Paul Bettany is an icon when it comes to the world of Hollywood. While he is best known for his work as Vision in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the number of masterpieces he has been a part of is exceptional. Ranging from A Beautiful Mind to The DaVinci Code, there is no denying that he knows what he is doing in his professional life.
Simultaneously, the same could be said for his personal life, as a happily married father. During an interview, the actor was asked a simple question about his childhood, and his answer was truly heartwarming, showing just how much he loves his wife.
Paul Bettany’s Childhood Crush
During the release of Avengers: Infinity War, Paul Bettany, and Elizabeth Olsen gave an interview (via jennifericonnelly on Instagram) where they talked about some very interesting topics. While the questions ranged from talking about the film itself, to what it was like for them to work with each other, there was one deviation in their childhoods. The pair were asked to reveal their first crushes.
Oh my god, mine’s embarrassing. Jennifer Connelly in Labyrinth.
Olsen took the easy route, mentioning that it was John Stamos or Frank Sinatra. Bettany, on the other hand, mentioned that he was quite embarrassing for him. The actor then went on to reveal that his first crush happened to be Jennifer Connelly in Labyrinth. The answer was quite ironic considering Bettany is married to Connelly now.
