    The co-stars were spotted getting cosy on Gerard’s motorbike as they cruised down the Pacific Coast Highway.

    Are Jessica Biel and Gerard Butler more than ‘just friends’? The hot co-stars are no stranger to romance rumours, but new pics of them sharing a cosy motorbike ride seem to suggest the two are indeed a couple.

    29-year-old Jessica cuddled up to the infamous ladies man while cruising down the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu.

    The pair met on the set of Playing the Field, and attracted attention for their close friendship - particularly as Jessica had just split from boyfriend of four years, Justin Timberlake.

    Whilst out at a dinner for cast and crew sparks supposedly flew, with an onlooker claiming to People: ‘They looked like a couple. They were having a good time.’

    It wouldn't be the first time that either of them had dated their co-stars. Gerard was linked to Jennifer Aniston after they filmed The Bounty Hunter, and Jessica dated Edward Norton, who she starred with in The Illusionist.

    Although both of their reps have insisted they are ‘just friends’ Jess snuggling up behind Gerard on his motorbike seems to suggest otherwise!
