28 Co-Stars Who Hated Each Other In Real Life
Workplace tension is something most of us have dealt with. Honestly, I can't think of a single job I've had —except BuzzFeed— where there wasn't at least one person I absolutely couldn't stand. Maybe that says more about me than anything else, but the truth is, we're often forced to work alongside people we don't get along with. And that can be tough—sometimes even anxiety-inducing. At the end of the day, it's all about the check, so it's imperative that we don't get caught up in what we want but rather, what we need collectively. For many thespians in Hollywood, this type of friction can lead to some significant tension that manages to escape the workplace. It's not hard to think about Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively, who are currently embroiled in litigation surrounding declarations of sexual harassment and defamation, among other claims. This is perhaps an extreme example, but historically, there have been many moments where co-stars, despite how much chemistry they share on screen, despise each other's guts. Most times, we only find out about it after the fact. Below are 14 instances where Hollywood co-stars who played lovers or friends on-screen disliked each other when the cameras went off. Tension rose on the set of Charlie's Angels between Bill Murray and Lucy Liu, according to an interview Liu gave to the Los Angeles Times. Liu explained that, after reworking a scene with her co-stars at a time when Murray wasn't on set, he returned and apparently took out some of his aggression toward her. "As we're doing the scene, Bill starts to sort of hurl insults, and I won't get into the specifics, but it kept going on and on," she said. "I was, like, 'Wow, he seems like he's looking straight at me.' I couldn't believe that [the comments] could be towards me, because what do I have to do with anything majorly important at that time? I literally do the look around my shoulder thing, like, who is he talking to behind me? I say, 'I'm so sorry. Are you talking to me?' And clearly, he was, because then it started to become a one-on-one communication."Despite having "the least amount of privilege in terms of creatively participating," Liu said she stood her ground against Murray. The box office success of Magic Mike aside, Channing Tatum and Alex Pettyfer found themselves butting heads off-set, which ultimately led to Pettyfer's non-appearance in Magic Mike XXL. Perhaps one of the most interesting conflicts on a movie set belongs to Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling. In a VH1 interview, The Notebook director Nick Cassavetes revealed in 2014 that the two had extreme tension with one another when they started filming the 2004 movie. "Ryan came to me, and there's 150 people standing in this big scene, and he says, 'Nick come here.' 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?'' Cassavetes recalled. ''I said, 'What?' He says, 'I can't. I can't do it with her. I'm just not getting anything from this.'' Despite this, the two ended up developing a strong chemistry with each other and dated from 2005-2007. Julia Roberts' feud with Nick Nolte on the set of I Love Trouble seemingly impacted how the film was received by critics. According to an interview she gave the New York Times in the 90s, she revealed how the two had shared blame for some of their on-set troubles. "From the moment I met him we sort of gave each other a hard time, and naturally we get on each other's nerves,' Roberts revealed after she was asked about the reputation Nolte developed for being crude on set. '[While he can be] completely charming and very nice, he's also completely disgusting. He's going to hate me for saying this, but he seems to go out of his way to repel people. He's a kick." During a 2022 interview, Nolte acknowledged his own shortcomings in their reaction. "I mean, it was absurd what we went through. It was partly my fault and a little bit of hers. Julia got married at the beginning of that film, and it was one of those things where I just approached it all wrong.' Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze's chemistry was unmatched in Dirty Dancing. However, their previous encounters on the set of Red Dawn created friction that extended to their on-set attitudes with each other. Grey explained that Swayze often pulled juvenile pranks that rubbed her the wrong way, though she revealed he later tearfully apologized. Then, when they filmed Dirty Dancing, Swayze became frustrated with what he deemed a lack of professionalism, which actually helped make the movie what it was. "When we're doing those dance sequences, and everything, and she's crying, and she's giggling, those moments really work because they're real. They just took pieces of Patrick and Jennifer, working together as attempting to be a dance team, and my frustration. My real frustration. I'm trying to keep this girl serious. I'm trying to keep her from crying, trying to keep her focused, to get past her fear and her ego," he said. However, it seems as though the two ultimately shared an appreciation for one another, their skills, and what they brought to the table. It Ends With Us is probably the best example of on-set feuds between two on-screen lovers. Blake Lively filed a lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, the film's director and her co-star, alleging sexual harassment and a retaliatory smear campaign during production. In response, Baldoni countersued and denied the allegations. His countersuit targeted Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and her publicist for $400M for defamation, civil extortion, and attempting to take over the film's creative direction, per CBS. On-screen besties Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall apparently weren't quite close on the set of Sex And The City. Though there were reports that the two had their issues, Cattrall made her feelings about Parker clear after the latter expressed condolences for the loss of the former's brother. "I don't need your love and support at this tragic time @sarahjessicaparker," she wrote on Instagram. "My Mom asked me today 'When will that @sarahjessicaparker, that hypocrite, leave you alone?' Your continuous reaching out is a painful reminder of how cruel you really were then and now. Let me make this VERY clear. (If I haven't already) You are not my family. You are not my friend. So I'm writing to tell you one last time to stop exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your 'nice girl' persona," she added in the post. Tyrese Gibson, while an eccentric in his own right, has expressed immense disdain for James Franco in the past (although it feels like more of a collective feeling these days). On the set of Annapolis, there was a lot of tension, largely because of Franco's acting methods during the fight scenes, which apparently resulted in actual physical contact. 'I never want to work with him again, and I'm sure he feels the same way. It felt very personal. It was f**ked-up," Gibson stated. Meanwhile, Franco's explained that he's tried to bury the hatchet, though acknowledged that he probably wasn't the easiest to work with either. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and his feud with Vin Diesel have become part of the Fast & Furious franchise lore. It began when Diesel talked about the "tough love" he showed Johnson in an attempt to improve his acting chops, leading to on-set tension. Johnson also responded on Instagram, calling his co-star "chicken sh*t" and "candy a**." However, the two have seemingly ended their beef as Diesel shared a photo of the two on Instagram with the caption reading, "All love... Always..." Despite co-starring together on one of the most celebrated series on television, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson had a touch of tension on the set of The X-Files. Though it was primarily rumors that the two had issues with each other, they've both separately acknowledged a "strained" relationship, largely due to lengthy work hours. 'I mean, yes, there were definitely periods when we hated each other," she told the Guardian when asked about rumors of tension on set. 'Hate is too strong a word. We didn't talk for long periods of time. It was intense, and we were both pains in the arse for the other at various times.' She noted that the two have a much healthier relationship these days. "But we are closer today than we ever have been." Outside of Chris Rock, there are very few people that Will Smith has engaged in public feuds with. However, when it came to Janet Hubert, who played the original Aunt Viv in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, the on-set tension led to her being replaced entirely. During the 2020 Fresh Prince reunion, Smith and Hubert hashed out their differences with Will admitting that he made the set difficult for Janet. "You took all that away from me with your words," Hubert told Smith. "Words can kill. I lost everything. Reputation. Everything, everything. I understand you were able to move forward. You know those words — calling a Black woman 'difficult' in Hollywood is the kiss of death. It's hard enough being a dark-skinned Black woman in this business. I felt it was necessary for us to finally move forward. And I'm sorry I have blasted you to pieces." Hollywood harbors plenty of creeps that are only now getting exposed. But in the case of Marlon Brando, who is still considered one of the greatest actors of all time, his on-set behavior earned him a horrible reputation, especially due to the fallouts with close collaborators, acquaintances, and co-stars. Sophie Loren revealed in her 1963 memoir how inappropriate Brando was on the set of A Countess from Hong Kong. "All of a sudden, he put his hands on me. I turned in all tranquillity and blew in his face, like a cat stroked the wrong way and said, 'Don't you ever dare to do that again. Never again!'' she said. "As I pulverised him with my eyes he seemed small, defenceless, almost a victim of his own notoriety. He never did it again, but it was very difficult working with him after that.' Issues between William Shatner and George Takei began bubbling in the public eye after Takei revealed just how difficult Shatner was to work with. "It's difficult working with someone who is not a team player. The rest of the cast all understand what makes a scene work—it's everybody contributing to it,' Takei said about Shatner in 2015. 'But Bill is a wonderful actor, and he knows it, and he likes to have the camera on him all the time.' Years later, Shatner responded. "George has never stopped blackening my name. These people are bitter and embittered. I have run out of patience with them. Why give credence to people consumed by envy and hate?" he said. The feud between Sacha Baron Cohen and Rebel Wilson began on the set of The Brothers Grimsby, where Wilson alleged that Cohen asked her to engage in unscripted, lewd acts for the film. Before she released her memoir, Rebel Rising, which included a chapter dedicated to the "a*sholes" she worked with in Hollywood, specifically Cohen, who allegedly got a team of lawyers and PR crisis managers to suppress her memoir. Cohen's rep offered The Independent a statement regarding the claims. 'While we appreciate the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by extensive detailed evidence, including contemporaneous documents, film footage, and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during and after the production of The Brothers Grimsby," it read.

22 Movies That Are "Complete Trash," But People Love Them Anyway
We all love movies, and even when a film is panned by critics and fans alike, you can still enjoy the flick. On the r/movies subreddit, Reddit user u/Calypso75 asked people to share movies they love despite them being universally acknowledged as terrible. Grab your popcorn and soda, because here are some of the "bad" films people love: 1. " Pacific Rim. Let's be real, this movie was, objectively, not a great film, but for the love of all things holy, GIANT ROBOTS run by two people are fighting GIANT MONSTERS with GIANT WEAPONS and A GODDAMN BOAT SWORD. You don't understand the pure entertainment and joy this movie brought me." Warner Bros. Pictures / 2. " Project X is a guilty pleasure of mine. I know it's bad, but I just like when it goes batsh*t crazy." 3. "Magic Mike XXL. It's so bad but so good!!" Warner Bros. Pictures / — u/thecompanionlesscube 4. "David Lynch's Dune was so bad that he wanted his name stricken from the record. I love it, but good god, is it stupid." 5. " Blood Monkey. It's kinda like a low-budget Jurassic Park -type movie, but with a killer monkey. It's supposed to be scary, but it's hilariously funny." 6. " Van Helsing. I saw so many negative reviews when it came out, and I still see negative comments about the movie, but I loved it. In the words of Roger Ebert, ' Van Helsing is silly, spectacular, and fun.'" Universal Pictures / — u/Morguito 7. " The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I saw it first as a kid and thought it was cool as sh*t." 8. " Jumper. It's a bad movie, but I can't help but watch it every year or so. The concept is just so cool, but everything about the execution is wrong." 20th Century Fox 10. " Dudley Do-Right, with Brendan Fraser. There are parts of it that kinda make me cringe, but on the whole, I find it hilarious." 11. " Battleship. The plot and dialog are total cheese. Also, Brooklyn Decker." Universal Pictures — u/deltadal 12. " White Chicks." — u/Otharidos 13. " The Tuxedo starring Jackie Chan. Absolutely absurd, but my favorite part is Jackie dancing and lip-singing to James Brown." 14. " Mallrats. It's the film even Kevin Smith fans tend to hate, but I really like it. It's got a lot of good gags, and it moves at such a fast pace. It might just be nostalgia, though. Ever since I saw the 3D poster in my comic books, I knew I needed to see it. I even bought the soundtrack, and it cost almost $30. Adjusted for inflation, that's about $50 now." Gramercy Pictures / — u/TrollPoster469 16. " Jupiter Ascending. The wooden dialogue, the preposterous plot, the SPACE OPERA. Space wolf-hybrids. Space roller blades. Space bees. Space princes. Space industry. Space bureaucracy. This movie has space." 17. " Wild Wild West. I can't explain was a summer blockbuster that literally opens with decapitation and ends with a gigantic mechanical spider. It's so preposterous. I love it." 18. " Congo is a terrible movie that I happen to like anyway. I love it when the African general tells Tim Curry to stop eating his sesame cake." 19. " Evolution. It's obviously a 'bad' movie, yet it's also my favorite. If giant dinosaur birds ever attack a mall, I will totally sing, 'You are so beautiful' while making bird calls." 20. " Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters is AWESOME! It's simple, gritty, obnoxious, and fun but still has a plot." — u/Red_Raven 21. " Kung Pow! Enter the Fist remains one of the best movies I've seen, at least in my memory. I will never watch it again, so it remains that way." 20th Century Fox 22. And finally, " Waterworld."
