Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz have fuelled rumours of a romance after spending Christmas together in the Somerset countryside.

The Bond star and The Mummy star have seen their close friendship become a source of intense speculation after Daniel reportedly ended his engagement to producer Satsuki Mitchell days after Rachel split with director Darren Aronofsky. The awesome twosome reportedly fell in love after playing a married couple in the crime thriller, Dream House, scheduled for worldwide release next year. They were snapped by The News of the World looking cosy on a country walk near the quaint Yeovil cottage that they are believed to have stayed in over the festive period.

A source who spotted the pair commented: "'Daniel and Rachel looked like a romantic couple in a film. They were laughing and hanging on to each other's words and stopping to take photos of each other."

The publication also claims that the actors made a Christmas Eve visit to a local pub, where a fellow drinker said: "They were clinging to each other like honeymooners. The chemistry was obvious."
