"I think the reported hottest man in the world should meet with the hottest human rights lawyer in the world", wrote Hollywood's most celebrated bachelor to Amal after the pair had been introduced by a mutual friend at a charity-fundraising event last September.
"It was all very tongue in cheek but it got the ball rolling," said a friend of the couple. "Amal found it funny, but she still made him wait a few days before replying." "Once she replied that was it – it's been non-stop ever since. "The source added: "At first Amal was playing very hard to get and would not take his phone number, which simply made George even more intrigued. "In the end he managed to get her email address and began sending her a series of flirty messages. He was very up front and joked about the fact they were both considered the hottest people in their respected professions."
