The Daily Telegraph reports
One of Australia's most eligible bachelors is
believed to have become a groom.
Joel Edgerton, currently appearing alongside "it" actress
Jessica Chastain in Bin Laden capture-and-kill blockbuster Zero Dark Thirty,
has proposed to his girlfriend Alexis Blake.
Friends excitedly shared that the super-private pair became engaged
before Christmas but have kept the happy news quiet.
While there was no official comment from camp Edgerton yesterday, the
38-year-old Great Gatsby actor is said to have easily decided he wanted Blake
to be his bride.
"They haven't been together too long, but they are so into
this," a pal told us.
The couple were introduced by friends in August while Edgerton was
holidaying in Bali, where Blake is from.
Blake, who lives in Denpasar, came to Sydney not long after their
meeting and, along with her young daughter, was photographed with Edgerton at
Bondi looking very lovey dovey.
We hear she has also visited her man in LA.
It's unclear how the Blacktown boy popped the question, but he does seem
like the romantic type.
It's just another positive step in Edgerton's trajectory, with Zero
peaking at No.1 at the US box office and now sitting at No.2. Director Kathryn
Bigelow said she had wanted to work with Edgerton since seeing him in David
Michod's Aussie crime drama Animal Kingdom.
Bigelow has had to constantly defend her film's accuracy: "It's 10
years compressed into 2 1/2 hours ... It's accurate in the way a movie can be
accurate."
