British actor Callum Turner is currently immersed in the production of his latest romantic comedy, “One Night Only,” where he showcases a passionate on-screen chemistry with actress Monica Barbaro. Recently spotted filming near The Little Red Lighthouse in upper Manhattan, the two shared lively moments, including enthusiastic waves from the top of the monument and a romantic kiss captured by the cameras.
Directed by Will Gluck, renowned for his work on “Anyone but You,” “One Night Only” follows the story of two strangers searching for a companion to spend a night with on the unique day when premarital sex is legally permitted. In addition to Turner and Barbaro, the film features comedian Pete Davidson in the role of a detective, set to hit cinemas next summer.
While he brings vibrant romantic scenes to life with Barbaro, Turner’s real-life romance is with pop star Dua Lipa. The couple’s engagement was revealed in June, as Lipa reflected on their commitment, stating, “The decision to grow up together, to share a life and, I don’t know, to be best friends forever — it’s a really special feeling.”
Turner, 35, shared intriguing details about their relationship’s beginnings, explaining that a series of “strange coincidences” nearly kept them apart. The pair had several near-misses before finally connecting at a friend’s birthday party, where they discovered a mutual fondness for the book “Trust” by Hernan Diaz. He humorously recounted their first encounter, saying, “I look up at the sky and say, ‘I heard you. I understood you. The signs are clear.’ And indeed, that was the first time.”
As Turner dives deeper into his film role, the combination of his cinematic work and personal life reflects a journey filled with both creative passion and heartfelt connection. “One Night Only” is anticipated to be a delightful blend of humor and emotion, bolstered by Turner’s real-life love story.
