Joaquin Phoenix has revealed that he lives with Rooney Mara, his co-star in the upcoming film “Mary Magdalene,” in a new interview.
Page Six exclusively reported in January that Phoenix and Mara — who play Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene in the film — became a couple after they “fell for each other on the set.”
By February, a source told us, “They are madly in love.”
In the profile of Phoenix for T Magazine, Bret Easton Ellis writes of the reclusive star: “He lives with Mara in the Hollywood Hills (he’s never been married and has no children) and is usually asleep by 9 p.m. and up at 6.”
Ellis writes that Phoenix — who has upcoming films directed by Gus Van Sant and Jacques Audiard — rarely sees new movies himself.
“When asked if any recent films have excited him, he thinks about it, stuck, and then answers, genuinely, surprising himself: ‘”Moana”! I thought it was beautiful,’” the piece reports. But “he later corrects himself and says it was actually ‘The Lost City of Z,’ James Gray’s latest — Phoenix has starred in four of Gray’s seven films.”
