The Truth About Laura Prepon And Topher Grace's Rumored Hookup
We all have those friends who 'live' in our television who make us wish we could hang out with them in real life! That '70s Show became a beloved and instant classic for its portrayal of a group of friends who all had incredibly different personalities but remained friends who navigated through the tumultuous teen years, with a lot of groove and bell bottoms. The show, which was on the air from 1998 until 2006, became an instant classic, with each character becoming staples in the careers of the actors who brought them to life!
Lovable nerd Eric Forman and effortlessly cool gal Donna Pinciotti were among the coolest TV couples we all wanted to emulate, with lots of cool chemistry, making many fans wonder if Laura Prepon and Topher Grace were actually feeling 'groovy' about one another behind-the-scenes.
Topher And Laura Forever?
Eric and Donna's love story took a long time to unfold, allowing their story to touch on all of the natural points of a relationship, through That '70s Show's eight seasons. Allowing Donna and Eric's romance to naturally unfold gave an opportunity for Topher Grace and Laura Prepon to spend a lot of time on and off-screen getting to know one another. During the early days of filming That '70s Show, the duo's chemistry may have transcended off the pages of script.
During the filming of the first season of That '70s Show, the two actors may have spent some time together and brought some romance into the then-current Nineties timeline. According to Celebs Inside, the duo was "Rumored to have hooked up in 1998." Being on set together for so many years, how did Prepon and Grace take their relationship beyond one night?
Inside A Groovy Relationship
The commitment actors and actresses make to bring a television show to life, entails they foster a good relationship with one another; The cast of That '70s Show absolutely checked off this box! Despite the fact the cast had no idea what the future would hold when they began filming the series back in 1998, creating a familial sense of friendship was high on their priority list. When reflecting on having a lasting sense of friendship with his castmates, Topher Grace revealed "Few people say they owe everything to one small group, but in my case it's true..."
The theme of keeping up a beautiful friendship ran deep with Grace and his on-screen love interest Laura Prepon. As it turns out, Grace and Prepon's on-screen romance did not translate into real life. Any possibility of the duo ever becoming more than friends may have fizzled out over several kisses, and not in the way we would expect!
Locking lips on-screen over a long period of time may have influenced any kind of potential chemistry. According to Laura, herself, her friend Topher's kissing skills did not rank very highly among the spiciest of her on-screen lip-locking moments; Prepon put her future Orange Is The New Black love interest Taylor Schilling ahead of her long-time TV love.
As it turns out, any possibility of a real-life romance between Prepon and Grace never evolved past their place in the rumor mill! While fans may have secretly hoped the duo could follow in the footsteps of their co-stars Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, who started their days filming That '70s Show just as friends but would grow up and eventually fall in love and tie the knot, the fantasy was not to be.
Inside The Duo's Real-Life Romances
Prepon's real-life romance was quite close to home. For many years, she was in a serious relationship with the brother of her and Grace's That '70s Show co-star Danny Masterson, Christopher. The duo ended up splitting up a year after That '70s Show wrapped production. She is now happily married to actor Ben Foster, and the couple has a child together.
In the period of time Prepon and Grace were rumored to be dating, Grace was actually enjoying an off-screen romance with Anne Hathaway! The couple had begun dating while Grace was still filming That '70s Show, and Hathaway was first discovering her acting abilities while she was cast on a short-lived TV series Get Real. While the duo did not last, Grace and Hathaway appeared on-screen together in 2010 while filming the ensemble film Valentine's Day.
Sometimes, making the decision not to bring your beloved character's relationship into the real world, may be the best decision for a longstanding and healthy friendship! While Grace and Prepon may not see one another regularly any longer, they have been documented publicly running into one another during glamorous Hollywood events and looking quite thrilled to be in one another's company! The duo was once spotted sharing smiles with each other at a charity event back in 2015, according to The Daily Mail.
For now, we have eight seasons worth of sweet moments shared on-screen between Eric and Donna to tide us over! Their relationship perfectly captured the ups and downs of young love, with a satisfying ending to please all longtime Eric and Donna shippers. Sometimes, the greatest love we can have is the love of friendship, where we spend our days hanging out in the basement, rocking out to the sounds of Big Star and Cheap Trick!
