Co-starring in a film or an episode of a television series can mean months, or even years, of working very closely with one another for performers. Therefore, if you don't like each other, that has to be challenging. Especially if your characters are close friends or are involved in romantic relationships.
Acting as though one does not find one's fellow cast member to be intolerable can sometimes be the best performance an actor has ever given in their career. There are a lot of co-stars who, contrary to how their characters interacted on screen, do not get along very well with one another in real life.

Charlize Theron told the Wall Street Journal in 2016 that the troubled working relationship she and Tom Hardy had on the set of Mad Max contributed to the film's overall tone. Perhaps the film wouldn't have been as bad if we weren't such good friends.
2. Jennifer Aniston and Jay Mohr

Actor Jay Mohr poked fun at his co-star Jennifer Aniston in a 2010 interview with Elle. Though he refused to name her specifically, he claimed, "Being on the set of a movie where the starring woman was dissatisfied with my presence and made it known from day one... The lead role slithered its way into my hands. "No way!" exclaimed the actress. I mean, come on, are you serious? Loudly. During breaks. on-set actors and actresses, I'd go so far as to wail at my mother's feet.
3. Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp

Even though Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp's on-screen chemistry necessitated a romantic relationship, the two reportedly had none once the cameras stopped rolling. Even though they are both Hollywood heavyweights, it seems that Depp thought Jolie was a snob, and Jolie thought Depp was a hot mess. The conflict between the two actors was inevitable throughout the production of the 2010 picture.
4. Kaley Cuoco and Johnny Galecki

One of the first major storylines on the blockbuster TV program The Big Bang Theory involved the budding romance between Penny (played by Kaley Cuoco) and Leonard (Johnny Galecki). Off-screen, Galecki and Cuoco dated, proving that art can mimic life. However, their relationship did not last long, and Cuoco eventually moved on. A breach may have arisen between her and her ex-lover since she makes a point of flaunting her new connection at every chance. Behind the scenes, the cast is far from as close as they appear in front of the camera.

Danes takes his profession seriously, whereas DiCaprio prefers to take things easy. They were doomed to never work together, but at least we bought their schtick.
6. Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams

Since Gosling and McAdams supposedly couldn't stand one other and feuded on set, their on-screen bickering wasn't difficult to portray. The two dated for two years after production for The Notebook concluded, so whatever happened on site stayed on set.
7. Harrison Ford and Sean Young

The film crew reportedly called the love moment between Deckard and Rachael "the hate scene" because the characters clearly disliked each other. Yikes.
8. Nick Nolte and Julia Roberts

While he described her as "not a good person, everyone knows that," she deemed him "absolutely filthy" once filming was over. I see. No feelings have been hurt.
9. Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn

Reese is a die-hard script-follower, whereas Vince is more likely to wing it. Unfortunately, that plan was doomed from the start
