Celebrity Pairs Who Didn't Get Along on Set
Brenda and Kelly played BFFs on Beverly Hills, 90210, but the actresses who played them were not so close offscreen. Garth reveals there were times during filming when they wanted to "claw each other's eyes out." However, despite the rumored tension, the two were later able to come together and appear in the 90210 spinoff. After Shannen Doherty died at 53, her Jennie Garth detailed their "real relationship" in a tribute to her former Beverly Hills, 90210 costar.
Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey had a rocky dynamic while filming Dirty Dancing that could be seen on and off the set.
While The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air seamlessly tried to replace Aunt Viv midway through the show, viewers wouldn't let it go unnoticed. According to Hubert, her dismissal was all Smith's doing in 1993 when she was fired and replaced by Daphne Reid. Hubert later called Smith an "egomaniac," and stated that he is the only reason she would never do a Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reunion.
If the rumors of discontent on the set of Julia Roberts' new film, "I Love Trouble," are to be believed, the film couldn't be more aptly named. Trouble was truly the choice word when these two played onscreen lovers in the 1994 rom-com I Love Trouble. Rumors of the tension began flying even before the film came out, claiming that Roberts found Nolte to have a machismo attitude, after which Nolte was driven to agitate Roberts even more. Apparently their dislike for each other became so intense, the two ended up having more scenes with their stand-ins than with each other.
On-screen chemistry does not guarantee on-set camaraderie. Take Baz Luhrmann's 1996 romance 'Romeo + Juliet, starring Claire Danes and Leonardo Dicaprio.
Bill Murray has long been known as one of the most lovable, comedic legends–it only makes sense that he would get along with any and every co-star. Not true when it came to Lucy Liu. Apparently the two got in a scuffle while rehearsing a scene, in which Murray insulted Liu and the delivery of her lines. Murray would later forgo appearing in the Charlie's Angels sequel.
While the two made one of the most romantic onscreen couples of all time, things apparently had a rocky start, and reports state that Gosling frequently complained about McAdams. In an interview with writer and director Nicholas Sparks, he stated: "Maybe I'm not supposed to tell this story, but they were really not getting along one day on set. Really not. And Ryan came to me, and there's 150 people standing in this big scene, and he says, 'Nick come here.' And he's doing a scene with Rachel and he says, 'Would you take her out of here and bring in another actress to read off camera with me?' I said, 'What?' He says, 'I can't. I can't do it with her. I'm just not getting anything from this.' After an impromptu therapy session, the two actors were able to work things out, so much so that they even dated offscreen once filming wrapped from 2005 to 2007.
Despite playing best friends on the series, the two apparently ignored each other any time they weren't filming scenes for the show. However, since the franchise ended, both have blamed any tension to long and exhausting days on set. Cattrall stated: "nineteen-hour workdays are stressful, whether you're driving a truck, working in a coal mine or on a set and trying to be your brightest at 4 o' clock in the morning. But there's a camaraderie that happened through all of that." Sarah Jessica Parker also once stated in an interview with Marie Claire: "There are times when all of us have been sensitive and sometimes feelings get hurt. But I don't have any regrets about how I've treated people."
