Enemies in the film, but good friends behind the scenes! (15 photos)

Almost any film shooting where there is a clearly defined antagonist and protagonist takes place under this motto.





There are rare cases where actors playing adversaries agree not to see each other outside of filming, such as Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer during the making of Top Gun (1986). But in general, the more intense the relationships between the characters in the plot, the more fun the actors have and the more likely it is that they can become real comrades.

Let's take a look at some good pictures from film sets when on-screen enemies suddenly became friends.
