One of the most heart-warming things we see in our weekly shows and movies are these friendships, these relationships that just seem impossible to fracture or end. They weather every storm and recover from every setback, who wouldn't want a friendship like that? But what if we told you that off-screen, backstage in the dressing rooms and make-up areas, some of the best relationships on the silver screen turn sour? Here we're going to show you the stars that are close on screen, and hate each other in reality.
Leonardo and Claire had some amazingly steamy scenes on set, but off set they avoided each other like the plague. Claire found Leonardo to be painfully immature, but those on set hinted that there may have been a hint of High School drama in the air. Claire admitted that there may have been romantic tension that neither of them knew how to resolve. Sparks of love and hate! How Hollywood!
Perhaps one of the best documented cases of serious on stage rivalry, the hatred between Will Smith and Janet Hubert was so pronounced that it led to her being fired. Hubert's reports of what happened afterwards frankly sound like the mulings of a persecuted actress trying to make herself look like the victim. Let's be frank though honey, if no one wanted to go to lunch with you, maybe you were just an intolerable human being?
Shia LeBeouf and Tom Hardy were together on the set of Lawless when the actor throwdown of the century started. Shia and Tom's conflict ran so deep that the pair of them were know to engage in fisticuffs and the rumor mill was alive with the heat of their conflict. Shia was known for his utter lack of filter, and Tom made no bones about their mutual dislike.
Sharon Stone has long been known as one of the most hated starlets in Hollywood, a hatred running so deep that her crew once urinated in her bath just to show how much disgust they had for her. Billy Baldwin stated that during her time on the cast of Sliver, she actually bit his tongue during a screen kiss and sterilized her mouth with mouthwash each time.
The NoteBook, easily one of the most beloved and romantic films of the last decade. While Ryan and Rachel had a powerfully romantic engagement on film, and they ended up in a relationship for real after the filming was done.. On set? They absolutely hated each other, to the point that Naya tried to get her cast off set and replaced for the film.
So much bright singing, so much great joy, but when you get down to Glee, it’s perhaps best to remember that it's ultimately about High School. As such, High School rivalry appears a lot on set, and the dislike between Naya and Michele is positively chilling. There's a lot of talk about jealousy, diva behavior, and straight-up altercations, but one thing we know is true, drama reigns supreme, even in fake High Schools.
Everyone was waiting for Mulder and Scully to finally get together, but as anyone who watched the show knows, the aliens got freaky with Scully first. What few people knew is how tumultuous things got on the set between these two before they finally became friends. In recent years there's a strong affection between them, but during the first few seasons the dislike was palpable. Guess David grows on people like a fungus, eh?
