At the London premiere of “Murder on the Orient Express,” one of the film’s producers, Judy Hofflund, hinted that Bateman and Ridley struck a romance while filming the movie. When asked if any of the cast members got especially close on set, Hofflund reportedly told People (via Just Jared), “Something kinda happened with Tom and Daisy… but that’s public news, right? I should keep my mouth shut.”
That same night, Bateman was questioned about his dating life, but the actor refused to give any details. “I’m absolutely not going anywhere near that! But nice try,” he said, before claiming Hofflund’s comment was the producers’s way of “creating a buzz” around the film. “They’ve got to otherwise no one will come and see the movie!”
