They're starring together as lovers in the upcoming sci-fi drama Equals.

So it's only natural that Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult would want to spend some time together bonding before filming gets underway.

And that's exactly what they did on Wednesday morning, spotted by an eagle-eyed fan enjoying
a sushi meal at the Tsukiji Market in Tokyo, Japan.

Twitter user @turducken09 snapped a couple of photos of the pair as they tucked into fresh fish while sitting side-by-side at the restaurant counter, which he then shared on social media.

'Had the best sushi breky this morning at Daiwa in Tsukiji Fish Market w/ famous peeps. #kristenstewart #nicholashoult (sic),' he captioned a snap in which the two actors could be seen leaving the eatery following their meal.

The 24-year-old Twilight star led the way, her co-star towering above her as he followed closely behind.

Both were dressed down for the outing, with Kristen clad in pale blue jeans and a cropped white midriff-baring T-shirt through which her dark bra was visible.

She had a yellow and black plaid shirt tied around her waist and slipped a navy blue cap on backwards over her recently lopped locks as she tucked into the food before removing it as she headed out.

She appeared to be wearing not a lick of make-up, while she also chose to forgo sunglasses despite the bright sunshine.

While she debuted an edgier short, cropped hairstyle that was dyed a bright orange colour during Paris Fashion Week on July 8, the actress's tresses had reverted back to their natural brown with filming set to begin in just a matter of days.

Nicholas, also 24, kept it casual for the low-key excursion, too, donning jeans, a white and blue baseball-style jersey and with a bright red woollen beanie over his mane.

A second image shared on Twitter showed the couple sitting at the counter as their sushi was freshly prepared in front of them, Nicholas's back turned to the camera while Kristen is visible in profile.

Kristen has remained single since splitting from Robert Pattinson more than a year ago in the wake of her very public cheating scandal with Snow White And The Huntsman director Rupert Sanders
in 2012.

They reconciled for a brief time after the affair came out, but it wasn't to last for the former co-stars.

Nicholas, meanwhile, has endured his own on-off romance with Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence, whom he began dating in 2010.

Conflicting rumours continue to swirl that the couple have either broken up or have made their
union official by getting engaged, though the notoriously private pair have yet to comment one
way or another.

However, with both Kristen and Nicholas having a reputation for hooking up with their co-stars on set, 23-year-old Jen may well have reason to be concerned, after all, she and her beau first got together on the set of X-Men: First Class.
