Josh Brolin has been pictured kissing Kathryn Boyd.
The 'No Country for Old Men' actor was seen smooching with the blonde, who has reportedly worked for him as an assistant, in Rome this weekend.
According to People.com, the pair "wandered the cobblestone streets and stopped at the famous Trevi Fountain."
Josh, 46, has been single since his divorce from Diane Lane, his wife of eight years, was finalised last year.
The actor - who also had a stint in rehab November last year after a number of drunken incidents - in is in Italy working on 'Everest', about an ill-fated expedition up the world's highest mountain in 1996, which resulted in eight people's death when their team got caught in a blizzard. The movie will also star Jake Gyllenhaal, Jason Clarke and John Hawkes.
In preparation for the film, Josh and Jake went for a hike in the Santa Monica mountains, but things took a downward turn after they lost sight of their direction markers.
A source explained: "They'd started out in Malibu canyon and followed marked paths until they got to a rocky area where Jake wanted to climb. When they started back down the other side of the mountain, Jake kept insisting he knew the way but after an hour, Josh realised Jake had no clue."
Facing the prospect of darkness falling, temperatures plummeting and dangerous wildlife including coyotes and poisonous snakes attacking them, the pair appealed to the first people they came across, a Boy Scout troop, who helped bring them back down safely.

Charlie Sheen is upset people keep referring to his fianceè as a porn star.
The 'Anger Management' actor is preparing to wed Brett Rossi, but is angry people keep referring to her adult movie past, which saw her appear in titles including 'Me and My Girlfriend', 'Fantasy Girls' and 'My Sister's Husband', which was released last year.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "It's absolutely making Charlie crazy that the media keeps referring to Brett as a porn star, because she no longer is doing that. She recently graduated from nursing school.
"Furthermore, her stage name is Brett Rossi, her legal name is Scottine Ross.
"He wants people to refer to her as Scottie, which is the name she goes by in her personal life. Charlie has told his publicist to tell media outlets to stop calling her a porn star."

He originally filed for divorce in July 2013, but Brett, 24, didn't register a response until January this year, two weeks before she got engaged to Charlie. The divorce is expected to be legally completed in the next few months.
Charlie has previously been married three times and is a father of five. He has grown-up daughter Cassandra with former girlfriend Paula Profitt, daughters Sam, nine, and Lola, eight, with second wife Denise Richards and twin sons Bob and Max, four, with his third spouse, Brooke Mueller.

Priscilla Presley has compared Miley Cyrus to Elvis Presley.
The ex-wife of the legendary late singer thinks the 'Wrecking Ball' hitmaker is "very talented" and doesn't see anything wrong with her infamous 'twerking' dance moves as the 'Jailhouse Rock' star was slammed for his suggestive hip movements, which were seen as vulgar in the 1950s.
Priscilla told 'Entertainment Tonight': "I think she's very talented. I really can't criticise, because Elvis went through the same thing."
However, Priscilla thinks Miley - who has been criticised for her stage antics, which include simulating a sex act and dancing in skimpy outfits during her 'Bangerz' tour - and other young stars take raunchy performances to an "extreme" and she doesn't understand the former Disney star's outrageous behaviour.
She continued: "It's taken to extreme [today]. I don't know what to think of her, I really don't. I think maybe Miley feels she has to express herself and this is what she needs right now."
She said Elvis, who died in 1977, had "sex appeal" when he was younger, but he was bothered by the reaction to his dance movements, which were inspired by listening to gospel music.
Priscilla, 68, explained: "He got reprimanded really by not only the public but a lot of people from high places, who were like, 'Gosh, who's this on the scene, it's vulgar'."
Meanwhile, Priscilla, who was married to Elvis for six years and had a daughter, Lisa Marie, with the star, has dedicated her time to the new '60 Years of Rock 'n' Roll' exhibit at Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee, which features a number of mementos of the star's legacy.
She said: "I have so many memories. I can walk in this house and feel the energy. I walk in the door and it's like, 'Oh my gosh!' His spirit is definitely here."

Nelly Furtado admits it can be "challenging" working with her husband.
The 'Say it Right' hitmaker has worked with her sound engineer spouse Demacio 'Demo' Castellon - who she married in 2008 - on two albums, 'Loose' in 2006 and 2009's 'Mi Plan' and though they share "healthy tension", their studio sessions usually result in "good things".
She told PEOPLE magazine: "It's a healthy tension working together. It doesn't always go smoothly, of course, and it can be really challenging when there are differences of opinion, which of course happens. But good things always tend to come out of it, and that's the whole point."
"We make it work because he's often doing his own thing. I go off and do my own thing, so it's not like we're working together all the time."
Nelly is returning to the recording studio later this year and is looking forward to her spouse to push her into creating work that is better than ever.
She added: "When we work together, he challenges me. That's what makes him so great in the studio. If it were an easy process, the final product wouldn't be very good, but he helps me to reach a little bit further. He pushes my boundaries."
And away from the studio, the 35-year-old singer - who has 10-year-old daughter Nevis with former boyfriend Jasper Gahunia - says she and her family have a "great life".
She said: "We're very blessed to have a beautiful family. We have a great life together. Life is good."

Jared Leto is "glad" he is only experiencing huge success now.
The 42-year-old star - who launched his career in 1994 teen drama 'My So-Called Life' - has won multiple awards for his performance as transgendered AIDS victim Rayon in 'Dallas Buyers Club', while his band Thirty Seconds to Mars have enjoyed their best chart performances with their most recent album 'Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams' and though he is aware his career is going through a "crazy" time, Jared is "very respectful" of the direction his life is going in.
He told Flaunt magazine: This is a crazy time in my life, but it's a focused time. It's not like it's out of control.
"You only get to do this once and in this case once may be the only time you get to do it. It's a funny way to say it, but it's kind of true.
"I'm acutely aware of that and very respectful of the path I'm walking down. I'm glad that this happened to me now and not when I first started. It's a really good thing."
Jared adored working on 'Dallas Buyers Club' and felt he "really got to know" his troubled character.
He said: "She's an incredible, empathetic, beautiful dreamer. A heart the size of an ocean. She's an absolutely one-of-a-kind creature. So, a lot of love and support for her as well.
"I feel like she became a person, a real person. Especially because I was so deep inside of her. I really feel like I got to know this person. It became like a living, breathing life. It was a once-in-a-lifetime role."

Britain's Zara Phillips wants two children.
The 32-year-old royal had her first child, Mia, on January 17 - with husband Mike Tindall - and although she isn't ready for another tiny tot just yet, the blonde beauty is hoping to give her daughter a sibling in the future.
Quizzed on whether she wouldn't discount doing it all again, the young royal told UK's HELLO! magazine: "I probably would right at this minute, but we do want two children."
Mike - who married 15th in the line of succession in 2011 - recalled the day Mia was born and admits they called Queen Elizabeth shortly after the arrival of their bundle of joy.
He said: "As soon as we had Mia I sent a text to all the family. Zara is very close to her grandmother, so of course she made a phone call once we got back home."
However, they kept Mia's name a secret for a couple of days until they'd worked out whether the moniker "suited" her.
He added: "We didn't tell anyone for a few days because we had to know the baby first and see if the name suited her. We'd each made a short list from the baby book and our choices pretty much matched."

Damon Albarn insists it's "not a given" he has now become a solo artist.
The Blur singer, who is set to release his first solo album 'Everyday Robots' on April 28, waited 25 years to put out his own record and thought it might never happen.
He told Rolling Stone magazine: "I just never imagined it was something I'd do. Who doesn't love playing in a band? It's f**ing brilliant. The best. Maybe I was just subconsciously avoiding a solo album.
"You could say that I'm embarking on a new stage in my life, but really I could turn around next time and do something else. So it's not a given that I've become a solo artist."
The 45-year-old singer claims it's the most "collaborative record" he's ever worked on, having joined forces with XL Recordings boss, Richard Russell.
He said: "We wanted to keep exploring what we were doing. We had the inevitable conversation about starting a band. It was fun to come up with concepts and names, but one day he came in and said, 'Look, if you ask me what I want to do, I want to produce you.' And I went, 'Alright, I suppose that means I've got to put it out under my own name.' Some of the songs just came from the two of us experimenting in the studio."
Damon will play a number of intimate London gig to launch his solo debut, at the Rivioli Ballroom in Crofton Park on April 30, followed by People's Palace in Mile End on May 1.
The singer will also be honoured with the NME Award for Innovation at this year's NME Awards with Austin, Texas. The Blur frontman will pick up the award in person on tomorrow (26.02.14) at the London's O2 Academy, Brixton.

Chris Brown has accused his former manager of leaking his new album.
The R&B star, whose record 'X' is set to be released May 5, warned his fans on Twitter that there are "snakes in the grass" and claimed his former boss, Tina Davis, was trying to "sabotage" the release, the follow-up to 2012′s 'Fortune'.
He tweeted: "My old manager is leaking my NEW album and refuses to give me my back up hard drive to sabotage my album. That's F'd up G! (sic)."
Chris later deleted the tweet but added, "Snakes in the grass ... Just stay positive."
Tina, who worked with Chris from the beginning of his career until they parted ways earlier this year, was quick to hit back and deny trying to leak the material.
She posted on Twitter: "@chrisbrown Trace it! Find out where it originated from.RCA can do that for you. Then send a defaming tweet out on who really did it (sic)."
The 'Fine China' hitmaker recently completed his 90-day court-ordered treatment for anger issues but decided to remain in the facility in Malibu for a few days to ensure he didn't slip up again.
A source said: "After Chris left rehab, he headed to a music video shoot, where he broke out some impressive moves for his new single, 'Loyal'."
Chris' friends and family, including his mother Joyce Hawkins, threw him a small homecoming party on Saturday night (22.02.14).

The producer of 'Downton Abbey' has vowed to "quit while we're ahead".
Show boss Gareth Neame says he and creator-and-writer Julian Fellowes are wary of the show outstaying its welcome and will end the hit period drama when they feel it is the right time.
However, the producer says 'Downton' is still in its prime and won't be ending any time soon.
He told Vulture.com: "We have to get out right before people realise they want us to get out. We quit while we're ahead, while people still love the show, and while we've still got stories to tell. I still don't know when that will be yet.
"We don't want to jump out of it too early. We are working on a great big hit show, and one doesn't want to stop working on a great big hit show until you're ready."
Gareth also touched on the status of Julian's long-planned US-set period drama 'The Gilded Age', which is being produced by American network NBC.
The acclaimed writer has previously said he won't begin work on the series until 'Downton' ends.
Gareth explained: "We make eleven episodes of 'Downton' every year, and Julian writes all of it. It's a huge amount of writing for one person to do. There's no way he can do that and work on another show at the same time.
"NBC of course would like to have 'Gilded Age' but everyone accepts that 'Downton' is still a massive success. We're all part of the same company, too. My company is owned by NBC Universal, and as a group we all know 'Downton' is a very important property for the whole company."

Samuel Anderson will have a recurring role in the new series of 'Doctor Who'.
The former 'Emmerdale' actor has signed up to appear in Peter Capaldi's first series as the Doctor, playing school teacher Danny Pink, who works with the Time Lord's companion, Clara Oswald (Jenna-Louise Coleman), at Coal Hill School.
Samuel said in a statement: "I was so excited to join 'Doctor Who' I wanted to jump and click my heels, but I was scared I might not come down before filming started! It's a quintessential part of British culture and I can't believe I'm part of it. It's an honour to be able to work alongside Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman and I can't wait to show people how my character becomes involved with such a fantastic duo!"
'Doctor Who' executive producer Steven Mofatt commented: "For the fourth time in 'Doctor Who' history, Coal Hill School is coming to the aid of the TARDIS. In 1963 teachers Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright accompanied the First Doctor. These days it's the turn of Jenna Coleman as Clara Oswald. And very soon now, Sam Anderson as Danny Pink will be entering the world of the Doctor. But how and why? Answers are coming later this year in Peter Capaldi's first series of 'Doctor Who'!"
Production on the eighth series of the BBC sci-fi drama is currently under way in Cardiff, Wales, and will air on BBC One later this year.

In 1963 teachers Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright accompanied the First Doctor. These days it's the turn of Jenna Coleman as Clara Oswald. And very soon now, Sam Anderson as Danny Pink will be entering the world of the Doctor. But how and why? Answers are coming later this year in Peter Capaldi's first series of 'Doctor Who'!"
Production on the eighth series of the BBC sci-fi drama is currently under way in Cardiff, Wales, and will air on BBC One later this year.

Suzanne Shaw has written a musical with A1's Ben Adams.
The recently eliminated 'Dancing on Ice' contestant has teamed up with 'The Big Reunion' hunk to pen a theatre show, which is described as a "geeky 'Glee' versus 'Star Trek'."
Suzanne said: "I'm a huge fan of musicals. I love everything about them - the music, the costumes, the stories. The largest part of my career has been spent on the musical stage."
The former Hear'Say singer added: "Ben is an extremely talented writer and I'm privileged to be working with him on this."
Suzanne, 32, was eliminated from the all-stars series of 'Dancing on Ice' last week after finding herself in the skate-off with Kyran Bracken, who was himself eliminated last night (23.02.14).
Meanwhile, the star could be in line to join her former Hear'Say bandmate Myleene Klass on another ITV show, 'Loose Women'.
The bubbly blonde is in talks to join the ITV panel show and says her conversations with Myleene often feel like an episode of 'Loose Women'.
She said: "We often get on the phone and our bitching sessions are basically an episode of 'Loose Women'.
"Myleene has had a hell of a lot of changes in her life but we are both at a point where we are not bitter, we are not angry, but we are now very much changed women."
