It is probably clear that we cannot always get along with all our colleagues. And it is no different in the world of glamor and glitz, where internal disputes can quickly turn into real drama, which is reported on by almost every yellow newspaper. And that this is indeed the case, is evidenced by these acting couples who had a unique chemistry on the screens, but hated each other behind the cameras.
Which couples of actors, the favorites of the audience, are easy behind the cameras they hate?
Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall
Carrie and Samantha, real friends on the small screen, with an undeniable chemistry, in real life do not share even a shadow of the friendship that connected the girls in the series Sex and the City. Kim and Sarah are said to be at odds mainly because of jealousy - Kim is said to be jealous of Sarah because she makes more money, and Sarah is said to be jealous of Kim because she wishes Carrie was a lot more like Samantha.
Ariana Grande and Victoria Justice
Pop sensation Ariana Grande rose to fame with the TV series Victorious, where she played one of Victoria Justice's best and closest friends. Although their friendship seemed to be so strong even behind the cameras (mostly thanks to social media), the girls are said to downright hate each other. In an interview with Seventeen magazine, Ariana admitted that she was bullied on set, but at the same time hinted that Victoria's malice was behind it. Although she never confirmed it, some cryptic tweets from both girls hinted that they never hit it off.
Lauren Graham and Scott Patterson
When Amy Sherman Palladino first introduced the world to Midway with her mother (Gilmore Girls), there was no shortage of girls who wished their mothers were more like Lorelai. And while fans have been patiently waiting for Lorelai to finally admit that Luke is her soul mate, Lauren Graham and Scott Patterson have completely dismissed the idea behind the cameras. Lauren said they got along just enough to work together, but otherwise wanted nothing to do with each other.
Blake Lively and Leighton Meester
Blair Waldorf and Serena Van Der Woodsen are best friends in the series Gossip Girl, where they always stand by each other despite the complications and understand each other completely. While you'd expect such good chemistry on the small screen to be backed by equally good chemistry in real life, that's far from the case. Their friendship simply disappeared during the last years of the series' filming, and when they finished the series, they stopped talking. She didn't invite Blake Leighton to the wedding, and Blake wasn't invited to the Leighton wedding either. They also did not congratulate each other. Why exactly, no one knows.
William Shatner and George Takei
Star Trek fans are very familiar with the feud between William Shatner, who played the famous Captain James T. Kirk, and George Takei, who played Lt. Hikaru Sulu. Although they went on quite a few missions together, they never really crossed paths. Takei said that Shatner is a "plain egoist" and Shatner said that Takei is a "pathological liar". They never hid their animosity and it looks like they won't be getting even anytime soon.
Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty
The friendship between Brenda and Kelly was one of the main reasons why Beverly Hills 90210 was one of the hottest shows of the 90s. Unfortunately, it was completely different behind the cameras. Jennie admitted in an interview that she and Shannen often wanted to "pull their hair out and scratch their eyes". While promoting her book, Jennie explained why she and Shannen never got along: "We were young girls looking for our own path and individuality. Shannen and I are both Aries according to our horoscope, we are both strong, independent women, so we often push our heads through the wall.”
Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp
The pairing of two of Hollywood's biggest stars (and sexiest) seems like the perfect idea. Otherwise, the talented Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp did not have chemistry with each other in the movie The Tourist. They didn't even really like each other either. Angelina was bothered by Depp's sloppiness, and Depp thought that Angelina was "stuck and full of herself".
Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling
The Notebook is a modern version of Romeo and Juliet. Noah and Allie have their ups and downs, they know how to make us laugh, but they also know how to make us cry. The chemistry between Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling felt real and viewers wished they were a couple in real life - which eventually happened. In 2005, Rachel and Ryan began a rather turbulent relationship that lasted 3 years on and off. Ironically, the couple did not get along on the set of The Notebook, there was simply no chemistry between them. Director Nick Cassavetes said in an interview that Ryan came to him with a request to replace Rachel with another actress, saying that he could not work with her.
Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio
Romeo + Juliet is one of the adaptations of the greatest love story that could not be detected behind the cameras. Claire Danes was bothered by Leonardo's mischievousness, and even though Leonardo was only 22 at the time, that didn't stop Claire from calling him "very immature". Leonardo, on the other hand, thought that Claire was "quite stuck up". They avoided each other whenever they could. Regardless of everything, Claire gave the Oscar to Leonardo from the bottom of her heart and added that Leonardo is "an excellent actor, a genius whom we all adore".
Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer
Jennifer and David entertained us for a decade as Rachel and Ross on Friends. Their relationship was realistic, turbulent, and we all knew they would end up together. The talented duo convinced us and we believed that they are friends even behind the cameras. But that's not the case. David was upset by Jennifer's statement when she stated in an interview in 2010 that she "has no idea who he will marry", even though he and his partner had been together for quite a few years. Jennifer didn't invite David to her wedding with Justin Theroux either, and David didn't like that. But hope is not lost yet! They enjoyed each other's company at recent events.
