22 Co-Stars Who Didn't Get Along In Real Life

Despite having ample opportunity (and good plot reasons) to have met in Westeros, Flynn and Headey's Game of Thrones characters, Bronn and Cersei, have conspicuously never shared the screen. Why? Sources have said that the former real-life couple aren't on speaking terms and refuse to work together.

"Jerome and Lena aren't on speaking terms any more and they are never in the same room at the same time," a source told The Telegraph in 2014. "It's a pity because they appeared to have patched things up for a while, but now the word is they should be kept apart at all costs."

Although rumours that the actors outright hated each other behind-the-scenes don't seem to be true (thankfully), Luke and Lorelai's onscreen chemistry didn't translate to an awesome relationship off-camera.

"It's fine," Graham explained to TV Guide when asked about her relationship with Patterson. "I think these characters have great chemistry and that doesn't mirror our chemistry as people. We're not intimates."

When the reporter asked if they were "best friends," she gave a quick and definitive "no" as her answer.

While filming 1996's Romeo+Juliet, Danes and DiCaprio reportedly didn't get along on set. According to reports, DiCaprio's habit of pranking the cast and crew annoyed Danes and he thought she was too "uptight."

Crawford and Davis' feud on the set of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? was so infamous that it was the subject of the first season of Ryan Murphy's anthology series Feud.

Rumours swirled that the two Sex and the City actresses weren't great friends in real life, with claims that Cattrall had become upset when she learned that Parker earned more than her costars.

In November 2009, Parker publicly denied the feud, however, telling Elle, "I don't think anybody wants to believe that I love Kim. I adore her. I wouldn't have done the movie without her."

The actresses starred together on the '90s hit Beverly Hills: 90210, but Doherty left the show after Season 4, reportedly due to problems getting along with her castmates. In a 2014 interview with E! Online, Garth opened up about her own feud with Doherty.

"We were locked in this sound stage for 14-16 hours every day. There were times when we loved each other and there were times when we wanted to claw each other's eyes out," she explained.

Doherty faced costar drama again on the set of her WB series, Charmed. After several reports of behind-the-scenes drama with Alyssa Milano, Doherty left the series after Season 3.

"There was too much drama on the set and not enough passion for the work," Doherty explained in an interview with Entertainment Tonight about her departure from the series. "I'm 30 years old and I don't have time for drama in my life anymore."

The costars have since made amends, however. In 2017, Milano told E! that they were in regular contact. "Shannen and I talk a lot on Twitter via [direct messenger] and I spoke to her maybe two or three days ago," she said. "She was on vacation and we decided that we're going to get together. The date has not been set yet."

In her memoir, Sorry Not Sorry: Dreams, Mistakes and Growing Up, Rivera addressed her long-rumoured feud with Glee costar Lea Michele.

"One of the Glee writers once said that Lea and I were like two sides of the same battery and that about sums us up," Rivera wrote. "We are both strong willed and competitive—not just with each other but with everyone—and that's not a good mixture."

The pop superstars infamously butted heads when they served as judges together on American Idol.

"Mariah has been saying little things to jab at Nicki from day one of shooting," a source told People of the feud. "Mariah doesn't think Nicki can sing and doesn't think she should be judging folks. Nicki has been taking all of the jabs, but on this particular day she lost it."

Gosling and McAdams had red-hot chemistry in 2004's The Notebook and it eventually translated into a real-life romance. But, early in their time working together, the costars couldn't stand one another. At one point, things got so bad that Gosling asked the director if they could bring in another actress for him to read against for his scenes.

"Maybe I'm not supposed to tell this story, but they were really not getting along one day on set. Really not," director Nick Cassavetes explained. "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.'"

In the case of One Tree Hill costars Chad Michael Murray and Sophia Bush, love came first and then came the on-set awkwardness. The costars married in April 2005 and separated just a few months later, in September 2005. They both continued as series regulars through 2009.

When Lohan guest-starred on Ferrera's ABC hit Ugly Betty, the actresses reportedly didn't get along. There were even rumours that Ferrera lobbied to have Lohan's arc cut short.

Dirty Dancing is one of the most iconic romance films of all time, but its leads didn't love each other behind-the-scenes. Swayze even eventually admitted in his memoir that he became impatient with Grey, who he felt goofed off and wasted time on set.

Fans adored Mulder and Scully for years, but the stars didn't always get along in real life.

"Familiarity breeds contempt," Duchovny once explained. "We used to argue about nothing. We couldn't stand the sight of each other."

The Gossip Girl costars reportedly had a strained relationship behind-the-scenes. Sources attributed the tension to long working days on set.

The actors reportedly didn't hit it off on the set of their 2010 film, The Tourist.

"Their chemistry was supposed to fly off the charts, but in private, they're not getting along. She was disappointed that he didn't get in better shape for the role and that he didn't want to cut his hair. Johnny retreats to his own trailer until he's called out again. He think she's really full of herself," sources said.

The actors' differing work styles reportedly caused tension on the set of their holiday movie, Four Christmases. Sources said Witherspoon wanted to rehearse extensively while Vaughn preferred a more improvisational approach.

Smith and his Fresh Prince of Bel-Air costar Janet Hubert had an infamously strained working relationship, which ultimately led to her character being recast in Season 4. Hubert has said she would never reprise the role for a reunion show.

Apparently those barbs Dorothy spat at Rose on Golden Girls weren't all acting. In 2011, White admitted that Arthur didn't care for her behind-the-scenes.

"Bea had a reserve. She was not that fond of me," she said. "She found me a pain in the neck sometimes. It was my positive attitude — and that made Bea mad sometimes. Sometimes if I was happy, she'd be furious!"

When their Nickelodeon show, Victorious, was cancelled, Grande took to social media to subtly point blame at her former costar.

"Sweetheart the only reason Victorious ended is because 1 girl didn't want to do it," Grande wrote. "She chose to do a solo tour instead of a cast tour. If we had done a cast tour Nickelodeon would have ordered another season of Victorious while Sam and Cat filmed simultaneously but she chose otherwise. I'm sick of this bs."
