Actress Jennifer Connelly says she began to develop feelings for her husband Paul Bettany after she heard him play guitar.
The 44-year-old actress met her spouse, 44, almost 15 years ago when they starred alongside one another in "A Beautiful Mind" but, although there was an instant chemistry, the brunette beauty believes it wasn't until she saw the actor's musical talent that she was really won over by him, reported Female First.
"I remember meeting him at the first read through. I thought, 'Hmm, he's really good, that guy.' He started playing guitar and it was all over."

"I've never been this close to someone that beautiful before. I remember thinking, 'I bet every man you ever met has tried to flirt with you.' "
The couple, who have children Stellan, 12, and Agnes, four, together, struck up a relationship once filming had wrapped up in 2001 and they married shortly afterwards in 2003.
Connelly, who has 18-year-old son Kai from a previous relationship, and Bettany also starred opposite one another in 2009's "Creation" but their new project "Shelter" marks the first time the hunk has stepped behind the camera.
