movie star—who's not slowing down anytime soon.

The 21-year-old stunner recently completed filming her upcoming flick, The Other Woman, in which she stars alongside Leslie Mann and Cameron Diaz, and according to the blond beauty, she could not have had a better experience.

"I was on set with Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann and they were the most inspirational and amazing women I had the honor to work with," the blond beauty gushed to E! News while promoting her partnership with Gillette and Movember. "They were really helpful in my experience with the movie, and I really appreciated all of their advice and all of their encouragement throughout the movie set."

The Nick Cassavetes-directed flick tells the story of a woman (Diaz), who, upon finding out she's not her boyfriend's (NikolajCoster-Waldau) primary lover, teams up with his wife (Leslie Mann) and other mistress (Upton) to plot revenge.

And while the cast certainly looked like they had a lot of fun on set (Cam was seen sporting a baby bump while Kate was spotted flashing some serious cleavage), the Sports Illustrated star also said she learned a great deal from her talented costars.

"You know what? They helped me in every way," she revealed. "My life, and you know, how to feel confident in creating the role and being the character."

Sounds like the ladies quickly became BFFs, and Upton responded "yes" without any hesitation when asked if the threesome developed a friendship.

As for what kind of role the curvaceous beauty hopes to take on next?

Breedo/Splash News

"I'm not really sure what I want my next role to be, but I just really want to feel confident and feel like it's a good choice for me because I'm such a new actress," she shared. "Honestly, I don't know what my strengths are; I'm just trying to find my niche in the acting world," she said, adding that she definitely sees acting in her future.

The young star, who was recently named the 2013 Model of Year, also has no plans of slowing down when it comes to her modeling career despite her immense success this year.

"For me, it's been such an amazing year and such a great experience," she said. "I've worked with some of the most iconic people and I've been very grateful for the whole experience, but I still feel like it's just the beginning, and I have a lot of ways to grow and I just want to continue in this direction."

For Upton, it seems like it's only up from here.

Fifty Shades' Jamie Dornan & Dakota Johnson Won't Be Alone: Here Are 9 Other Steamy Movie Couples!

Tim Whitby/Michael Buckner/Getty Images

Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele are getting ready to enter the Red Room of Pain.

After wondering who would take Charlie Hunnam's place as the male lead, production finally confirmed that Hollywood hunk Jamie Dornan will be stepping into the role, starring opposite Dakota Johnson in Fifty Shades of Grey.

And although fans may turn fifty shades of red watching these two actors get racy on the big screen for the adaptation of E L James' erotica novel, we must remind ourselves that they're not the first (or last) duo to get hot and heavy for a film.

Just take these sexy onscreen pairs as an example...

Andrew Cooper, Summit Entertainment

1. Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart, Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1:Obviously we had to include the couple that inspired Fifty Shades. For three books, Twihards were anticipating some sexy lovin' to go on between Bella Swan and her vampire lover Edward Cullen. And when it finally happened, viewers were left with a visual of pillow feathers everywhere and a broken bed frame, calling to their imagination to fill in the blanks.

20th Century Fox

2. Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie, Mr. & Mrs. Smith: Talk about tough love. Once John and Jane learn that they're both assassins hired by competing agencies to kill each other, the boredom from their marriage vanishes. Sure, things get a little tricky at one point, but the angst ultimately builds up to a very memorable (and sexy!) moment.

3. Diane Lane & Oiliver Martinez, Unfaithful: Morally, this is all wrong (hence the title). Sexually, this is everything. Connie Sumner finds herself going astray and begins indulging into an adulterous fling with a hot young man named Paul. Ultimately, her hubby Ed (Richard Gere) begins to learn what's going on, but before the you-know-what hits the fan, Lane and Martinez's characters give us scenes that make it hard to look away.

4. Rachel McAdams & Ryan Gosling, The Notebook: Not only did this film tug at hearts and require an entire box of Kleenex, but the romance between Noah and Allie was so electrifying that it became one of the most passionate love scenes in film. It also made many women long for a man that will not only pick them up and kiss them in the rain, but also write them a love letter every day of the year.

UNIVERSAL PICTURES

5. Jennifer Lopez & George Clooney, Out of Sight: Forget the fact that these are two very attractive Hollywood actors, their 1998 flick was actually voted as one of the sexiest films of all time, getting labeled as a "cinematic aphrodisiac." A career bank robber (Clooney) breaks out of jail and shares a moment of mutual attraction with a US Marshall (Lopez) he has kidnapped, including a super steamy (literally) bathtub scene.

6. Mila Kunis & Natalie Portman, Black Swan: Guys may have turned down seeing this movie once they heard it was about ballet, but little did they know the psychological thriller featured one of the most talked about girl-on-girl scenes since Wild Things. And did we mention it's between Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis?! Fantasies came true with this film.

7. Aaron Taylor-Johnson & Keira Knightley, Anna Karenina: This pairing is great for so many reasons. First of all, it may not look like it from the photo, but these two actors get down and dirty (don't believe us? Check out this GIF). Secondly, the Kick Ass star—who, in our opinion, would have also made a great Christian Grey—is married to Fifty Shades director Sam Taylor-Johnson. And, to make the connection come full circle, his costar Knightley once dated Dornan aka Christian Grey.

Paramount Pictures

8. Leonardo DiCaprio & Kate Winslet, Titanic: Five words—hand on the car window. Fans of the iconic film will always remember the steamy imprint of Rose's hand as she finally got it on with the young and handsome Jack Dawson. Sure, the naked drawing of Rose wearing the necklace (and only the necklace) is a big moment too, but that was just a tease for what was to come.

Warner Bros. Pictures

9. Whitney Houston & Kevin Costner, The Bodyguard: They continuously bumped heads, but Rachel knew that Frank Farmer was the only man she could trust and turn to when her safety was in question. Once the walls came down, so did the clothes. And it was a beautiful thing.
