“No chemistry”: duets of actors whose love no one believed (11 photos)
Sometimes you watch a movie or series, and such passions unfold on the screen that you start to sweat. And many viewers end up worrying about the relationships of movie characters more than their own! But... sometimes there is no spark at all between the actors. As a result, even a child will not believe in the “feelings” of the main characters. What's the problem? After all, there is no doubt about the talent of the actors. And the directors know their stuff... and the script is not bad. Eh, what can I say? Lawless Heart!
Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp
The Tourist (2010) is not Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005).
Johnny was a poor choice for the role and it ruined the movie for me.
I read somewhere that Angelina Jolie was mad at him because he wouldn't cut his hair for the movie lol, so she gave him the cold shoulder on set. I can believe his appearance really didn't match the mood of the characters and made him look like Willy Wonka.
Daniel Radcliffe and Bonnie Wright
Everyone knows this couple from Harry Potter, but not everyone is happy with their portrayal on the screen.
Dan and Bonnie are so awkward, and even their brief scenes together don't help (they make me incredibly embarrassed, especially the tying their shoelaces scene).
Pierce Brosnan and Denise Richards
In the nineteenth Bond film, “The World is Not Enough” (1999), the main characters failed to hook the viewer with a love line.
It's crazy because Pierce Brosnan is famous for being able to flirt with a brick wall and make it crumble. He is the personification of charisma. But they both felt so uncomfortable, as if she didn’t feel him, and he didn’t feel her either. I still like them both, but not together.
Zooey Deschanel and Mark Wahlberg
The actors played a married couple in the film “The Happening” (2008).
I liked this movie as a child. Who knows why? But I always thought they were just good friends who adopted children.
Honestly, Mark and Zoe's chemistry was better than the script's logic.
Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher
The actors starred in the romantic comedy “To You or To Me?” (2023).
They capture the energy of a divorced couple forced to take photos at their child's concert.
God, this movie is terrible. I love silly rom-coms, but these 90 minutes are a waste of time. SO BORING, also because there is absolutely no chemistry between them.
Dane DeHaan and Cara Delevingne
Netizens note that the actress, in principle, is not capable of “chemistry,” but this is especially noticeable in the film “Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets” (2017).
Cara Delevingne seems like a wonderful friend and a pleasure to be around, but her acting is so terrible it's almost funny.
I like the movie no matter what, but these two are the absolute peak of zero chemistry.
Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson
In 2022, they released the romantic comedy “The First Man You Come.”
He seemed to be a random person who somehow wandered in front of the camera repeatedly.
Yeah, Owen Wilson was tricked into being in the movie or something, because it definitely wasn't him. Jennifer Lopez plays the same character in every movie (except Hustlers).
Lindsay Lohan and Chord Overstreet
The winter romantic comedy “An Unforgettable Christmas” (2022) does not breathe magic.
She doesn't look like she might have chemistry.
I watch a lot of rom-coms and this movie made me feel like my brain was being processed by artificial intelligence.
Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis
The sci-fi film Jupiter Ascending (2015) lacked fantastic feelings between the characters.
I absolutely love this movie, but their chemistry is just sooo bad.
He made me very upset. I swear there's a good movie out there somewhere, but it gets lost behind Mila Kunis' terrible performance, Channing Tatum's eyeliner and... wings... why he has wings at the end... I still don't know.
Lauren London and Jonah Hill ![]()
The romantic comedy What Kind of People (2023) was a complete failure! This shot really shows that there isn't really a kiss, and it looks really bad.
It was SO terrible. In addition, the film had to modify the kissing scene between them using computer graphics! I know Lauren didn't want to do that scene out of respect for her late boyfriend (Nipsey Hussle), but when it comes down to it, maybe you shouldn't do romantic comedies?
Henry Cavill and Amy Adams
One of the most iconic couples in the comic book world disappointed audiences in Man of Steel (2013).
I thought Henry Cavill and Amy Adams had absolutely no chemistry in Man of Steel - they seemed so awkward together.
