They pursued a flirtatious friendship that led to quite a bit more than that in the 2009 movie He’s Just Not That Into You.

And now Scarlett Johansson and Bradley Cooper seem to be playing out a real-life version of their screen adventures.

The two were spotted dining at an exclusive Bel Air restaurant on Monday night, with one observer reporting that the chemistry between them was ‘VERY evident’.

No Bradley in sight: Scarlett was seen leaving a Santa Monica lunch spot with girlfriends on the weekend

Johansson, 27, and Cooper, 37, dined at Wolfgang Puck at Bel Air restaurant, according to Radar Online.

The blonde A-listers had ‘a fun, flirty dinner’ the website reports, and ‘a steady stream of giggles’ was heard emanating from their table.

The 27-year-old Avengers beauty drank wine during dinner, and the two engaged in witty banter throughout.

‘They seemed very comfortable together and it was pretty obvious they are into each other,’ an eyewitness told RadarOnline.com

‘Bradley seemed almost distracted by Scarlett’s beauty, especially since she was wearing a very low cut dress, and Scarlett was totally working her charms.

‘She kept flipping her hair when she laughed at his jokes.

‘The chemistry between them VERY evident and they looked totally wrapped up in each other — very cute!

‘They were definitely having more than a “friends” dinner, it seemed pretty obvious they totally have the hots for each other.’

Bradley, named ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ by People magazine, apparently stood up when Scarlett excused herself for the ladies room, and again when she returned to the table.

Dazzling couple: Scarlett Johansson and Bradley Cooper made a glamorous couple at the Vanity Fair cocktail reception following the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in Washington, DC.

The Hangover actor, who once dated Renee Zellweger and most recently has been in an on-again, off-again relationship with Zoe Saldana, also reportedly paid for the dinner.

The duo then relocated to the piano bar for drinks.

The Match Point actress was spotted having breakfast and then lunch with friends in Los Angeles over the weekend, but there was no Bradley in sight.

The Black Dahlia star announced last month that her Los Feliz home was on the market.

She bought the luxury home in the LA neighborhood for $2.9m in 2010 with ex-husband Ryan Reynolds.

But after an expensive renovation, the couple spent just six months in the house before announcing their marriage was over.

On screen lovers: Scarlett and Bradley were rumoured to be dating after they worked together on the 2009 movie ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’.
