Hi everyone,
I was looking at a website about actors and actresses, and it was discussing a possible romance between an actor and an actress. The following expression seems to be an idiom "Robert et Kristen ensemble ? Ils ne seraient pas les premiers acteurs à se mettre ensemble après avoir tourné sur le même plateau !" The last part seems to me to say "having turned on the same plateau". Could anyone explain this saying to me? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

The verb tourner can also mean "to shoot," in the sense of tourner un film -- to shoot a film.
Thus, the part which is troubling you could be translated as "after having filmed on the same set." Edited by Faim de Siècle on 17 June 2009 at 2:59pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
