10 Couples Of Actors Who Can’t Stand Each Other But Were Forced To Film Together

In cinema, it often happens that actors who need to portray warm and reverent feelings for each other sometimes get used to their role so much that they transfer the on-screen tenderness off the set. Many strong star couples have developed in this way.

However, the opposite situations happen no less often: when actors need to reincarnate as friends or lovers, while in real life these people experience persistent hostility towards each other.

We present the 10 most striking film duets who couldn’t stand their partners behind the scenes.

10 Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep

A heartfelt picture about the confrontation of parents who are at war with each other for custody of their only son, it would hardly have been so successful if less prominent actors had played the main roles in it.

However, there is an opinion that the realism with which Dustin and Meryl played mutual dislike was due to the constant conflicts that occur on the set between the leading actors.

Firstly, Streep was dissatisfied with her character, so she decided to make significant adjustments to the script, which caused the anger of her partner in the frame. In addition, she was not very scrupulous in relation to Hoffmann, who at that very time was going through a difficult divorce process.

9. Tom Hardy and Shia LaBeouf

Two temperamental actors during joint filming could not find a common language, so their communication on the set most often came down to a verbal skirmish.

And in the end, what all the members of the film crew were afraid of happened: another conflict between LaBeouf and Hardy spilled over into a fight. When the first was asked about the motivation of his behavior, he replied that he was pissed off by the sharp witticisms addressed to him by his partner in the frame.

8. Ryan Reynolds and Wesley Snipes

It is said that the shooting of the third part of the picture “Blade” was the most intense of all the episodes of this cult picture. According to rumors, the difficult character of the actor who plays the main role is to blame.

The thing is that Snipes had difficulty communicating with all his partners in the frame. But the actor’s relationship was most difficult with Ryan Reynolds.

As a result, the director had to schedule the filming process in such a way that they overlapped as little as possible. Perhaps it was this move that made it possible to avoid a fight on the site.

7. Lena Headey and Jerome Flynn

While working on the Game of Thrones series, Headey and Flynn never shared scenes. And the reason for everything is their long-standing conflict. Now the actors not only do not communicate, but also categorically refuse to stay with each other in the same room.

Upon learning of this, the filmmakers even had to slightly correct the script, removing all the joint episodes of the conflicting actors from there.

6. Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker

For the entire filming period of the series “Sex and the City”, quarrels between the actresses who played the main roles happened repeatedly.

The hardest working relationship was built between Parker and Cattrall. Basically, the cause of hostility was a significant difference in fees.

5. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson

The well-known TV series The X-Files became wildly popular in the 90s and early 2000s.

According to rumors, the relationship of the actors playing the two FBI special agents changed very abruptly and unpredictably. This fact at one time stunned fans of the series, because their couple was considered one of the most organic on-screen tandems.

Duchovny subsequently admitted to reporters that while working on the picture, he did not even have the strength to look at his partner.

However, after the filming was completed, they still managed to find a common language, thanks to which new episodes of The X-Files were filmed.

4. Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Gray

Incredibly sensual “dirty” dances and hot kisses of the main characters made the audience suspect that Patrick and Jennifer really have tender feelings for each other.

But the reality turned out to be less romantic – in this beautiful picture, the relationship between the partners in the frame was warm only on the screen.

In fact, Swayze and Gray were very uncomfortable in each other’s company. Patrick believed that Jennifer was not a disciplined and immature girl, and she, in turn, believed that her partner was a bore and a snob.

3. Tommy Lee Jones and Jim Carrey

The relationship of these two masters of Hollywood from the very beginning was not in the best way. And here it is very difficult to understand what the cause of the conflict is. Most likely, the fault of everything is banal hostility.

Jim himself admitted to reporters more than once that Lee Jones simply had no sympathy for his established image of a comedian. Of course, because of this, their joint work progressed very difficult.

However, the professionalism of both actors forced their personal dislike to overshadow and tolerate each other’s company until the end of filming.

2. Robert Downey Jr and Terrence Howard

Before the joint filming, the actors were friends. However, working together on a common project, their relationship rapidly deteriorated. As a result, after the filming was completed, Robert and Terence stopped communicating altogether.

After the release of the first episode of Iron Man, Howard did not renew the contract, although at first it was planned that he would take part in the following parts of the film.

Terence decided that the reason for his dismissal was the requirement of Downey Jr. to increase his fee, which is why the studios had to cut a significant part of the actors.

1. Shannen Doherty and Alyssa Milano

The heroines of the popular series “Charmed” at the beginning of the XNUMXs became the idols of a whole generation of teenage girls around the world.

The actresses who played the roles of the main characters – the three Holywell sisters with supernatural powers, were at the top of popularity.

However, even a fabulous fee and fame could not keep the performer of the role of Prue’s older sister, Shannen Doherty, from leaving the series.

The fault was the endless quarrels between her and Alice Milano, who played the role of Phoebe’s younger sister. In addition, the actress did not like the direction of the storyline, which was chosen by the producers.

As a result, the screen image of Shannen was killed by a bloodthirsty demon, and Rose McGowan came in her place.
