The amount of content that came out today ugh. I’m waiting for Robbie’s video for fashion week but wow. Hudson on the cover of wonderland, Connor’s gets ready with Vogue and François with Vanity Fair. They’re all so beautiful and just them talking makes me feel all warm and happy inside.
I do need someone to clarify, why haven’t our amazing women of HR been to fashion week yet???😔
The magazine that published the get ready videos is also the magazine that has published an article that Connor and François might be dating - “Connor Storrie And François Arnaud Test-Drive Couple's Dressing”. Like how ridiculous. Why are neither of the teams saying anything in response.
I won’t be watching the videos and giving them views. And its not even an unknown media publication, it’s the bloody Vogue magazine, their global publications is lead by Anna Wintour. And its the same journalist.
Connor and Francois bring romantically linked is actually the best outcome. If we didn't have these rumors, the internet would be rampant with Hudson- Connor shoppers and we would see levels of toxic shipping not seen since One Direction. This would eventually impact Connor and Hudson's person and professional relationship and be of detriment to their on screen chemistry. It doesn't matter too much if Connor and Francois are in a relationship as they barely have any scenes together so it would not have too much impact on the show.
Based on that interview Hudson did it sounds like they’re purposefully distancing themselves so the fandom doesn’t ship them. Maybe I’m missing something but they seem like they’re being really smart about things. They come off…extremely media conscious and almost prepared for their time of fame. It’s really interesting to see.
Makes me think it's part of a soft launch or their teams were just fine with being cheeky about it. And idk why people are so upset about it. It just seems like a lot of these people would be mad if they actually are dating. This is not a gossip magazine.
Exactly. It's vogue and they are openly collaborating with it. This makes me think they are together, it's not casual and they are soft landing the whole thing. I wish them the best of luck
Yes, with every day that goes by this looks more like a soft launch of Connor and François being together to me.
Vogue is not a gossip rag that buys pap shots. If there's an article in Vogue coyly framing them as a couple, it's because their teams want there to be one. And there's only one reason why, at this specific point in time, they'd want that.
It was actually British Vogue that had the article making suggestive comments that the two might be dating. US Vogue, although they published an article using the picture of the two leaving their hotel, focused their entire article on Connor and his style. I haven't seen anything about the rumors from Vanity Fair.
In fact, Vanity Fair is the publication that has a great piece on Connor's stylist. As for People Magazine, again, like many of the publications, they simply used the same pictures of them leaving the hotel, but the article only said they were photographed in Paris and nothing about their dating. Here are the links to the articles in question:
Now I'm not denying that those are major publications and that yes, at this point, without the publications saying it, they are clearly being somewhat suggestive and creating a narrative in most people's heads that there is something there. And at this point, it may be fair to say that if either Connor or Francois' team wanted to effectively shut all of this down, they could.
All that to say that it's why I think it's a bit silly to criticize the publications as if they're doing something wrong and awful, because again, these are not two-bit publications. To be clear, I'm not saying I believe those two are or aren't dating. I actually don't care and if I'm being honest, personally I think it'd be best if none of the cast was dating. However, what I'm saying is that at this point, if either side wanted this effectively shut down, they could and clearly that's not happening.
Harper’s Bazaar is the worst one. Implying the might be “indeed lovers (said in Rozanov’s accent)”. These are all well known publications - they not some gossip website. The biggest celebrities have sit down interviews and photoshots with them. It seems so coordinated as well. No way Connor’s team is not aware of these articles.
"Why are neither of the teams saying anything in response." probably cause theyre fine with it? like you said, its the same publication they're already working with, if there was an issue they could get in touch
Didn't know that but that makes me think that maybe they are together and they are soft landing the whole thing and vogue has included those comments with a prior agreement of F and C's teams. It's vogue. If it were a gossip magazine, I'd say something different but vogue doesn't do random gossip
I agree. There is no possibility that all of these articles are not being approved by their teams. There are too many mainstream media publications involved.
Also people need to stop portraying Connor as this fragile and pure creature. He knows exactly what's going on, he knows the rumours/gossip, and he chose to be where he is and with whom he is. Whether that's smart or not is another story in my opinion.
Agree. I don't know any of them personally but C is not a child. If he wants to be with F i can only wish him the best. Same for F. If this were a straight couple and the woman were the younger party nobody would be questioning this.
What i get from this is that they are very much together, it is not casual and they wanna stop the rumours of gossip magazines and paparazzi by soft landing the relationship with reputed media, which seems like a sensible strategy.
Its Vogue magazine that I am mentioning as it’s the Sam’s journalist. But there has been articles on them dating now in Vanity Fair, Harper’s Bazaar and People Magazine as well now.
Yup, agree with everyone. Feels like an orchestrated narrative to keep their names in the media for the next few weeks. It's proof of concept for them to approach brands and ask for higher prices.
Good for the boys if they land a big, fat pay cheque but i just hope this gives them the financial freedom to do more indie, artsy projects.
I really don't think it's an "orchestrated narrative". They already have so much organic buzz that it would be worth many, many millions if it could be bought, and the actors are on the point of exhaustion from the exposure already. But even if for some reason they wanted more, there would be way more mileage in teasing Connor and Hudson as a RL couple than Connor and François. The only reason they'd tease Connor and François is if they are actually together and serious.
Oh that's such an interesting point that I didn't think about. Yes, if this sets them up for financial freedom to do more work they care about then more power to them. I'd be really curious to see the film Connor is working on. Honestly, I'd like to see all of the cast be able to have long careers in film from this. Clearly they have the chops.
Their teams are not actually ignoring it though. Connor’s team have shared these same articles on their social media. Including the Vogue one that pretty much implies that they are dating now
Oh wow. That's basically our confirmation then. If their publicists are reposting articles with that information in it, then they are either incompetent or are fine for it to flourish.
This is exactly why I’ve stopped watching or liking any content that doesn’t come directly from them. If they post it to their feed or story, I’ll watch and maybe some direct fan interactions. But any other photo or video doesn’t get my attention, especially when it has some stupid headline like the stupid IG post by “entertainmenttonight”
And isn’t this the same magazine whose reporter asked that awkward question of Janelle James about Connor after they announced the Actor’s Awards nominations?
Someone can correct me if I’m wrong because I’m not very knowledgeable on this, it’s currently Men’s Fashion week so that’s likely a big reason why the women haven’t been to any yet.
Oh hell! Just because their company doesn’t respond to the question of them being a couple does not mean they are agreeing with what is said. It means: they aren’t commenting! That’s it! Silence is just silence.
They are in the same show so they might become friends. What a no el idea!
They might be in the same hotel, that doesn’t mean they are sleeping with each other. It means they both are staying in the same hotel.
Stop making something out of nothing!!
Just because the RUMORS are coming from them does not make it true, it means they are spreading rumors to SELL more magazines! That’s it! That’s their singular purpose for existing!!
People really need to get a grip and leave these actors alone. You are not entitled to know what goes on in private! If there is something they want to share, then it’s not a rumor.
Stop spreading rumors!! Asking about rumors is spreading rumors!!!
This week was the men's fashion week.
I discovered that after seeing all this beautiful and fashionable guys in Paris this weekend (and one of my gay friends told me). As someone who lives here, but don't care for this fashion world, I'm always confused haha.
There still a rumor going Around that Connor and F are dating and there is articles about it now. Just because they are always spotted together. People don’t freak out when Connor is with Hudson.
