A video of Kathryn Hahn gazing at fellow actress Rachel Weisz in an “absolutely smitten” way has gone viral.
The award-winning Transparent actress stares at Weisz throughout the video, which was edited together using clips from last month’s The Hollywood Reporter 2019 actresses roundtable.
Hahn also grips the back of Weisz’s chair as well as making both eye contact and physical contact with the star, who has had two queer roles over the past year, appearing in Disobedience and The Favourite.

One of these people wrote: “kathryn admiring her like an angel flung out of space dhskdjd.”

Other people were taken aback by Hahn’s move to hold the back of Weisz’s chair, with one writing: “When she touches the chair, SENSUALITY.”
Another fan said: “nearly audibly gasped when she first put her hand on the Rachel’s chair.”
A different user commented: “Hahn is basically dying from her girl crush and finding reasons to grasp her chair like a bedpost. My gratitude for this cannot be measured.”
