Rush Wedding for Olivia Wilde and Chris Hemsworth

Don't they make a beautiful couple!

However, the glamorous pair aren't really getting hitched but instead were filming scenes on the set of upcoming Formula 1 film biopic, Rush, recreating the wedding of British racing driver, hell-raiser and playboy James Hunt and his beautiful 1970's supermodel bride, Suzy Miller, one of the most famous couples in the world of their day!

Set against the glamorous golden age of Formula 1 racing in the seventies and directed by Ron Howard, the film tells the story of the great sporting rivalry between handsome Hunt, played by Chris Hemsworth and his methodical opponent Niki Lauder and focuses its lens on his relationship with Miller played by Olivia Wilde. The film is due for release in US cinemas in 2013.

Charming, charismatic and unruly, Hunt proposed to Miller only a few weeks after their first meeting and married soon after in 1974. If you don't know the story we won't spoil it for you except to say these happy scenes didn't last long for the racing legend and his bride.

Wilde effortlessly fell into character by wearing a long, ivory satin empire gown with a beautiful lace bodice and cap sleeves, completing the look with a veil edged in lace. Although the gown is different to the original worn by Miller we are sure you will agree Wilde holds more than a passing resemblance to the Supermodel both in her looks and by the way her hair has been styled.

Hemsworth, however, wore almost the same attire as James Hunt did on their big day and ladies doesn't he look handsome!
