Who is Nathan Fillion Dating?
It was in 1995 that after eight months of dating, the actor popped the question to Vanessa Marcil, but just six months later, the couple split up.

However, the couple split up very soon. Most recently, the actor has been linked to George Clooney’s ex Krista Allen.

This James Gunn movie is one of the most anticipated ones for the year, and Nathan plays the comic-book-inspired role of TDK(The Detachable Kid). Gunn seems to have taken some artistic liberties with the character, and according to what was revealed in the movie’s trailer, he has the special ability to detach his limbs apons and use them as Fillion has been given a revamped look which includes a green headpiece and vest that will help him detach and re-attach his limbs while fighting.
