Cinema is a collective product, but, as in any group, there is always room for conflict on the set.
Kirk Cameron and Julie McCullough - "Growing Pain"
Kirk Cameron was an ardent Christian, and because of this, actress Julie McCullough, who played with him in the TV series Growing Pains, got into big problems. He was disdainful of her because she had appeared on the cover of Playboy four years earlier.
After this, Julie McCullough was fired, but no reasons were given, although everyone understood that these two facts were inextricably linked. Years later, Kirk apologized, citing the fact that he was still very young. Then the creators of the series intervened, who said that Julie was fired for plot reasons, but this is completely unconvincing, because her character was not cut out, and Julie herself was replaced by Chelsea Noble, who was then dating Kirk.
Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher - "That '70s Show"
Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are now loving husband and wife who met while filming That '70s Show. It is noteworthy that Mila deceived the creators of the series when she was casting. She said she was 18, although she was still a teenager at the time.
The relationship between Mila and Ashton did not work out right away. Even though they played a couple, the duo actually hated each other. But then their relationship improved significantly and they broke up after filming ended on a good note, which allowed them to get together a few years later.
David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson - The X-Files
The X-Files is mostly remembered for these two actors, who made an unforgettable duo and seemed like they should have had a great friendship or even love relationship, but it was quite the opposite. David and Gillian didn't get along and part of the reason for that was gender inequality in terms of pay.
David was paid much more than Gillian, and this naturally upset and angered her. Their relationship became so tense that they stopped communicating with each other and could not stay in the same room for a long time, but after some time they found a common language and their relationship improved significantly.
Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd - Moonlight Detective Agency
While the series “Moonlight Detective Agency” was being filmed, fans did not even suspect that the relationship between the leading actors Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd was very strained.
Only 16 years after the end of the series, Cybill Shepherd said that she and Bruce fought before almost every fight scene. Old grudges seem to have gone into the sunset because Sybill said that "he's more attractive now without hair."
Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Gray - "Dirty Dancing"
Nobody likes it when someone rips off takes. Patrick Swayze especially did not like this during the filming of the film Dirty Dancing. He recalled that the film crew, because of Jennifer Gray, had to reshoot the same shot several times because someone criticized her or she was dizzy.
Despite such a cold relationship, Jennifer did not harbor a grudge, because she was very sorry when Patrick Swayze passed away.
Vivian Vance and William Frawley - "I Love Lucy"
Often on-screen duets between a man and a woman fail because the man belittles the acting abilities of his colleague. A similar thing happened during the filming of the film “I Love Lucy,” which starred Vivian Vance and William Frawley. William believed that Vivian had no acting talent and therefore had a negative attitude towards her, although perhaps the reason was different. The actress responded to him in kind and for this reason they almost disrupted the filming, but their negative attitude towards each other was beneficial and some unsuccessful scenes remained in the film because they looked organic.
Kenny Baker and Anthony Daniels - Star Wars
With actors like Anthony Daniels, Alec Guinness, and Harrison Ford, Star Wars fans have a bad feeling when mentioning the old trilogy. Harrison Ford hated Han Solo and asked him to be killed, Alec Guinness hated Obi-Wan and the whole idea of the trilogy, and Anthony Daniels, who played C-3PO, seemed to have no camaraderie with his co-stars because he avoided them and clashed with Kenny Baker, who played R2-D2.
Kenny Baker said he asked Anthony Daniels to attend events with other actors because it would help promote Star Wars, but Daniels responded by saying, “Go away, little man.”
