Anne Hathaway, 25, and actor Josh Lucas, 37, seemed to have more in common than politics when the two dined at Earls restaurant during the Democratic National Convention in Denver on Aug. 28. “They definitely looked like a couple,” a witness tells Life & Style. “They were really into each other, giggling and smiling and even holding hands at one point. You could almost taste their chemistry!”

In June, Anne split with her longtime boyfriend, financier (and accused con man) Raffaello Follieri. But she seems to be getting over that relationship just fine. “She looked beautiful and happy,” adds the witness at Earls. “Josh put his arm around her for a bit before they left.”

Anne and Josh were also connected at the hip on Aug. 26, when a slew of celebs turned out at a National Apartment Association event, where it was reported that at one point during an address by the association’s president, Doug Culkin, Anne and Josh disappeared together in the back.
