The US website is linking Rachel with James Bond actor Daniel Craig, after they spent time working together on upcoming film Dream House in February and March this year.

Despite the fact that the 007 star has been with his girlfriend Satsuki Mitchell since 2005, a source told the Daily Mail that Rachel was "head over heels" for Daniel, 42."Rachel and Daniel simply sparked during the filming of Dream House in Canada. They have great chemistry," the source said. "Darren's such a good and responsible man, but Daniel's the opposite extreme, he's brooding and mysterious. Darren and Rachel have simply grown apart; they spent long periods away from each other, moving in different directions."
