There’s buzz that Broadway co-stars Uma Thurman and Josh Lucas have struck up a relationship offstage, and a spy says that they were seen smooching in the Theater District on Wednesday night.
A source said that Thurman and Lucas — who star as husband and wife onstage in “The Parisian Woman” — were locking lips outside Times Square haunt Jimmy’s Corner on West 44th Street.
“They were in front of Jimmy’s Corner Wednesday night . . . Uma Thurman was talking to Josh Lucas,” says a source. “They proceeded to scoot into the doorway of Jimmy’s and made out.” Their show at the Hudson Theatre is on the same block as the bar.
When reached for comment, Thurman was coy, saying through her rep of any alleged canoodling: “I would be so honored, but, alas, we just play husband and wife in ‘The Parisian Woman,’ and he’s the best fake husband ever.” Lucas added, “I would be so honored! She is the best stage wife ever, and I hope people think our stage chemistry is so good we must be . . .”
Earlier in the night, Lucas was seen giving Thurman a more chaste peck on the cheek at another venerable spot, Sardi’s — where they were both honored with caricatures on the famed eatery’s wall.
Buzz has been brewing that Thurman and Lucas were an item since they began starring in the show in November. Spies told us they were together on Dec. 28 at Times Square sushi speakeasy Sushi by Bou.
A spy said at the time, “It looks like they’re really getting along on and off the stage.” Back then, a source close to the stars insisted they were just friends. Their play is a political drama by “House of Cards” creator Beau Willimon.
Thurman, 47, has been previously married to Gary Oldman and Ethan Hawke, and linked to André Balazs and Arpad Busson. Lucas, 46, has had an on/off relationship with his ex-wife, Jessica Ciencin Henriquez.
Last month, Thurman revealed in a bombshell interview that she was assaulted by disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.
