Oliver Stone is excited about Shia LeBeouf and Carey Mulligan’s off-screen romance.

“It was all thanks to me! I was thrilled when I realized they were going to be an item,” Oliver said about his Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps costars. “It just made their scenes together all the better - especially the love scenes. Let’s just say it was no stretch for them!”

Shia and Carey, who were first linked in August last year, didn’t let their blossoming romance distract them from their jobs. “They were completely professional on the set, but there was no mistaking what was happening. You could see their chemistry right away, and it was pretty powerful,” Stone recalled.

Although LaBeouf and Mulligan have said very little about their relationship, Shia previously stated: “It works out. It’s not like we’re the premiere couple - we’re not the red carpet king and queen.”

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps will debut on September 24.
