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 screen tenderness outside the set. Many strong stellar pairs 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 have a strong hostility to each other.
We represent the 10 most brilliant movie duos who, behind the scenes, did not take their partners to the spirit.
10. Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep
An insightful picture of the confrontation of parents who are fighting with each other for custody of their only son would hardly have turned out so successful if less prominent actors played the main roles in it.
However, there is an opinion that the realism with which Dustin and Meryl played a mutual dislike was due to the constant conflicts that occur on the set between the main actors.
Firstly, Streep was dissatisfied with her heroine, so she decided to make significant adjustments to the script, which caused the anger of a partner in the frame. In addition, she was not very scrupulous about Hoffmann, who at the same time was going through a difficult divorce process.
9. Tom Hardy and Shia Lababe
Two temperamental actors during the joint filming couldn’t find a common language, so their communication on the site often came down to verbal skirmish.
And in the end, something that all the crew members were afraid of happened: another conflict between Labaff and Hardy flowed into a fight. When the first was asked a question about the motivation of his behavior, he replied that he was hated by the sharp taunts addressed to him by his HR partner.
8. Ryan Reynolds and Wesley Snipes
They say that shooting the third part of the picture “Blade” has become the most intense of all episodes of this cult picture. According to rumors, the blame for the difficult nature of the actor, who plays the main role.
The thing is that Snipes had difficulty communicating with all partners in the staff. But the most difficult relationship the actor developed with Ryan Reynolds.
As a result, the director had to make a schedule of the filming process so that they intersect as little as possible. Perhaps this particular move allowed avoiding a fight on the site.
7. Lina Headey and Jerome Flynn
While working on the TV series Game of Thrones, 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 categorically refuse to stay with each other in the same room.
Having learned about this, the filmmakers even had to slightly adjust the script, removing all the joint episodes of conflicting actors from there.
6. Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker
Over the entire filming period of the series “Sex and the City”, quarrels between actresses who played the main roles happened repeatedly.
The most difficult working relationship was built at Parker and Cattrall. Basically, the reason for the hostility was a significant difference in fees.
5. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson
The famous series “The X-Files” gained wildly popularity in the 90s and early 2000s.
According to rumors, the relations of actors playing two special FBI agents changed very sharply and unpredictably. This fact at one time stunned fans of the series, because their couple was considered one of the most organic screen tandems.
Dukhovny 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 a new series of The X-Files was 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 reality turned out to be less romantic - in this beautiful picture, the relations between the partners in the frame were warm exclusively 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 relations of these two Hollywood masters from the very beginning were not in the best way. And here it is very difficult to understand what the cause of the conflict is. Most likely, the blame for everything is a banal hostility.
Jim himself has repeatedly admitted to reporters that Lee Jones simply had no sympathy for his current image of a comedian. Of course, because of this, their joint work was not very easy.
However, the professionalism of both actors caused their personal hostility to push into the background and tolerate each other's society 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 quickly deteriorated. As a result, after the filming was completed, Robert and Terence completely stopped communicating.
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 next parts of the film.
Terence decided that the reason for his dismissal was the demand of Downey Jr. to increase his fee, because of which the students had to reduce a significant part of the actors.
1. Shannen Doherty and Alyssa Milano
The heroines of the charmed series at the beginning of the two-thousandth series became idols of a whole generation of teenage girls around the world.
Actresses who played the main characters - the three Holywell sisters with supernatural abilities, were at the top of their popularity.
However, even the fabulous fee and fame could not keep the performer of the role of Prue's older sister - Shannen Doherty from leaving the series.
The reason for this was the endless quarrel 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.
