Francois Arnaud is perhaps choking on that “none of your f***ing enterprise” line he tossed at Andy Cohen … ‘trigger the rumors about him relationship Connor Storrie are getting louder, steamier, and rather a lot more durable to dodge!
TMZ snagged photographs of the 2 actors settling in for a comfortable dinner on the old-school, fancy Smoke Home in Burbank … and whereas there wasn’t full-on PDA, the vitality was very a lot date night time. Dim lighting, nonstop laughs, and that locked-in, only-you-exist vibe stated lots.
There’s no denying the chemistry right here — and if this is the actual deal, François higher brace himself for much more backlash from diehard “Heated Rivalry” followers who severely wrestle separating fantasy from actual life. Even NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has stated he’s an enormous fan.
For these not absolutely caught up — Connor performs half of a forbidden, fan-obsessed romance with Hudson Williams’ character Shane Hollander within the steamy, queer hockey drama — and viewers are deep of their emotions. So deep, in reality, that when Connor was first noticed with François — who performs Scott Hunter within the present — at JFK earlier mid-June, the web spiral obtained ugly quick … together with reported demise threats.
Backside line — the frenzy isn’t slowing down. Whether or not this turns right into a full-blown IRL romance or not, followers (and Andy Cohen) could need to cool it, cease fanning the flames, and look forward to S2 to get their repair of Connor/Shane’s on-screen chemistry.
