10 bad films, the filming of which nevertheless became the beginning of a romance between star couples (11 photos)

Let's see what star couples formed during the filming of frankly unimportant films. Thus, the failure of the picture for them was compensated by love, which is why this stage of their life had a happy ending.





You've probably heard that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez got married on July 16, 2022, nearly 20 years after they first got engaged in 2003. Do you know under what circumstances they met? We answer: on the set of the film “Gigli” - one of the worst comedies of all time, crushed by critics and audiences, a failure at the box office, receiving six Golden Raspberries and becoming the lowest point in the film careers of both Affleck and Lopez.

An amazing moment to find your soul mate! But the actors, apparently, didn’t care about the film’s failure, because they found each other! (Although they later broke up due to excessive media attention and got back together only after almost two decades.)

Let's start with the already mentioned Ben and the newly minted Jennifer Lynn Affleck.

Gigli (2003)



Ratings: IMDb 2.3.

But Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez met on the set! And they received a Golden Raspberry as the worst actor and actress, respectively, and also received a general anti-award as the worst acting duet. But they got married (20 years later).
