It's a tale as old as time that leading men in Hollywood often fall in love with their fellow A-list counterparts. From Tom Holland tying the knot with his fellow Spider-Man co-star, Zendaya, to Emily Blunt and John Krasinski falling in love while filming A Quiet Place.

But despite the unequivocal compatibility between these co-stars, it turns out the vast majority of Hollywood heartthrobs find their future flames away from the bright lights of the red carpet.

From barmaids to nurses, join HELLO! as we take a look at the Hollywood leading men whose wives and girlfriends couldn't be more relatable.

Matt Damon and Luciana Damon

Matt Damon took fans by storm last week when he stepped out at the London premiere of The Odyssey with his beautiful wife, Luciana and their four daughters, Alexia, 27, Isabella, 20, Gia, 17, and Stella, 15.

But did you know, Matt met his beautiful wife while hiding from fans behind the bar where she was working?

Luciana recounted the incredible story, talking to Vogue back in 2018. "I was working as a bartender in South Beach (Miami), and he was shooting a movie there and the crew ended up in the bar one Saturday night…

"But he had started getting recognised and asked for pictures and autographs, and then it got kind of aggressive because people are drinking and stuff, and so he came and hid behind my bar … [wanting to] just hang out back there and have a drink. [Matt]  says 'oh I saw you, and I really wanted to talk to you'. So I put him to work with me! I said: 'You know, if you’re going to be back here, you can’t just be standing there!'

 "He had trained as a bartender for a film years before, so he started making drinks. And he made me a ton of money in tips that night, because of course, everyone wanted to go and see him. So it turned into a really fun night, and then 15 years later, here we are!"

Barry Keoghan & Danica Hall

One more fresh couple on the block is Saltburn star Barry Keoghan and his British flame, Danica Hall.      

The pair debuted their romance when they were spotted packing on the PDA while enjoying a romantic trip to Barcelona last month.

But, unlike his previous girlfriend, the global popstar Sabrina Carpenter, the Staffordshire-born blonde is an esthetician and works for a cosmetic clinic in Marylebone.

We thought Twilight star Taylor Lautner ruined the most iconic married name when he split up with pop megastar Taylor Swift in 2009, but the hopes of having 'Taylor squared' were not lost as he found his future wife in Taylor Dome. 

Unlike the Love Story singer, who earlier this month wed American football star Travis Kelce, Taylor is a registered nurse and met her Hollywood beau through his sister, according to the actor, who claimed: "I've met your future wife," and she was right!

Eddie Redmayne and Hannah Bagshawe

Les Misérables star Eddie Redmayne first noticed his future wife, Hannah Bagshawe, who was a financial public relations executive, in a rather similar way to his fellow Eton alumnus, Prince William, in that it all stemmed from a charity fashion show. 

In 2000, when they were teenagers, Eddie was studying at the prestigious boys' institution, and Hannah's nearby all-girls school was hosting a charity fashion show. 

The Hollywood star volunteered to walk the runway topless, sparking a 12-year friendship before they finally began dating in 2012.

He previously told the Daily Mail: "We first met when we were 15. It took another 15 years for us to sort it out. She’s an incredible woman, very special. So the fact that she said yes was a huge deal.

"When Hannah and I finally got together years later, I had finished rehearsing Les Misérables and was about to start shooting it. I had four days off; I was going to Florence by myself - slightly sad.

"Hannah and I went on a date just before I was to leave. We had known each other for a long time, but not closely. I was like. 'We had a wonderful evening. You wouldn’t want to go to Florence next week, would you?' She was like. 'That’s absurd.' I was like, 'No, no, no.' She said, 'You don’t mean that.' I was like, 'I do.'

"The next morning, I sent my easyJet booking form to her. She let me stew for a few hours, and then she sent back her easyJet booking form. So our first proper date was in Florence, and that felt quite crazy."
