The two stars were seen looking cosy at new Los Angeles restaurant Cut, where they enjoyed a lavish dinner together.

A source said: “They seemed really into each other. Renee definitely left with Bruce.” However, it has been claimed that the other diners in the restaurant failed to notice that Bruce and Renee were sat with one another because they were distracted by another star – Reese Witherspoon.

According to reports, the ‘Walk The Line’ actress – who filed for divorce from husband Ryan Phillippe earlier this month – was eating a salad alone, before Renee saw her and went over to have a chat. The two actresses were soon joined by ‘Die Hard’ actor Bruce and the trio then spent almost an hour together talking and drinking.

Meanwhile, Renee has claimed that her life was easier when she was a barmaid – before becoming an international movie star. She recently said: “When I first went to Hollywood, I remember working for two years in a bar. I was happy when all I had to worry about was the labels on the bottles. “I’m not a ‘look at me’ girl? When I have to walk down the red carpet before a premiere, I am terrified by the wall of photographers screaming my name. It is so violent.”
