Aww, This Is The Book Dua Lipa And Callum Turner Were Both Reading When They First Met

If you thought meet-cutes were just for the movies, think again. Because when pop star Dua Lipa and actor Callum Turner first locked eyes, it wasn't over cocktails or dancefloor bumping—it was over a book. Yup, a book!

Callum revealed in a recent interview with The Sunday Times that their meet-cute happened when they discovered they were reading the very same title: Trust by Hernán Díaz.

"We sat next to each other and realized we were reading the same book, which is crazy," he said. "I had just finished the first chapter... she looked at me and said, 'I just finished the first chapter too.' I said, 'So we're on the same page.'"

Cue all the heart-eye emojis. 😍 That casual line might just be one of the smoothest pick-up moments ever—and the fact that it worked makes it feel straight out of a romantic comedy.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Trust, dives into the world of a 1920s New York financier and his wife, told through four cleverly connected narratives. It's a story about money, power, and perception, where every version of the truth depends on who's telling it. With its themes of illusion and connection, it's easy to see why this particular title might have sparked something between the two.

And if you're curious (or hoping to recreate your own "we're on the same page" moment), the book retails to around P400, and you can grab it from online resellers on Shopee and Lazada or at your nearest Fully Booked branch (though stocks are quite limited!)

Callum also shared that the universe had tried to play matchmaker before. "We had maybe two, three, four, five near misses over our time where we didn't meet," he told The Sunday Times. But when that literary connection finally happened, everything clicked.

So, if you've been waiting for a sign to start reading more—consider this it. Who knows? The next time you bring a book to a party, you might just find someone on the same page, too.
