Single Rachel McAdams gets roses and cuddles from mascot at basketball game in first outing since Michael Sheen split


She just split with Michael Sheen after two years of dating.

But newly single Rachel McAdams is already courting attention from a smitten mascot at Monday night's Toronto Raptors game at the Air Canada Centre.

The 34-year-old actress was watching the Raptors play the Washington Wizards courtside when the affectionate dinosaur stomped over and offered her a bouquet of roses, a dino-kiss, and a plush toy of himself.

The Canadian redhead beamed with excitement at her sharp-toothed suitor's touching public gesture and responded with her own wide grin.
Rachel, wearing a baby blue peasant blouse and dark blue jeans, appeared to be in great spirits despite her recent breakup with the 44-year-old Welshman.
Us Weekly first reported the couple calling it quits, but a source told E! News that the split might only be temporary.
'It's likely not permanent,' said the insider, calling the breakup a 'temporary hiccup.'

Rachel and Michael fell in love shortly after filming Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris, but the pressures of long-distance love ultimately lead to the split.

The Notebook star lives in Toronto, Canada, while the Tron: Legacy funnyman divides his time between his native Wales and Los Angeles.
She said: 'Michael and I never spend more than three weeks apart - we rack up a lot of air miles - but you have to be quite adaptable in this business whether you are in a relationship or not.

'Trying to establish roots somewhere is a bit of a joke.'

The couple were last photographed together in November while attending the LA premiere of the Twilight saga – Breaking Dawn: Part II, which Sheen starred in.
Back in 2003 when Sheen ended his eight-year relationship with Kate Beckinsale, the English actress said she was 'embarassed' that he never proposed.

The former couple are supportive parents to 14-year-old daughter Lily, and Kate remarked that she felt they had been married.

'If you keep a library book out long enough, you feel it's yours,' Beckinsale told People.
Trouble surfaced last October when Michael abruptly quit Twitter after receiving hurtful comments asking how a beautiful woman would date him.

He said at the time: 'I don’t need to read those things. It was just abuse, people writing stupid things, as people do.

'On the one hand Twitter gives you the opportunity to engage with people, which is great, but on the other there are people who feel they can say whatever they want, put poison out there, really, without fear of any repercussions.'
Before Sheen, Rachel's most famous former romance was with Ryan Gosling, to whom she was briefly engaged before their split in 2007.

The Wedding Crashers actress will next appear in Terrence Malick's drama To the Wonder, Richard Curtis's sci-fi comedy About Time, and Anton Corbijn's thriller A Most Wanted Man.

Meanwhile, Sheen has the Tina Fey comedy Admission, the family-fantasy Mariah Mundi and the Midas Box, and the Showtime series Masters of Sex.
