Cate Blanchett’s husband Andrew Upton has been spotted looking cosy with actress Harriet Dyer.
The pair were snapped walking very close together, with 50-year-old Andrew’s arm draped around the 27-year-old Love Child star’s shoulders, according to pictures published in the Daily Mail Australia.

The director was seen pulling the young ingénue close as they walked side by side down the streets of Sydney.
Andrew and Harriet have worked together before on projects for Sydney Theatre Company, but this intimate encounter looked to be something more.
They both looked very affectionate towards one another, and at one point Harriet had her hand pressed against his chest.
The two were said to be inseparable while they mingled with patrons in a local Sydney bar.
Harriet at one point was leaning seductively back, her arm casually draped on the banister of a set of stairs as Andrew kept leaning in to her.
The couple spent most of their night thereafter with their arms intertwined, frequently gazing into each other’s eyes.
Andrew has reportedly since stated that the two have a platonic friendship, explaining: “We’ve been friends for years, she’s a good friend.”
Andrew and Oscar-winner Cate married in 1997 and are parents to Dashiell, 14, Roman, 12, Ignatius, eight, and 20-month-old daughter, Edith.
