14 Actors Who Revealed They Had A Secret Crush On Their Co-Stars
At one point in time, we might have an innocent crush on a classmate or co-worker. Actors are no exception. They often work on a movie project for a couple of months or even years. Therefore, it’s understandable that these actors fell in love with their fellow actors. But sometimes, they eventually left the set with their hearts broken, just like the rest of us in normal life.
Movie stars like Zac Efron and Sandra Bullock have actually admitted to understanding those feelings for someone they worked with. While some actors chose to bury their secrets forever to avoid awkward moments during the filming, others kept it lighthearted and get everything out in the open (certainly, they only decided to disclose it after finishing the movie sets).
Today, we’ve compiled a list of 14 actors who revealed their crushes on costars years after filming wrapped. Keep scrolling down and check them out!
Howard revealed that she fancied Pattinson so much that one of her friends made Post-it notes with a photo of Pattinson’s face. Certainly, Howard’s husband was never happy about this story.
Banks also went on that she fell in love with her co-star. And Effie, her character, also had a crush on Haymitch, Still, Harrelson’s character, Haymitch couldn’t stand Effie. “I don’t know where Woody stands on Elizabeth,” the actress said.
According to Margolyes, Danes had a crush on DiCaprio, and it was actually “painful to watch” because he didn’t care about her feelings and was even dismissive of her. “It was obvious that she was in love with her Romeo, but Leonardo wasn’t in love with her. She wasn’t his type at all. He didn’t know how to cope with her evident infatuation,” Margolyes told.
Tara Reid, for instance, revealed that she lost her heart to Seann William Scott. “Really? I had no idea!” Scott reacted.
“She’s got, like, a light about her, you can’t teach or learn. It’s kinda magical,” Efron shared. Unfortunately, Byrne was in a relationship with another actor during the filming.
When Houston died, Costner released a statement, declaring, “She was my one true love.” So, you know why there was such strong chemistry between the two actors on-screen.
But Bullock was mistaken. When Reeves was asked if he knew that his former co-star had a crush on him, he answered, “No. She obviously didn’t know I had a crush on her either.” It’s such a pity.
“He was with Rita Wilson already. They were dating but hadn’t gotten married yet. So he was completely off limits, but he was adorable,” Perkins stated. The actress also declared she would remember her on-set kiss with Hanks forever.
She stated, “It came from me watching him make a speech once at some ceremony. He was just so smart and so funny and so cool, and I just sort of fell a little bit in love with him right there and then.”
The supporting actress, who saw the whole story, revealed, “I discovered that Matthew had a crush on Selma during the trial scene. We could see that heart beating every time he was around her. He was so nervous, and I thought, ’How could someone looking like that be as nervous as he is?’” Davis agreed with her words and said that he would adore Blair forever.
She had a crush on Jackson Rathbone, who portrayed Jasper. “I definitely had a crush on Jackson when we started working together. He’s just such a little Southern gentleman, and he’s so artistically brilliant,” Greene revealed.
“I definitely had a crush on him. We had a few kissing scenes in the movie and I remember feeling pretty nervous about that, but then we became friends, and I wasn’t so nervous anymore.”
Ironically, they did become friends eventually. Even though Perry continued to have feelings for her while they were filming Friends, Aniston showed no interest in him. But over time, his wounds healed, and while the show’s popularity skyrocketed, his crush disappeared on its own.
