For A-listers, Dua Lipa and Callum Turner are probably accustomed to a life of luxury filled with private jets, VIP treatment, and glamour galore.
Yet a lengthy new profile reveals that is not always the case.
In an interview conducted ahead of their courthouse wedding, Callum, 36, offered a glimpse into their surprisingly normal life together outside of the spotlight, one spent bonding over movies and books.
The Hollywood Reporter spoke with Callum about his rising career but the actor couldn't help but frequently bring up his partner, Dua, 30, and their laid-back life.
It is a relationship that goes beyond a romantic connection with Callum saying Dua also inspires him artistically: 'You want to be inspired by the person you’re with.'
The wildly-successful couple have also managed to make time with each other a priority amid their busy schedules.
Callum Turner has shed light on his surprisingly normal life with Dua Lipa in an interview conducted before they got married
The couple wed at Old Marylebone Town Hall in London last month and are now honeymooning in Italy
'We make sure that we’re together as much as possible,' he explained.
When they are together, their life resembles any other average couple.
At the time of the interview, Turner was several chapters into a book recommended by Dua's book club, Service95 - the Zadie Smith novel White Teeth - and had also introduced her to one of his favorite movies, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.
The couple had watched it for the first time together in what was Turner's 10th time seeing it and Dua's first.
'It was the first time she’d seen it, and I was like, "There are some famous faces here — let me see if you can guess them,"' he said, laughing at himself. 'I was such a d**khead about it: ‘I’ve seen this film before, so see if you can notice these things!’
The couple also headed to the movies to watch the box office hit Obsession.
'I don’t like horror movies, I just want to get back to my book,' he explained. 'I mean, I’m about to go do one, so it’s not that I’m not into them — it’s just that they scare me!'
What the couple were up to that evening were still unclear: 'Dua and I both have a pretty strong pool of art that we love and draw upon and share with each other,' he said.

THR noted the couple had selected One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest during their recent movie night 'with the understanding of Turner’s deep love for it.'
By the time the interview was released, the couple had already tied the knot in a at the Old Marylebone Town Hall in London and are now in Italy enjoying a honeymoon following a three day wedding extravaganza.
Turner remained mum about their wedding plans in his interview but did offer another personal anecdote about him and Dua.
The couple recently had a late night backgammon session with director James Gray at his home after they were unable to make a dinner party he had invited them to earlier in the evening.
They arrived later than Gray would have liked, as he had sent them a text telling them not to come due to bedtime.
'We make sure that we’re together as much as possible,' he told the outlet
'He was like, "I can’t believe you turned up at my house this late, you motherf**ker,"' he said.
'We had this little tête-à-tête, all of us, and then we chilled for an hour or so. Then Dua beat them all at backgammon. She’s a killer at backgammon.'
Dua and Turner first wed in London followed by a second wedding in Sicily, which featured a performance by Sir Elton John.
The pair laid on a lavish party at the historic Villa Valguarnera in Bagheria, east of Palermo, where they exchanged vows six days after their official do at Marylebone Town Hall.
And in a 'very emotional' moment, Sir Elton, a close friend of the bride, performed his hit Your Song.
Dua was understood to have worn a gown decorated with diamonds, designed by fashion legend Donatella Versace, who was seen celebrating with the newlyweds at their cocktail party on Friday night.
